Let's not mix up the facts here, she is a filthy cheater. That said, regarding her coworker, anyone who cares this much about an office chili cook-off may not have their priorities in order. It seems like no one here is that great of a person, but such it is in the cut-throat world of office chili cook-offs. For some office stuff, here's a twitter thread about an umbrella that locked out an entire company for days, and here are funny office notes.

    Cooking - Maggie Vespa KGw @Maggie_Vespa Follow I'd like to tell a story about the annual(ish) @KGWNews chili cook-off. It's happening today, and I came prepared. Sort of. Hence the story. 11:45 AM - 13 Nov 2019 >

    Text - Maggie Vespa KGW @Maggie_Vespa Follow A few years ago, still a nervous cub reporter here, I vowed to participate in the newsroom chili-bowl, scheduled for a Wednesday. Late Tuesday night, I realized I'd completely forgotten said vow, prompting a panicked sprint to Trader Joe's Maggie Vespa News Department KGW8 1145 AM 13 Nov 2019

    Text - Maggie Vespa KGW @Maggie_Vespa Follow Vital to know: I'm not a good cook. I have a few impressive dishes in my arsenal, but that's it. Blue Apron was a big deal for me, but I even quit that because Netflix. BOILWATER WHAT AM IA CHEMIST? GIF 11:45 AM - 13 Nov 2019

    Font - Maggie Vespa KGW @Maggie_Vespa Follow So what did I do that nervous night? I bought 6 cans of pre-made chili, dumped them into a (borrowed) crock pot & lied to my coworkers about how it came to be. Awesome plan. All was going great. I was in the clear. Enter... this monster (who declined to comment for this thread) 11:45 AM 13 Nov 2019

    Text - Maggie Vespa KGW @Maggie_Vespa Follow In a weak moment, I confided in @jtierney6 & a few others that my "homemade" contribution was anything but. They laughed but didn't make a big deal of it... until ppl really started to like my chili. It was a hit. Even @ChicagoJoeWGN (RIP Joe) texted me asking for the recipe. 11:45 AM - 13 Nov 2019

    Text - Maggie Vespa KGW @Maggie_Vespa Follow Now, none of that is the monster's fault. But let's be clear: he was not happy. He had dragged his poor wife to multiple grocery stores the night before, searching for "the right kind of turkey".. yet no one was singing his praises. No one was texting for his recipe. Sad! 11:45 AM - 13 Nov 2019

    Text - Maggie Vespa KGWw @Maggie_Vespa Follow So what did John do? He exposed my fraud. Loudly. Angrily. Under the guise of transparency & integrity (spare me). He even made a sarcastic "chilli cook-off winner" certificate (which I may or may not have "lost") & tacked it up near my desk. My good name? Destroyed. GIF 11:45 AM - 13 Nov 2019

    Food - Maggie Vespa KGW @Maggie_Vespa Follow Cut to KGW chili cook-off, 2019 I, the girl who loudly & virally defended her pants on live TV, am not about to be shamed out of my canned existence. So once again, I dumped 6 rounds of Trader Joe's pre-made finest into my (now owned! baby steps) crockpot & brought it in. 11:45 AM 13 Nov 2019
