    crazy boss - Text - One morning my boss walks out of his office asking if anyone wants the other half he cut off of his bran muffin Everyone said they were fine and he went back into his office. 2 hours later an employee comes in with a box of doughnuts to share. Everyone came up and took one thanking the employee for the treat. The boss was visibly mad that everyone went for the doughnuts and no one wanted his half of his bran muffin. He was just a big grump for the rest of the day.
