    Crazy coworker expects me to pay for her food... My coworker basically had to leave the restaurant and go get her wallet, go back to the restaurant, and pay because I lied and told her I didn't have my wallet. For some context, this coworker makes less than I do but not a lot less, every time we go to breakfast or lunch she "left her wallet" somewhere new. I have paid before, and I'll then have to send her a venmo request which she sends back days or weeks later, sometimes I have forgotten,

    and she has gotten away with it. I started to notice this and today she asked me if I wanted to go get breakfast with her, I told her I'd go with her but had already had breakfast. Of course when we sit down she says OMG I forgot my wallet and I said omg me too lol. I tell her go get it from the car and she says she'll try apple pay. She eats and when time to pay comes she asks if they use apple pay and they don't. I'm a very over-prepared person and was embarrassed that she waited til she ate t

    The place let her come back a little later to pay since we showed them where we worked on the block. The whole way back to work she went on about how embarrassing that was and said to me "You never have your wallet when I need it"... to which I was so confused. THE SHEER AUDACITY. I said "Excuse me? I always have my wallet or a form of payment which is why we have been here before and I've paid for you and its crazy to say that to me when you never have your wallet and when I didn't eat" and she

We basically just make sure the satellite office doesn't fall apart and get whatever our boss needs, collect the mail etc. Soooo we have A LOT of downtime, we don't even have to answer phones so we go to breakfast at a cafe nearby pretty often sin

    Update: My mooching coworker who would ask me to pay for her food got fired!! OG Post: Crazy coworker expects me to pay for her food...: coworkerstories (reddit.com) She got fired over the weekend because she sent an email to the wrong client enclosing a bunch of confidential agreements. This is not the first time she's gotten reprimanded before, so I was not surprised since she and I both knew she was on thin ice with my boss.

    The most shocking part to me was that she immediately blocked me on all social media/texts as soon as she left, even though I stayed cordial with her since the last time we went to eat and wrote the post.

    So I definitely feel like even more of an idiot than I felt after the wallet comment. Can't believe I trusted someone for four years who was waiting for any second to remove me from her life. Let this be your reminder that coworkers are not friends.

    . razcalnikov 1 day ago What's the mooching backstory? She probably removed everyone out of embarrassment more than anything tbh. But yes, coworkers are never friends. A really hard lesson we all have to learn. 60 Reply Share

    AlfalfaNo4405 - 21 hr. ago I just read your original post and I'm infuriated for you and cracking up at her audacity. Omg. Just be glad the trash took itself out and you don't have to deal with her nonsense anymore. Hope she doesn't unblock you looking for a reference!
