How do you feel about spoilers? Some people actually enjoy having things spoiled for them. My sister, for example, will start watching a film, skip over to the last five minutes to see what happens, and then go back and watch the rest of the movie. Then there are some people, who hate spoilers with every single cell in their bodies, people who will legitimately end a friendship over someone spoiling a beloved TV show, movie, or book. I am one of those people.

So believe me when I say, I am not writing this next sentence lightly. This woman in this Reddit story deserved to have her favorite book spoiled. A worker in a mail room shared a story to Reddit about her extremely rude and horrible co-worker. She had to sit next to this co-worker every day and hear her say the most unbelievable things about customers and other employees. Until one day she had enough and maliciously planned a way in which she would reveal a massive spoiler of the Harry Potter books while her co-worker listened (This happened just when the sixth book came out).

    TW: I don't think this is required as the book is nearly 20 years old, but Harry Potter spoiler for anyone who is young / reads at the pace of a snail.

    I worked in the mail room of a bank in 2005. I say mail room, it was a section of the office floor that was surrounded by baffle boards to make an area we could sort mail in. Side note: the best part of the job was stacking the mail onto a little trolley and delivering it

    Brenda was horrible. She has zero empathy and would refuse to budge to help people who were going through financial difficulties (I get that there is a limit to what you can do, but she seemed to relish the pain of people) and had a major attitude problem. The

    having such a pack of a son!' - you get the picture; a garbage human. Now about me. I was a huge Harry Potter nerd. Went to get the books at midnight on release date type person. I also, would stay up all night after the release and finish the book before I went to sleep.

    One day, just after the release of Half- Blood Prince, which I had finished, Brenda was telling her colleagues how much she was loving the book and that she couldn't wait to finish. She wasn't far into it from what she was saying.

    I emailed my friend who worked in Mortgages, who was also a HP nerd and thought Brenda was a k. I explained and he practically ran to my desk. We waited for her to finish on a call with a customer, then started loudly gushing about how shocked,

    She went mental. She came round and glared at us but there was all else she could do. She still continued being a dok but I got lots of satisfaction from that encounter.
