Is this the thread's second banana bread argument or can we consider this a natural extension of the last one?

mystes posted:Perhaps it would have been less weird if she had just brought banana bread to lunch and offered him a slice rather than finding his desk and showing up to say "I baked you a whole unsolicited loaf of banana bread"? Not sure if you've ever baked banana bread but it's a LOT easier to whip up 3-4 loaves than just one. Having excess banana/zucchini/pumpkin/etc. bread is very normal.

Also, if he had already inadvertently given her the impression that he was flirting with her, she was probably going to be unhappy regardless, so maybe it's better that she's pissed just at him now for not accepting the banana bread rather than being more upset laterDesert Bus posted:Not sure if you've ever baked banana bread but it's a LOT easier to whip up 3-4 loaves than just one.

Absolutely a crime that there's no clips of Carol's sharing banana bread with her coworker fantasies from Carol vs The End of the World. Death by Banana Bread. Let's get that on t-shirts!!

Some truly bozo-tier opinions on display here, we got both "coworker is being nice, she DEFINITELY wants to gently caress you" and "you are socially obligated to eat everything put before you, like the hog that you are". Incredible work, everyone.

It gets much better, I kinda think it should've been like 4x long episodes but people don't expect prestige TV lengths from cartoons so ofc not. She ends up getting a job at a corporation called The Distraction and spends her remaining time figuring out how to get to know her coworkers. There's a whole episode about banana bread building bridges. But her expectations vs reality are very different. StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Mar 5, 2024 |

It sounds like he navigated it fine. She's no longer bothering him and will hopefully give the banana bread to someone who likes banana bread.

How about more inheritance drama? AITA for not disclosing my will? quote:I (58m) was recently diagnosed with a terminal condition. Won’t get into details, but it was the classical “went in with a paper cut, got out with AIDSCancer2000” situation. I’ve got roughly a year and a half left. Obviously people can leave their poo poo to whoever they want to, but lol at OP for valuing his family legacy so highly while he neglected the kids who had any other caregivers. Oh, the children you were forced to take in are the only ones who care about preserving your traditions? How shocking! Of course leaving the business 50/50 is probably going to destroy it anyway the first time those siblings disagree, even assuming that one or both of them aren't quietly planning to sell as soon as possible.

All she would have done to make this not weird would have been to tell him the day before at lunch "I'm going to bake a bunch of loaves of banana bread tonight; do you want one?" instead of freaking out when she suddenly showed up to give him an unsolicited gift and he declined because he doesn't like banana bread. mystes fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Mar 5, 2024 |

Yes asking where someone's desk is and making them a gift is a normal thing people do for friends I can't believe I have to explain this to adults.

mystes posted:Do you think that the coworker who spent hours (according to her) making banana bread with no idea whether he likes banana bread, tracked down his desk, and showed up and tried to give it to him, and then got mad when he said he doesn't like banana bread because he had spent hours making it is "successfully navigating social situations"? Yeah, she didn't really do anything wrong other than fail to hide her disgust at this guy. She obviously likes him and he hurt her, so she got mad. Honestly, calling this guy out, to me, is perfectly fine. She would also be fine to just walk away realizing she dodged a tactless bullet. What grown rear end person doesn't know how to graciously accept a gift they do not like.

Also, depending on where you work, calling someone an rear end in a top hat because they politely turned down an unsolicited gift is something a manager and/or HR would want to know about.

Nobody is even asking the important question: did the banana bread have nuts in it? If it did, he was right to refuse it because it was garbage. If it did not, he should have accepted it due to its inherent quality. Then he should have put peanut butter on it because it is both logically inconsistent and loving delicious.

If the OP's post had been about how he sat with this lady once at lunch, but then decided he didn't have a fun time conversing but she kept sitting with him and how he was trying to get away from her, and then she showed up at his desk with unwanted baked goods, I'd have more sympathy. But he sat with her and they continued chatting every day at lunch and by all accounts she probably started to consider him a friend, and he doesn't sound like he was creeped out by her or anything. So she's happy she made a friend at work and went and made some banana bread (which, yeah, doesn't take hours to make lol). I think he could have probably handled it better by accepting it graciously and then giving it away to some coworkers or something. She probably could have handed it over to him at lunch (although they work at the same company so I don't think it's that weird that she found his desk to make a cute surprise or whatever).
