obligatory "this didn't happen today"
So I'm an amusement park kind of guy but most of my friends either actively dislike them or don't like them enough to pay to go and like sit in traffic. I had this coworker (30sF. at the time I was 35m) who I wasn't like friends friends with but definitely pre-friends and one day we're talking and she mentions she also likes amusement parks. So I say we should go sometime to which she says "great? can I bring my boyfriend?" (in retrospect i think she didn't realize I WASN'T asking her on a date, parks are just less boring when you're with a friend) so I say "sure sounds great" and we make plans to meet at the park.
here's where the FU happens. she's cool and all but her boyfriend? that dude was AWESOME. 5 minutes in him and I are getting along like a house on fire, turns out we have a lot of similar interests and we're just having a great time the way 2 dudes can immediately.
So we're hanging out at the wave pool and we're trying to include her but honestly the two of us had more in common than either one of us did with her and she's giving the terse "it's fine" and so eventually he's like "look you're upset and if I can I want to fix it so can you tell me what's wrong?" and she screams "I've just spent the past 5 hours with my boyfriend and apparently his FUCKING SOULMATE!"
and here's where I really double down on the FU, she said that and I laughed. Which made Steve laugh. which made her (and him) leave.
Yeah work was a tad awkward with her until I got transferred 3 months later (very normal in my job).
She and Steve broke up about a month after my transfer. which I know because I'm still in touch with him and he actually couch crashed with us (my now wife and i) for a few weeks last year when he was waiting on his apt to be ready
tldr: coworker thought I was asking her on a date so brought her bf on a hang out. her bf and I ended up getting along better than they did which led in part to them breaking up
