Is there a stage in our lives when we should stop throwing birthday parties to ourselves? Probably. Birthday parties are overrated, pointless, and most importantly, a cause for drama. It does not mean one should not enjoy their birthday and celebrate the day they were born, but when you are 30 and still get excited about balloons and birthday cakes, drama is surely on the way.

This Reddit story is a good example of that drama, and although I do not think the drama was the fault of the birthday girl, reading this story made me feel like I am back in middle school. OP (original poster) works in an office with one extremely entitled coworker. That coworker was not invited to another coworker's birthday party, simply because she is an unpleasant person to be around, and that led to her confronting the entire office about being excluded. Up until the birthday girl herself flat out told the coworker all the reasons why she failed to invite her to the party.

    I work in a small office, five of us and the boss. We all work from home. One coworker is a real toxic a. e. She is mean, role, condescending and an all around unpleasant person.

    One coworker had her 30th birthday party yesterday. It was one of those painting places where everyone watches the instructor and paints. I had no idea she wasn't invited until this morning.

    She finally asked me why so and so didn't invite her to her party. I told her to ask her, but if she's she wasn't invited, she doesn't get to treat everyone horribly all day.

    She finally confronted the birthday girl who told her "You're mean and hard to be around, and I don't like you. That's why." She's been silent since then, thankfully.

    MissDingusMalingus86 OP. 11 hr. ago Doubt it, but at least she knows now. I mean, she has lost every job she has ever had because of her personality. It's not like she doesn't know, but she needed to hear it said out loud.
