Is Lisa not capable of making her own lunch? Can you imagine being wired in such a way that you genuinely would feel entitled to your coworker’s lunch?! Lisa wasn’t even slightly senior to OP as far as we know, not that it would be ok if she were but we all know how horrible bosses can be.
This thread was posted to Reddit’s r/AmITheA**hole subreddit by u/sxrllyya, who became known for making elaborate lunches and bringing them to the office. Now, as someone whose homemade office lunch is often a sad and empty turkey sandwich, I too would be intrigued by OP’s dedication to making a balanced meal. But I’d never ask for some of it. I’d let OP offer some, and even then, I would feel wrong to take a bite.
Lisa, however, had the audacity to confront OP numerous times over the fact that she never shares her beautiful lunches with her coworkers, as if that were part of her contract or something. If someone were to ever do this to me (not that they would because, obviously, I only make sad and empty turkey sandwiches), I would ask them where in the employee handbook does it say that I am obligated to share my lunch. Thankfully, OP rightfully stood her ground, and apparently, things got heated in the office kitchen, which was probably fun to witness if you were a bystander.
