Co-Worker Tells Others To Ignore This Woman’s Birthday, So She Gets Revenge By Buying Cupcakes

ADVERTISEMENT

Birthdays are the only time of the year when you get a chance to feel truly special. Even though some enjoy a bit of privacy, others like to be treated like royals during their day of the year. And it’s totally understandable, we should all put at least the tiniest amount of effort to wish our friends and co-workers a Happy Birthday, after all a little bit of love can make a huge difference!

Recently, one Imgur user shared a story about how nobody at work wished her Happy Birthday

People quickly jumped to suggest she should throw a party herself

After reading the comments she decided to take some action

“Friday some women in another department heard what happened and went all out for me. I came into a decorate cube, flowers, cupcakes, cheesecake, candy, wine, and balloons. They wanted to make sure I had a good birthday”, AppleDarling told Bored Panda.

“As for the female co-worker, I think she felt bad after it all became apparent. Today she brought me hotchocolate and pepermint shnoops.”

“At first I got more paranoid my co-workers would see the story. After I calmed down I was super happy so many people were so supportive. Helps me believe in people a bit more. “

Wait. This is work, right? Not grammar school? Why on EARTH is any of this awkward weird and who even cares? Adult! Bring in your own damn cupcakes or don't. Just get the frack all out if your head about it. It. Doesn't. Matter. This is work. You're there to WORK. These people are not your friends. NONE of them need to throw you a party, and you owe them and they owe you nothing but respect. Period.

I've never worked anywhere that birthdays were a thing. You might wish a fellow worker happy birthday if the subject came up. I'm pretty sure none of us were traumatized by it. The last birthday cupcake I had was in third or fourth grade. I guess I didn't realize I was being victimized.

In my company, we just organise a mini cake party near the end of each month to celebrate together the birthdays of everyone who had a birthday that month.
