Let me tell you about my coworker. I will call her Carol.

We are the only two people in our position who support the massive campus that we work on. That said, we do separate work and the majority of my projects don’t involve her.

The other day, I was meeting with the campus security manager and the regional security manager (he works on campus for some reason). She wasn’t invited to this meeting because she’s not on the committee we were discussing. Within a few minutes, I hear her walking back and forth past my cubicle. Each time she went past my screen wasn’t showing who was on the call. She can’t see my meeting details via my calendar because she only has access to see that I’m unavailable. What does Carol do? Carol barges into my cubicle to hand me a piece of junk mail. Then proceeds to stare at my screen and do this weird growl things she does.

The junk mail in question had been sitting in the inbox all day. As in when I got to work at 7:45am it was sitting there. This meeting was at 1:30pm. So, you’re telling me that you suddenly just had to give this to me at this very moment? Okay, Carol.

I am so tired of being annoyed about this. Do you think this is the first time she has done this exact thing? No. No, it is not. At least 7-10 times this year. Doesn’t sound like a lot, but it is. And I’m on camera every single time!

Bruh, yesterday was it. I went to her cubicle (we don’t sit close together). The following conversation was had.

OP (M): why did you come into my cubicle to give me junk mail?

C: (hella shocked bc I tend to let things slide) because it’s addressed to you.

M: Carol, I need you to stop coming into my cubicle when I’m in a meeting. I was very clearly in a meeting. You’ve done it several times, and I do not like that.

C: snorts incredulously but doesn’t respond

M: Thank you!! (Goes to bathroom)

Nothing is said for the rest of the day. She leaves at 4pm, so it’s not like it was awkward. That was Monday.

She is 61. I am so ready to get away from herrrrrr!

That place used to stay with a line all day. Now, there’s never anyone outside. Google says they’re still open 24/7.

Did I miss something??

Hahahahahaha!

I like so see how much I 💩 so I tend not to flush.

Even in public bathrooms 😈😈

Not sorry!!!!

Hear me out tho.

When Flossie gave Marvin the Jewish sentiment of cherishing a person’s memory instead of being sad, Marvin’s interpretation was off base. He interpreted it as what goes around comes around. Not sure how he got that, but whatever. Her response that she understood that better than he knew was ominous and chilly, imo. Bc wtf kind of response was that? Wouldn’t a normal person correct him?

The thought of Toni and Flossie being related didn’t cross my mind before that point. But what if they are? It would be the most perfect and unsuspecting way to take Marv off the map 👌🏾

Yes, it’s me again. Back with my sensitive nose 😅

This person I’m friends with wants to take me on a road trip.. Our “friendship” is a bit complicated. We work on the same campus and interact quite a bit. Our first time hanging, we went to a Phô restaurant and she got on my nerves. The second time, we went on an adventure to this burger place 3 hours away.

The second time was pretty bad. She proved herself to be high maintenance as hell. Can’t eat sweet foods around her or she gets nauseous. She didn’t put up on gas, however, she had grand plans for me to drive us all over the place.. We had to pull over twice because she got car sick. But she told me that she loves road trips/adventures?? We also found out that we do not enjoy the same type of entertainment. There were long periods of silence. One way she irked me was by spending money left and right, but when we pulled up to the gas station she told me she had maybe $2 to contribute. Which makes sense as to why she made a comment about never going on an adventure with half a tank. There was never a plan to ask her to gas, but wtf. I avoided her for a while after this. We eventually got back cool.

So yeah, she wants to celebrate my recent bday by taking me somewhere random. Anywhere we go will be 2+ hours away. I immediately said yes because fun! But then I remembered how badly she smelled by the end of our 2nd hang. She has the same smell every time she changes out of her uniform. It’s a particular smell. She has a small car and I don’t think I can do it. Then I started ducking and dodging her. She has noticed…….. This is someone I like. I cannot hurt her feelings.

AITA for not being straightforward?

The time would be roughly 5am.

I’m a woman who would be walking alone.

Seward Park seems to be okay, but not sure about GL. Not trying to drive down to Seward every morning.

Thank you for your input!!

Edit: Thanks peeps!
