'Don't sing Happy Birthday to me: Steamrolling employee intentionally embarrasses her coworker, gets put in her place and publicly shamed by HR

We all have that ONE coworker… you know, the one who likes to push everyone's buttons, gets on everyone's nerves and seems like they intentionally dance on a razor's edge over HR technicalities. They're entitled as heckin' heck and it's as if their agenda and opinions are the only ones that matter in the workplace. I like to call this type of person an 'extroverted steamroller'. 

Obnoxious and nosy, the extrovert steamroller types are hard to rein in, especially if you're the kind of worker who likes to keep a low profile. The best thing you can do with those kinds of people is lay low, set your boundaries, and wait for a slip-up big enough to take them down–which is exactly what the enraged Redditor in this next story did. 

If you're not a birthday person, you're not a birthday person. No amount of singing, cake, or candles will ever change your opinion over birthdays, and while every year 'your day' rolls along, some people just like to be kept well-alone on their day–it's personal, get lost. But when u/ Bosuns_Punch's birthday came along in the workplace, he thought that he had successfully flown under the radar of his extroverted steamroller coworker, but he was sorely mistaken. 

Keep scrolling for the birthday song and public embarrassment that led to the demise of one of the most obnoxious coworkers, effectively quieting her need for attention and allowing an employee some well-deserved peace in the workplace.
