5+ True Stories That Start Normal… and End Unbelievably

Story 4:

In college, I was randomly assigned a group for a capstone project. One guy never showed up to meetings, missed all the deadlines. We gave him a bad peer review and figured that was it.

Months later, I get a job offer… and he’s the hiring manager.

He looks at my name, pauses, and goes, “I remember you.” I thought I was done for, but he laughs and says, “You were right.” He hired me because I told the truth when no one else would. I still have no idea if it was a test or just karma.
