People come up with the craziest excuses to have a party. And hey, I'm usually all for it. Your favorite artist is putting out a new album? Yeah, let's get the bros together and make some themed appetizers. You just got a promotion at work? Heck yes, take us out to dinner, and let's have champagne. Your dog finally learned how to roll over on command? Let's rent a tent, hire some caterers, and dance all night. It doesn't really matter what the party is for, just that everyone is having fun. But the key thing about a good party is that they don't require anything out of their guests. If you're throwing a frivolous event, you have to provide everything. Those are the rules.

That's not what happened to one office worker who was asked to provide desserts for an event that's definitely not on the usual rotation of holidays. Read on for the story and decide if her reaction was justified.
