Safety-conscious runner refuses any future runs with coworker, after she mocks her nighttime visibility gear in the work group chat, despite learning that she wears it as precautionary measures from past accident: 'Lit up like a Christmas tree'

If you're going to ask a favor of someone, we recommend not criticizing how they do said favor…If you ask someone to buy you a cookie, you're not going to question why they're paying with a card, not cash. If you've asked to lend someone's book, you're not going to question why the corners are bent or the page slightly faded…So why in the world, if you ask someone to help get you into running, would you criticize everything they're wearing on the run… especially when it's a safety precaution? 

Either they're tone-deaf or just blatantly mean…however, neither is an appropriate excuse. This woman was asked if her coworker could join in on her nightly running workouts, and as the kind woman she is, she said absolutely. But when they met for that first night run, her coworker gave up in seconds, claiming she couldn't run next to her out of embarrassment. Referring to the woman's nighttime visibility gear. She explained that due to a prior incident, she felt safer running in the gear…But her coworker ignored her reasoning, claimed 'embarrassment', and even went on to make remarks about it on their work group chat…Real classy.
