Update! 'It was kind of satisfying actually': Lying boss cries after being hit repeatedly by paintballs while cheating at a company event

Cheaters may never win—but crying and gaslighting an entire workplace in order to cover their tracks is well within their capabilities. 

This post does beg an important question: If you had the chance to hit your boss repeatedly in the head with paintballs, would you take it? Then, if they tried to lie and gaslight your entire office in order to save face, would you let them? There are certainly the bold among us who would have been sitting right there in that meeting, ready to commit to a scorched earth policy and point out that the boss had actually cried after being hit by paintballs repeatedly because they had been trying to cheat.

For those unaware here, despite the fact that paintballs explode, it's easy to deny being hit and not call yourself out since you're usually already covered in paint anyway; it can be hard to prove a hit, especially if the paint is hard to see or you commit to cheating by 'wiping' off the paint. For these reasons, it can take the witness of a ref to get a cheater out.

The poster originally shared their story to Reddit's TIFU (Today I F*** Up) subreddit, where they shared their story and their fears about what fallout might occur from what happened on the paintball field (Items #1-10). They then returned to provide an update about what had happened since their original post (Items #11-18). These threads were crossposted to the r/BestofRedditorUpdates subreddit, where I've grabbed some more reactions.

Keep reading for this glorious tale of a workplace event gone wrong. For more TIFU, check out this guy who accidentally called his boss "Mom."
