Sigh...... People are working my last nerves right now.
Some dude from work is retiring, I dont rock with this dude AT ALL. I dont speak to him, I dont go near him, none of that. But everyone and their mom wants to make a huge deal out of this and forcing everyone to be involved including myself. Asking me to make food and when I said no they made a scene and make me look like a jerk. "OMG Antidope why dont you want to do it, hes leaving! its such a big deal OMGZERS" So of course I cave and say I will even though I dont want to and cant stand this guy, but thats not where it stops no no no no....
The person who is organizing this just asked me why I havent made a donation to his gift card.... SERIOUSLY? I thought donations were voluntary? So now not only do I have to make food, but I have to give money to a guy that I dont even like because of what? Taking sick days on every party from here on out because this is BS
I think it's
dope that your co-workers call you Antidope..
but really why don't you like the guy?
Does he like you?
Hes just flat out annoying to me. He does a multitude of things that rub me the wrong way. I'm 90% sure that he doesnt like me either, we have a mutual understanding and we dont speak at all. We're the first two people to get to work most days and not a word is uttered until others get here.
I am with you 100% on this. We do stuff like this all the time. We have some one retiring or moving jobs every 2 weeks and we have to get something together for them. Or its some ones birthday. Or some one loses a loved one, or gets hurt and is in the hospital. There is something new every single week that we are asked to "donate" for. And they bug you every day if you say no.
We have our spring cook out today. There are sandwiches and sodas and they are setting up "games". But its $20 a person. I said no....you would have thought i told them i murder puppies in my free time.
"What why don't you want to come"
"Eh $20 is kind of a lot i think ill pass"
"But its not about the $20 you get to have fun with your coworkers"
"I will come and not eat and hang out then"
"then just pay the $20"
I always find "things" that come up during these events now. Its so sad but I don't get why people don't understand that i don't want to do this crap. Don't get me wrong if i like the person or they are a direct coworker i will help out. But if i helped with everything it would be $100 or more.
