I don't do office potlucks and haven't for sometime. Today, supervisor and another employee (who suggested it) came around and said they want to have a potluck. I said I don't do potlucks, which supervisor knows, and said it will be salads and soups. I again said I don't do potlucks. The other person's asked "why?" And followed up with "just bring yourself then".

I also don't join these lunch activities. My unpaid lunch is to get out of office and away from coworkers for a blissful, relaxing 1 hour!

I don't understand why people don't understand why someone doesn't want to participate. I don't want to and don't want have to explain.

Just venting, thanks for listening (reading lol)
