I am sick and tired of asking people in my office if they want something to eat for lunch (of course they always do!) and when they go out they NEVER EVER ask! Most times, they will just walk back in with lunch for a select group of people (today being one of those times) and take over the conference room and eat. NEVER asking if anyone else wanted anything. IT'S REALLY FRIGGIN ANNOYING!!!!!!!!!!

K- thanks for letting me vent.

spit in their order next time.

Quit asking.

Simple as that. I did.

you should never have had to ask...your every need and desire should be catered...you must work for some playa haters...believe me, they are only jealous of your hottness...trust me, i have to deal with it wherever i go.

Move to California. When people piss you off, you can visit the beach and beat up a hippie.

What type of job do you have or at what capacity do you work with these "jerks"?

When I would step out to grab some food, I would offer if I know a coworker is stuck there to answer phones or the like, but I do not walk around and ask others for their orders.

In the Navy we had a saying - NAVY = Never Again Volunteer Yourself.

If you do more then your expected, pretty soon your expected to do more.

it's called an eye dropper and urine. less destructive than going going postal, the heat kills any bacteria that might be in their drinks, but it just tastes a bit salty and strange. you can also add alchohol to their sodas, then when the boss passes by, smells gin, vodka, etc, notices something a tad strange.

for an uber sensitive dude, this is rather malicious advice.

Here's a thought...Lower YOUR expectations.  The problem is not them, it's you.  You're performing a nice gesture, but you expect something in return (like them asking you if you want something when they go out).  When they don't meet YOUR secret expectations, YOU get disappointed.  Disappointment naturally leads to anger if we brood on it, then that anger will eventually turn to resentment.  In the end, you'll stop doing things for them and feel that they've somehow betrayed you or never appreciated your kindness.  This happens in relationships all the time. 

While you sit there and fume over what that "no-good, blankity blank blank piece of filth etc etc" person did, they're going on with their lives completely oblivious to what's happening inside you.  And, they eventually start to wonder why you're now being cold and distant to them. 

If you don't want this to happen anymore, either with you co-workers or your mate, you have two choices.  1 - Do the kind thing, but do it out of the kindness of your heart.  Or 2 - Do it, but let them know what the rules are or what you expect of them the next time.  It doesn't have to be harsh, just a kind suggestion like, "Here's your lunch.  You buy next time, okay?" If they forget the next time, forgive them and remind them again.  If you've expressed what you'd like though, and they don't do it, well, then it's time to stop going the extra mile for that person, unless you feel like doing it out of the kindness of your heart.

I don't expect anything- I just think it's rude. I ask because that's how I was raised- it's rude not to ask if anyone wants anything (but that's just me)- obviously they were brought up differently- it's just irratating- I think I'm just going to stop asking....and move to California... :-)
