“Who wants these Book of Mormon tickets? I bought them for Ben and I, but then he cheated on me so I have no use for them haha,” said Jess Farah, a recently divorced woman.
Approximately 6 months ago Jess’s husband filed for a divorce after he fell in ‘love’ with a fellow police officer. It’s believed that the woman he chose over Jess seduced her ex-husband by wearing provocative clothing and laughing obnoxiously loudly at his jokes that weren’t even funny.
“Maybe that’s what I should be doing in the office? [Haha]” Jess laughed awkwardly.
While it’s great that Jess is putting on a brave face, as one colleague explains, the constant jokes about it are just starting to make things awkward.
“I don’t know whether to laugh or console her, do I just ignore that she’s dropped her divorce into the conversation?”
“It’s getting so awkward now.”
“The other day she was milling around the bin, making a bit of a fuss, you know just waiting for someone to ask her what’s wrong.”
“So, I asked her, and she goes ‘oh yeah everything’s fine, if fine means that my husband left me for another woman’ like wtf?”
“How am I meant to respond to that?”
It’s understood that the Book of Mormon tickets are still available if anyone wants them, your payment will be listening to Jess crack awkward jokes about her divorce.
