An autistic woman who made the room descend into uncomfortable silence was just trying to one-up her colleague's joke, it has been rumoured.
Kelsey Dacey, 24, was reportedly enjoying a witty back-and-forth exchange with a group of colleagues when she got that buzzy, reckless feeling of her mouth opening before her brain had a chance to catch up, leaving the entire meeting “horrified”.
HR Manager Sarah Harrow, 35, said: “From what I gather, Kelsey’s team was riffing on how bad the new coffee machine is. Ryan Wilkins said, and I quote ‘it tastes like literal shit’, which admittedly wasn’t the best thing to say in a workplace. Unfortunately, Kelsey responded ‘tastes like your mum’s butt.’”
“This was already an inappropriate thing to say,” Harrow continued. “But it was exacerbated by the fact that Ryan’s mum died last year - of bowel cancer.”
Dacey commented: “I forgot about that. Admittedly, I did put in a fiver for the sympathy flowers.”
Dacey was last seen Googling “jobs where it doesn’t matter if you make a comment about someone’s dead mum’s butt”, before making enquiries about

This hits hard. My family nickname since forever is “Captain Too Far”. You can probably guess why… I just add my little part to the convo & all my siblings do THAT FACE and someone says “aye aye Cap’n” or “yeah the line was about a mile behind you Cassy.” That’s a sign that I ahhh missed the mark slightly (or wildly) yet again 😂🤷🏻♀️🙈. Luckily my friends seem to encourage my lack of filter. I guess because there’s no consequences for them when I’ve ruined my own reputation again…
