I (29f) am working in an office and I have a colleague Bea, who routinely makes fun of vegans. I am vegan and i never make a fuss about food, i go to the same restaurants as my coworkers during lunch hour and i can always find myself something to eat without announcing my dietary choices.

She said the cake is vegan and she made it specifically so i could eat it, but knowing her very loose definition of vegan i asked a few questions about the ingredients and she didnt check any of them for milk or eggs, so I thanked her again but refused the slice. She made a big scene out of it, she started crying and saying s

I sort of see his point, but i also feel like i dont need to justify my food choices to anyone and i never asked her to make the cake vegan for me. ΑΙΤΑ?

You didn't hurt her. You didn't yell and swear and damn her to the deepest pit of Hell. Your boss is only going at you because the boss thinks it's easier to make you bend than to deal with your coworker's tantrums.

In fact why is your boss saying that you should have given the cake the benefit of of the doubt. No one at work should be pressured to eat anything.

Wow. 9.2k Reply Share in-a-sense-lost - 18h Asshle Enthusiast [7] She made it SPECIAL! She's butthurt because she was unable to trick OP into eating it, this depriving her of her birthday treat: smugly informing OP that the delicious cake they loooooved was delicious because it contained eggs.

    Font - Radiant_Cat618 - 21h Assl e Aficionado [10] NTA - she's clearly and repeatedly shown that she doesn't respect your dietary choices. Her cake was probably as vegan as a bacon cheeseburger. You politely refused. Your boss needs to take several seats as it's completely inappropriate for him to comment on what you eat or don't eat. He needs to talk to Bea about her bullying and harassing you over food.
