Woman Refuses to Be Doormat Ever Again After Cancelling Wedding Anniversary Plans to Cover Desparate Coworker's Shift Only to Find Out She Just Wanted to Watch a Movie

Welcome, web-surfin' sisters. If you find yourself in a position where you don't have anything in particular planned, and your coworker is begging someone to take their shift, it's probably a good idea to play the role of the Good Samaritan and cover for them. You never know when you'll need to skip out on a future shift, and it's a pretty good bet that someone you've helped before will be more willing to return the favor. However, unless a coworker is literally having some sort of valid medical or family emergency, you shouldn't go out of your way to cancel your own plans to cover their shift.

In our story today, our protagonist actually postpones her own anniversary celebration plans to help out her distressed coworker only to find out later that the important event that she had to skip work for was just her annual re-watch of The Nightmare Before Christmas. Our protagonist took to the internet to vent her anger and was met by mixed reactions by internet commenters. On one hand, her coworker's reason for missing work was selfish and ridiculous, and on the other, our protagonist should've pried for a bit more information before calling off an event that she had been planning for months. Get all the details down below.
