My boss compared me to his wife a few times, and even his daughter, and I'm just trying to understand why. One example is when I was struggling to take my antibiotics because I have a phobia of huge pills getting stuck in my throat. He was joking about it and briefly mentioned how his wife fears huge pills for the same exact reason. Obviously that's not a big deal, so I laughed and added that it's mainly the white chalky ones that give me anxiety, and he agreed that it was the same for her too. Then another morning, I was walking towards the building while dangling my car keys, which is a habit of mine. He caught up to me and jokingly asked if I really have to dangle my keys like that. Then he mentioned that his wife does it too and it's so annoying. So I'm like "okay lol?" He then went on to laugh about something else women do that annoys him.
Then the day he compared me to his 9 year old daughter was when we were all working from home, and I messaged him that I accidentally dropped my laptop charger in my brothers car and that I was irresponsible for doing that (I tend to be a little clumsy & forgetful sometimes). He responded saying "Yes you were. Like my daughter. Always leaving her glasses at home, and I end up late for work everyday because I have to drop it off to her in her class." Why does he compare me to his wife and daughter like that?
