Needing Snacks For This Funday Afternoon

 


 I used to work at an office job, where I loved my coworkers and the work I did. I kept the kitchen stocked with all sorts of snacks, out of my own pocket, just to show appreciation. I ended up being laid off after a couple of years due to downsizing.

Months after I left, an old coworker messaged me on social media.

Old Coworker: “Hey, [My Name], the snacks are getting low.”

Me: “Um, is this for [Company]?”

Old Coworker: “Yeah, you’re the one that kept them filled, aren’t you?”

Me: “Yeah, but I don’t work there anymore.”

Old Coworker: “Okay, but you’re the snack guy. Can you order delivery for us or something?”

Me: “Dude, I’m not spending my money on snacks for a team I don’t work with anymore. Ask [Human Resources Person] or something.”

He kept begging me to buy food for the company, so I ended up having to block him.

Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.
