Coworker demands a $500 loan from a colleague’s tax refund for her Cancun vacation, gets offended and starts office gossip when refused: ‘Bestie, that refund is already spent on adult responsibilities, not funding your trip to Cancun’

Most people feel happy, relieved, and pleasantly surprised when they receive a tax refund, even though it's essentially their own money being returned. But in this woman's case, it isn't about her or her feelings; it's about her coworker's sense of entitlement and overall delusion.

Because when you happen to work alongside a colleague so deranged, your personal finances become public property, and your cubicle transforms into the branch office of Bank of You. For this unsuspecting employee, a modest windfall became office legend, and her desk neighbor wasted no time in treating her like the company's unofficial loan officer. The logic was as bold as it was baffling: you got money back from the government, so clearly you're now responsible for funding someone else's vacation plans.

When the request for a $500 loan landed, it came wrapped in that special brand of entitlement reserved for people who think "we're friends" is a valid line of credit. The refusal was met with dramatic sighs, whispered accusations of greed, and a campaign to paint the responsible adult as the villain for not subsidizing a Cancun getaway. Paying rent and planning for a security deposit is just selfishness in disguise, and the real mark of friendship is how quickly you'll part with your refund.
