one time this guy just told me "stop it."

 I've probably already told this story but it's been at least a few years so I'll tell it again.

One time I was working at this job and the staff were sitting around eating, relaxing, having a good time and from across the table I was sitting at my supervisor looked me dead in the eyes and with a completely straight face said, "Andy. Stop it. Cut it out."

And I hadn't been saying or doing anything. I was just sitting in what I thought was a completely neutral way. And my supervisor was a really nice guy and he liked to kid around a lot so I just laughed and said, "what?"

But he didn't smile he said, again, "Stop it."

And I still don't know for sure what he ever meant but in the back of mind I thought, he's telling you you look nervous and weak. Stop sitting there all quiet and passive.

I don't know. He never explained. He looked directly into my soul and said 'stop it.' while I thought I was doing as little as I possibly could. 

I don't think he was being mean. I like to think he was saying, "this is your issue. you have the power to fix it. fix it."

Or maybe it was a joke. Or maybe he just wanted to see what would happen. The conversation at the table drifted on to something else. Nobody else really reacted to it. The more I describe it, the more it sounds like a dream but I'm 100% sure it happened. 

To put it in terms that no one ever asked for, if words are spells, this is the highest level spell that's ever been cast on me. Power Word Stop It.
