TIFU by accidently telling my boss I want to die
It was earlier today but I still cringe at the thought. (Sorry for formatting on a phone)
I was already exasperated from work because I had to work two departments today and he was trying to rush me. I seethed about it for an hour and went on my day just a little more mentally exhausted. I was doing a few things on my last hour, ready to go home when he accidently bumped into me and said, "Oop. I don't mean to run you over on purpose." (Obviously a joke.)
My response was, "I really wish you would." I internally screamed. I only meant to think it not fucking say it and he said nothing. Absolutely nothing...and we walked by each other a few times and again said nothing. I should have just said nothing or literally anything else. So now I live with the thought that he probably thinks I'm a freak for answering their boss like that...oh well.
TL;DR: My boss made a joke about running me over and I said I wish you did.

My girlfriend is now being involuntarily held for making a similar comment. Be careful what you say at work in regards to suicide and such. Some people don't understand euphemisms, or some people might have it out for you. Some might also not want to be liable if you made a comment and it wasn't reported.
