Vegan Employee Refuses To Eat Suspicious Cake, Coworker Makes A Big Scene And Starts Crying

Leona Martinez

Office life is full of hidden problems, as exemplified by the story of the Redditor called u/lorande9 and their coworker, Bea. The OP is a vegan, and their coworker loves making jokes about it. Bea keeps making fun of the OP and even offers them food with animal stuff in it, saying it's vegan. It's annoying, and other people told Bea to stop, but she keeps doing it.

In a recent incident, the coworker brought a homemade birthday cake to the office to celebrate and generously gave the OP a slice. Although Bea said the cake was vegan, the OP refused to eat it because it might have milk or eggs. When the OP asked about the ingredients and found out the cake was not really vegan, Bea got upset and made a big scene, crying and saying the OP ruined her birthday. The OP's boss chimed in, suggesting that the OP should have given the cake a chance because it was Bea's birthday.

Was the OP wrong? Feel free to share your thoughts and perspectives by engaging in the comments section below.

We need to emphasize this: "I also feel like I don't need to justify my food choices to anyone"
