My boss literally stole my custom suit and wore it to a meeting

okay so this happened and I genuinely cannot stop thinking about it. I work at a startup in marketing, right, and my team lead is just... unhinged. Like she tries to be helpful but she's genuinely unhinged. Her feedback sometimes sounds like she's scolding a kindergartener? Anyway.

Our company has this super casual vibe. No dress code really, just wear what you want. I like looking put-together so I started wearing suits a lot. And I had this custom suit tailored just for me. Navy blue, perfect fit, it made me feel SO confident. I loved that suit.

But then weird stuff started happening. Like I'd come in and my clothes would have wrinkles, or my shoelaces would be untied, or pens would be everywhere. I thought I was just losing it from late-night work stuff. Then it kept happening. My new tie would be twisted, my lip balm would show up in my coat pocket... I started wondering if someone was messing with me but like. Everyone at my company is sharp. Why would anyone waste energy on me lol.

I tried bringing it up to my boss casually, being all polite. She just was like 'you doing okay? stressed?' LMAO. I let it go.

Then THE DAY came. I'm in early for an important meeting, reviewing my presentation. And my boss walks into my office wearing... MY CUSTOM SUIT. The exact navy one I wore that morning. The one with my initials on the buttons.

I froze. Literally could not move. All I could think was 'I'm going to lose it.'

She's on some work call, completely unbothered. And the suit pants are tighter on her than they should be, which is wild because she usually dresses oversized.

I take a breath and I'm like 'Um... team lead... is that... my suit?'

She finishes her call and looks at me dead in the eye. 'Oh this? Your custom suit is so pretty. I just wanted to borrow it real quick. Looks good on you too.'

I'm SORRY WHAT.

I was shaking. 'You... borrowed it? Without asking? While I'm wearing it?'

She shrugs. 'I saw it on you. Just wanted to try it on.'

DEAD. I was dead. That's not borrowing. That's just... taking something.

I asked her to give it back. She's like 'I'll return it in a minute, you'll just wear something else anyway' and walks out laughing.

I got my suit back but like. The audacity was INSANE. I couldn't tell anyone because my friends would pity me and coworkers would just be like 'oh team lead is always weird lol.'

So what did I do. I snuck a sticky note on her desk. She found it. She knew it was me. KEKEKE.

Eventually I apologized (WHY DID I APOLOGIZE) and I put that suit in my closet and never wore it again. Then at a company dinner? She showed up wearing a tie that matched it.

I'm still not over this. I learned that day: never share outfit ideas with unhinged coworkers.

BUT HERE'S THE TWIST. Apparently she was just trying to compliment my style and was being... tsundere about it??? Like she wanted to show me she appreciated the suit?

So yeah. Workplaces are chaotic. That's it. That's the post.
