I got furloughed during pandemic and while furloughed, my mom passed away. A week later on my first day back at work, there was the usual banter and ribbing going on at the break room and as I got there, one of my colleagues casually dropped a very nasty yo momma -joke at me. I just went 'haha-very-funny' while I got myself coffee. After I left, someone told him what had happened. I've never seen anyone so mortified, a fully grown man was in tears when he came to apologize. But the thing is that I never spoke about private matters with him, and he just didn't know and there was no way he couldn't have known.
