The third story features a deeply literal boss who, when an employee named H walks into his office and declares 'I am gay' then falls silent for ten minutes, responds by asking if H has any marketing insights for that demographic and whether he's getting married and needs time off. A mutual friend scolds the boss; he posts to Reddit genuinely confused about what he did wrong. The group sympathises — he was thrown off-guard in a professional setting and wasn't rude, just not warm. Reddit agrees: not the asshole.

Jay had aged out of foster care, been taken in by the boss's family, and delayed the adoption because he feared rejection after coming out as gay — but the family filed paperwork the next day. The boss shared H's email with Jay to give him a gay friend for support; they fell in love and got engaged.
