Handshake Under the Bed

You wake in the night with your arm hanging over the side of your bed. It is still dark, and your bedroom is shrouded in deep shadow. Something unseen seizes your hand. You grasp it tightly, knowing that first impressions are important and a firm, confident handshake will establish dominance. A hollow voice echos under your bed, shaking you to your core, "You’re hired."

A person reaches over the side of their bed in the darkness and feels an unseen presence grab their hand. Instead of panicking, they confidently shake it to establish dominance, only to hear a hollow voice say, "You’re hired." The joke treats a terrifying encounter under the bed like a job interview, making the supernatural creature the employer. It is used as an absurd reaction to unexpectedly getting a job or confidently handling a frightening situation.
