'[My boss] sent me home for being rude': Employee rejects workplace birthday party, but boss insists

In a divisive post, one employee asked if he was actually the bad guy for spoiling his own workplace birthday party. In the r/AmItheA**hole subreddit, people usually decisively call the OP an a**hole or not. But in this case, commenters are split on the etiquette involved in this dude's scenario.

The OP wrote that he's having a rough few weeks – expensive car troubles, a pounding headache, and because he forgot to take his birthday off work, he had to go in. Once he got there, he felt depressed and wanted to just be left alone. However, his boss and coworkers had different plans. They'd planned a bit of a party for the OP, just your standard "typical corporate birthday celebrations where all of your coworkers watch you receive a cake and a card and clap for you."

He just couldn't muster up the energy to celebrate his birthday in the office. It's the way he went about telling his boss that possibly makes the OP the a**hole here. But overall, it seems like he just didn't handle a difficult situation with enough grace for his boss.

Next, this woman's Facebook followers were treated to an utterly insane post about her wedding woes that left her followers saying she's out of her mind.
