A young, single, female teacher I work with asked me to make 20 cupcakes, decorated & filled for her to give to a male friend of hers for Valentine's Day. We got together, decided on fillings, etc. I brought them to her yesterday, & she was thrilled. Here's the aggravating part: She showed them to other coworkers, because she was so happy with them. The secretary the proceeds to whine & beg her "for just one" - "he won't miss just one", etc. The poor girl was on the spot, & gave her one. Of all the nerve of this woman! She knew these were for a special occasion, & still would not stop! I just hate seeing good people taken advantage of. As far as the secretary, she is a professional "Beggar"!!!! Always wanting something for nothing!
Every office has one .... it's like they are a bloodhound sniffing out the free food!
Put in perspective .... you would NEVER do this with:
"Look at the gloves I just bought my daughter!"
"Oh can I have one! AFter all, you have two!"
"I got a great deal on Christmas wrapping paper at lunch today!"
"Great! Can I have 3 rolls so I don't have to tread out in the snow to buy my own?"
As my husband is fond of saying, "Poor-a$$ people have Poor-A$$ ways!" (BTW..... There's a big difference between being "poor" and being "poor-a$$"!)
I so know where you are coming from.
I made cake balls for my boss for our company Christmas party. The Christmas party was on a Saturday night at her house, and she paid me full price for the cake balls.
I brought the cake balls to work on Friday so my boss could take them home with her and have everything set up for Saturday. Well I asked a co-worker to help me with the seran wrap I had over the cake balls on a plate, and as she was helping me, she reached in and grabbed one and popped it in her mouth!!
I could have killed her. Yeah it was for our company party and she'd be eating them anyway, but I didn't even taste test them because I knew my boss was payin full price and was expecting so many cake balls.
Plain and simple, some people are just stupid! I read a quote last year I like a lot by someone well know, although I can't remember who, but it goes like this "Too bad stupidity isn't painful!"
I think I would have said something to the whining/beggar of a secretary about ordering her own. You can't hedge around things with people like this.
As for the co-worker who helped herself to what the boos had ordered, I think I would have wanted to slap her. But alas I am too nice for that. Dang.............. Ü
I had something very similar happen to me yesterday! I sent an arrangement from edible arrangements to my Sweetheart. One of the co-workers thats always beggin had the nerve to yell out "THANKS!!!" I was pissed!! But what can u do when your Sweetheart is too giving?? ![]()
