Woman demands colleague pay $80 for two expiring takeout meals, gets offended when they don’t want to take them: ‘I could tell she was annoyed’

Lunchtime is an important part of the 9-5 office ritual, and how people choose to eat at this time can say a lot about them. There is a hidden divide between those who eat out every day and the religious meal preppers; it reveals a lot about everything from planning skills to money spending patterns.

As a result, the break that employees take to eat can prove to be a real battleground for office politics. As a time (for some, at least) to socialize outside of the confines of working together, it can sometimes wind up being more stressful than the job itself. It can be a game of which table to sit at in the school lunch hall all over again, but this time, potentially even more awkward. With all the other trials and tribulations that come from having a job, realizing that this can be yet another one can come as a surprise.
