Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Context: I work in tech support as a Lvl 1 tech in an open office with a few other techs; one of them is a Lvl 2 (will be called James) and has been with the company I work at for about 15 years whereas it's my 6 months. It's also worth of note that I'm autistic, and it's pretty god damn hard for me to pick up social queues and get hints.

&amp;#x200B;

Anyway, during a pretty dead afternoon (about 2pm, relevant later), we were discussing random stuff and whatnot since we didn't have much to do. 

One of the other techs told James something along the lines of "I hope you get what you wish". 

He replied with "If that were the case, I wouldn't be here anymore". This line kind of took me by surprise, because James is really knowledgeable and seemed to like his job; I couldn't help but let out a quick "oh no".

Now, what I didn't consider is that his shift ends at 3; he replied with "Oh, I meant how I'd like to leave right now but still have one hour left. I didn't know I had to justify myself".

I didn't feel resent against me from him for the rest of the day, but I couldn't help but feel a bit of an asshole.

So, redditors, AITA?
