Chapter 1: What is the first office horror story about?
Ja, das war wirklich hart. Offices, Workspaces, Co-Workers, das ist es, mit dem wir uns heute beschäftigen.
Das ist lustig. Du zwei bist wie einige meiner Lieblings-Co-Workers.
Yeah. Wow. I had to rank coworkers. Yeah, you'd be a top three right here. Yeah. Everybody knows that. Cool. That's settled.
Now that we got that out of the way.
Now that we're done with that. In front of a bunch of other coworkers of ours. Okay, it's kooky energy today. Alright, our first story. Am I the asshole for telling my coworker I can't attend her funeral because I'm busy that day? What? So here's the situation.
He can commune with the dead.
Yeah, my dead coworker. So here's the situation. I have this coworker, let's call her Karen. Karen is a character. She's always talking about these elaborate plans for every possible scenario. Last week she told us she had pre-planned her entire funeral, complete with a guest list, catering, and even a DJ. Apparently she wants her final send-off to be a lit celebration of life.
Anyway, out of the blue yesterday, Karen walks up to me during lunch and says, Hey, just so you know, I've penciled you in for my funeral next Saturday at 2pm. It's going to be fabulous and I'd really appreciate your attendance. So here's the thing. I'm alive and kicking, so the idea of attending a funeral for someone who's very much alive just felt weird.
Plus, I already have plans next Saturday to binge watch an entire season of Stranger Things and eat my weight in pizza. So without really thinking, I just blurted out, sorry Karen, I can't make it, I'm busy that day. She looked at me like I just slapped her with a cold fish. Busy, she asked, her voice dripping with disbelief. You can't be too busy for a friend's funeral.

Chapter 2: What happens when a coworker invites you to their preemptive funeral?
But ours was justified. It was like, here's a joke machine.
Chapter 3: Is it okay to take leftovers from a work party?
Like, here's a roast.
And it's a theme. Und es ist gut, und man kann es einfach klicken.
Es gibt auch eine Unterschiede zwischen einem Feierabend-Themen-Party und meinem präemptiven Feierabend. Weil es zu sagen, hey, ich habe ein Feierabend dieses Wochenende und es ist ein Feierabend-Thema, ist eine Sache. Es ist, hey, ich habe mein Feierabend, um mein Leben zu feiern. Es ist so, okay. Und es ist nicht mal an ihrem Geburtstag, das klingt nicht so. Ja.
Es ist einfach so, dass ich mir eine Party anzeige, bei der alle mich feiern werden. Und es ist einfach... Es gibt ein paar weitere Läufer da.
Ich habe noch nie mehr von dem erwähnt, was ich sagen wollte. Ich glaube, alle Partys sind eine Feier der Leben.
Hey, hey, hey. Manchmal fühle ich Druck, in die Arbeit zu gehen. Ich kann mich daran erinnern, als sie gesagt haben, hey, Spencer, wir brauchen dich heute, weil du heute in den Filmen bist. Es ist wie diese unfreie Druck, die... What if I don't feel like going? It's just not, it's like, it's kind of like, it feels a little invasive.
And it's like, you know, I should show up and like, you know, I should show up and be like, you know what, you're narcissistic, you're like self-serving.
Like, look at you just asking me to show up and you don't know what's going on with me.
Like, you don't know what I'm going through. Exactly. I was up late. I had to squeeze in a shower this morning. You don't know what I'm going through. You want me here at 8.30 in the morning? I was supposed to be here at 8. I showed up at 8.20 and I'm sorry.

Chapter 4: What are the expectations for celebrations in the workplace?
Wenn du die Office Worm wärst. Hier geht's. Ich habe in dieser Firma drei Jahre gearbeitet. Mein dreijähriges Geburtstag landete am selben Tag, als meine bedeutenden anderen es vorstellten. Und um es zu beenden, werde ich promoten. Ich erwartete zumindest etwas von meinen Co-Arbeitern, wie eine kleine Party oder ein Geschenk. Nichts Fantastisches. Dude, if I expected a dude... What?
I'm like, hey, everything's going awesome in my life. I was expecting people to, you know, kind of throw a party for me for that.
Nothing fancy.
I won the lottery and nobody threw a party for me.
Just nothing fancy or anything. Dude, I'm sorry. I could not give less of you fuck about a work anniversary.
No, what I care less about is your LA anniversary. Wenn Leute sagen, ich bin in L.A. seit sechs Jahren. Entschuldigung, wahrscheinlich hat jeder das gemacht. Ich verstehe es nicht.
Antworten mit, das tut weh, Mann.
Cool, du bist in dieser Stadt so lange.
Ja, und du hast es noch nicht geschafft.

Chapter 5: How do coworkers handle personal events?
Ja. Und ich denke, Luke ist sehr gut daran, aber wenn du Leftovers nimmst, dann fragst du zumindest vorher. Oder wenn alle packen und gehen, dann nimm es. Ich weiß nicht. Ich denke, was sie für einen Arschloch macht, ist ihre Perspektive. Es ist schwer für mich, ich kümmere mich nicht um die Aktionen, wenn du es so ausgibst.
Ich kann es nicht übersetzen, wie er es geschrieben hat.
Ja. Einige Kommentare. OP, you are not owed anything. I have the most wonderful team at work and we're all very close and work well together. Not one of them knows my work anniversary, nor would I expect them to. The only reason the date is relevant to me is because that's the date I asked my supervisor for my annual review and hopefully a raise. You've been at your job for three years? Big whoop.
Congrats on all your other achievements you mentioned, but you're extremely entitled and you don't expect more of people. You expect absolute nonsense from people that no one would usually think of. You're the asshole. Someone said, you're the asshole. How old are you?
Your co-workers, or soon-to-be employees, as you put it, do not owe you a party because you worked at a company for three years, or the fact that you got promoted, or the fact that you got engaged, period. Also, I hate you. Also, you're dumb.
Also, lawyer up, because your wife is cheating on you.
Also, your wife is cheating. I'm not going to your preemptive funeral.
And check her phone. White people did pop off with big whoop.
Big whoop is good. Big whoop is good. Big whoop, dude. It's something that co-workers do if they feel like it and not because they feel obligated to. The fact that none of them wanted to until you cried to your boyfriend speaks volumes of how they feel about you on an interpersonal level. You might want to sink in for a bit.

Chapter 6: What are the consequences of not attending a coworker's personal event?
I try to make all my employees feel special and celebrate their achievements so I had more expectations out of them than I should have. That was my mistake. My mistake was having expectations that you would perform. That update's probably gone well. Sick.
I love an update starting with stop!
Stop it!
Stop!
No, I love when you tell the internet to stop.
Yeah.
Because it always works. It will, yeah. The internet will actually listen to you and they'll be like, oh guys, we need to stop hating.
Literally stop thinking I did that. I didn't.
There's no better way to get just ruined on the internet than to tell people to stop. It's just the worst thing you can say. Well, she sucks. Amen. There you go. This next one comes from True Off My Chest. My coworker is a totally normal person and he fascinates me.

Chapter 7: Is it appropriate to pressure coworkers for personal celebrations?
I was gonna say, it feels like a newer trend where it's like, oh, we're gonna do our honeymoon way later.
It's like so old-fashioned to be like, okay, tomorrow they get on a plane.
Yeah. Bro, I just saw you. I was hanging out like all day.
Literally. Yeah, I don't see the problem with... It's kind of crazy to have a full wedding and then go on a vacation the next day. Und die Leute haben das nicht mehr gemacht, weil es einfach verrückt ist.
Ja, es ist so, dass du es machen willst, wenn du ein Geburtstag und eine Weihnachtszeit planst, das klingt wie ein Schmerz an mir, aber das ist ein ganz anderes.
Ja, nein, du kannst jemanden nicht fordern, seinen PTO zu geben.
Ja, und es war, es war sie, es war sie, die sofort umgekehrt und ihn seltsam genannt hat oder schnell danach, ihn seltsam genannt hat oder sie seltsam.
That's what's also weird about this work's way of getting time off, is that everyone's time belongs to themselves. You shouldn't have to ask for your time. It's just a breach of privacy to be like, I need your free time for my free time. It shouldn't add up like that.
Yeah, and I don't know the work situation that they're in, if it's like, they go to the HR or the boss and ask for like, is there something we can do about this situation so I can get this time off?
