Employee recommends ‘Stranger Things’ to their arrogant colleague, who then berates them because the show ‘traumatized’ her: ‘Her bad moods would dominate the workplace’

The last season of Stranger Things recently aired on Netflix last week… and it's safe to say that it has brought up some feelings about the season's past.

No, this isn't a television review where we criticize camera direction, plot points, and character arcs. The story in question is of a Stranger Things-centric occurrence that one employee witnessed in their workplace nearly 10 years ago, right when the first season of the internationally famous program debuted.

If you haven't been living under a rock, you know that Stranger Things largely targets a young audience, but people of all ages tune into the show because it's a hit. It has action, funny kids who are now not-so kiddish anymore, and Winona Ryder. What else do you need?

The colleague in the story below could've done without it, because she berates an employee for recommending the show to her. You're probably wondering what traumatized this narrator-described "annoying" colleague… and why she was only putting herself in the position of the late Barb's mother, and not Will Byers or Eleven, who also suffer from grueling fates. Scroll below to read the entire story.
