I just ruined a coworker's day.. :(

Ooops.

I just ruined a spanish-speaking coworker's day. He was wearing a MN Vikings/Brett Favre t-shirt. I jokingly told him that I thought his Brett Favre t-shirt was no bueno.

He THOUGHT I said that his t-shirt was no bueno because he needed to wear a bra.

My spanish is not great. I tried to explain about the American Football player, it was a joke.. but he was pissed because he still thought that I told him to wear a bra. It took some translation before he understood what I had said. Of course, as soon as it was explained/translated, my GM came back to the break area and, as a huge Packer fan, commented on Jose's Brett Favre shirt. Poor timing. Jose understands some english, but apparently not as much as I thought he did. 

Whoops.... Embarrassed  I now know to not joke around with him...

  • That's horrible... and a little amusing. You and he will someday laugh at this when his english is better.  I would give him a A for effort on the MN Viking clothing. :)
