One day my boss comes up to me and says, “Ive got tickets to the Lakers basketball game on Sunday. Do you wanna go?” I dont know anything about basketball, but he said he wanted me to get to know the other people in the office, and I didnt want to seem rude, so I went, “Sure, Ill go.” It was okay cause there were other people from the office at the game. So I didnt mind. But, the next time I see him he comes up to me and says, “Wanna go to the opera next weekend? I have an extra ticket.” I was like, “Okay, thats kind of weird,” but I thought, well, maybe this is all right. Id never been to an opera. And so we went to the opera, but it was all in Italian and it got to be really boring but I sat through the whole show. I wanted to leave but hes my boss, so I couldnt say no. I didnt feel like I could leave. So after that, I tried to avoid him in the office and I almost make it through the week when he corners me yesterday in the breakroom. And now hes invited me to go to the ballet. I hate the ballet! How do I get out of this situation?
