To be fair, being closeted drove me nuts into my late 20’s. What drives me nuts now is how everyone is so easily offended, such as how these two dudes reacted to an innocent question. People also get offended over things that don’t affect them, they just assume that people who it does effect should be offended. A minor example of this would be markwieder’s comment, “Can’t believe this is from 2016”. What’s so hard to believe about it? To me, this looks like a slice of real life working retail (Thankfully I don’t work retail, but my partner manages four Subways, so I hear the stories). Beardo is damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t. He casually asks whether these guys are together, which, even thoug he didn’t mean “TOGETHER together”, in 2016 is a perfectly reasonable question, and the way he asked it shows he’s perfectly comfortable around same sex couples. The other fellow’s comment about how it must be driving them nuts to be so closeted shows that he’s also OK with it, and I think it’s a perfectly reasonable (and quite funny) joke, because there are a LOT of gay couples who are closeted only in their own minds. I was half of one of those couples. When my partner moved in with me 17 years ago we told everyone he was a roommate, and I am pretty sure we were the only two people on Earth who thought people believed that…
At my place we had a chef a couple of years ago who was in the closet with the door open. He never mentioned it, and because of our “diversity policy” we couldn’t either. It didn’t really matter I guess(his problem was mediocrity, not orientation), but it was irritating that employees were prohibited from stating the obvious. Like forbidding people from bringing up your eye color. PC neo-Victorianism.

Can’t believe this is from 2016.

They’re a couple of sphincters.
