Employee teases "big reveal," irritated coworker immediately guesses correctly: ‘She stole her own thunder’

This person totally popped his coworker's bubble, but he wasn't exactly intending to! 

Offices tend to be made up of people from many walks of life, including workers of all different ages and backgrounds. This dude has a coworker who can be the life of the party—he reveals that she once brought in paw-print balloons to reveal that she was getting a dog—but that he gets a bit tired of the theatrics. Some people are like that: every little thing gets turned into a dramatic moment. To be fair to her, expectant parents getting pregnant is actually a big deal worth celebrating, and welcoming a new baby into the family changes everything. It's no wonder you'd want to share this with coworker's you're close with, but it's all about moderation (and reading the room). 

Still, in the workplace, it can get a little old to be constantly focused on one team member's personal life instead of the work at hand. Maybe the disappointment from the incident will cause her to reevaluate her relationships with her coworkers. 

Some of this person's coworkers thought he was a bit impolite towards her, and while that's up to interpretation, he didn't exactly do anything wrong, either. He could always play it off as just being an over-eager friend, but chances are, he won't be the first person she goes running to with her next big announcement.
