I am really annoyed with my coworkers

We celebrate everyone's birthday.  Usually 2 or 3 people who are close to the person whose bday it is makes cupcakes or brings in ice cream or whatever.  

There are 4 people I work closely with.  1 of them is having a really hard time, she found out last weekend her long time bf has been cheating on her and she moved back in with her mom.  It's her bday today.  She does not like sweet things, she prefers salty.  

So I said to my coworkers lets do chips and dip since D does not like sweet things.  Everyone is all okay, great.  1 girl is going to get chips and 4 of us are going to make dips.  

I have been away since Thursday at 10 AM.  I got back into town at 3PM yesterday and in addition to unpacking, laundry etc I went to the store and bought supplies to make dip.  Then I went home and made said dip. 

I come into work today and thank goodness 1 of my coworkers is reliable because we have chips to go with the dip I made.  Another coworker forgot.  She was "out of town and got back later then anticipated."  The other 2 coworkers decided instead of dip they were going to make brownies and and apple pie.  Well that's awesome except coworker who's bday it is DOES.NOT.LIKE. sweet stuff.  And poor coworker who was in charge of chips bought SEVEN bags of chips because she was under the impression she was buying enough chips for FOUR dips.

WHY couldn't you people just do what we talked about?

    Coworkers suck today!! You had a great idea. That sucks that people didn't do what they were supposed too.

    My coworker seems to do little passive aggressive shit that annoys me. I say seems b/c I'm not sure if she is doing it on purpose. I might blow up on her soon!

     

  • B00!  That would have been an awesome bday!

    AKA they stopped at the store on the way to work and couldn't find a good dip.

  • Did your coworker enjoy her birthday treats?

    Or they were in the mood for brownies and pie.
