Chronically unreliable coworker calls her colleague mid‑vacation, demanding a ride home from work, and gets blocked immediately: ‘She wanted my sister to drop everything, drive all the way to work, pick her up, and take her home!’

  • Woman looks frustrated while holding a phone and gesturing during a conversation
  • A few years ago, my sister was a receptionist. A lady started who complained about everything.
  • She would miss work and always have some excuse. She would complain when my sister took any time off.
  • She never gad a ride home, always wanted to leave early, etc etc Anyway, we flew in from out of state to visit my sister.
  • Sister took a week of to be with us. Coworker complained about sister's vacation from the minute she heard about it.
  • Woman looks surprised while gesturing with one hand against a white brick wall
  • Whined that she wished she could have vacation (even though she already took days off). While sister and I were out to lunch one day, her phone rings.
  • She sees it is rhe coworker and sent it to voicemail. Sister put the voicemail on speaker for both of us to listen.
  • It was coworker complaining she did not feel well. She wanted my sister to drop everything, drive all the way to work, pick her up and take her home!
  • I wouldn't doubt it if coworker also expected her to drive back to work and fill in for her for the rest of the day.
  • Probably rest of the week. Sister didn't even bother to answer. She just blocked her number and we went on with our visit.
  • No-BSing-Here Did this woman think think your sister was a taxi? That's an amazing example of entitlement. And I bet she wanted your sister to fill on for her, too!
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply She also knew I was in town with my young child and that we hadn't seen each other in person in a couple years!
  • Many_Swordfish_5207 OMG Your sister didn't tell you what happened when she went back? If the coworker had a meltdown she was blocked or had to work the entire time she was on vacation? Did this lady ever get fired? The story is a gold mine for gossip keep it coming. lol >
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply The lady continued to be like that, taking time off claiming to he sick and even claimed to be in the hospital. Her work never filed anything that my sister knows of because this woman knew how to work the system and would cry discrimination any time things didn't go her way. She got pregnant with a baby who was not her live in boyfriend's kid and managed to somehow go on dis lity because of it.
  • KnownMagician3084 Worked in a hospital. Maternity leave had escalated from 6 weeks to 3 months. People worked holidays. We were lucky and could get 1 of the big three off. One of new coworkers let it slip they'd tried to time her pregnancy so she was off Thanksgiving through New Year's. So that ripped someone off for 2 holidays.
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply I unintentionally did that. Except it didn't affect anyone else. My baby was born Nov 6th. Six weeks took me almost all the way to the Christmas shutdown. I would have had to go back for one day, but i managed to get PTO that day.
  • Crazy-Eagle Nah. Just a logical decision. A smart one would have been to answer and say "Sure, I am on my way" then block her number.
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply No. Because the coworker would have somehow managed to get my sister in trouble for that. Not worth it.
  • According-Alps5644 Glad your sister blocked her. Good for her. However, she needs to report coworker to HR when she gets back to work and let everyone know that your sister is not responsible for anyone getting to and from work. That's not her job and she is not a car service.
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply This was years ago and that coworker managed to go on dis ility not long after that
  • Crazy-Eagle May I ask how? Do you think that type of person would record her calls? She would have left work or got ready to leave, telling someone there that she is covered but then noone would have come for her. What then? Call your sister? Number blocked. Tell the higher ups about it? Her words against your sister's who wasn't scheduled to work. A red flag for your sister's co-worker in the eyes of whoever is in charge at your sister's workplace. Drama after that with the coworker? So what? T
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply They already sided with coworker many times when she started trouble with many people. She was the golden child. She could do no wrong. Not worth it.
  • Crazy-Eagle Ah. In that case it would take a bit more for the "golden" leech to get fired but still doable. Not worth it for those who prefer a workplace without drama.
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply She ended up managing to go on dis ility. And my sister has now long since left that office
  • Tricky_Orange_4526 i'm tired of Al stories on reddit
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply So am I. What does that have to do with this one?
  • Tricky_Orange_4526 >She never gad a ride home literally reads like poorly optimized chat gpt story writing that's frequent on this sub. if its legit, im sorry, but it sure doesn't read like a real post. but props on actually responding. 90% of the time i put comments like that and there's no OP response, confirming when its ΑΙ
  • crazy-when-sober Original Poster's Reply Typos happen. And completely real.
  • Samarchuleta516 I would've turned her into HR for harassment on that
