The most annoying people are the ones who wouldn’t take a hint and keep meddling in your business.

This girl was feeling sick and wanted to be left alone, but an annoying coworker wouldn’t stop asking her why she was not feeling well.

They ended up getting into an argument.

Check out the full story.

AITA for trying to avoid telling my coworker I’m on my period when she asked why I was uncomfortable

I (20f) was working a long shift and I was having some cramps.

I was visibly uncomfortable, and my coworker Dina saw me hold my hands to my stomach.

She asked me what’s wrong.

She gave her a decent answer…

I just said “just a stomachache.”

Dina didn’t accept that explanation and said “No really, what’s wrong?” to press me further.

I said something along the lines of I’m not feeling that well.

Dina wouldn’t stop asking the same question!

Dina kept on pressing and it’s clear she was trying to coax the real answer out of me.

I was getting annoyed and kept saying various versions of I’m not feeling well until I finally just said it was my period.

Some necessary context, I used to be open about it but I’ve found that I get grossed out/icked out reactions from people if I just say the word “period”.

She had a thing with not wanting to tell people about her period.

I would never describe it in gruesome detail and I only ever spoke about it if someone asked first, but simply just saying “I’m on my period” has elicited disgusted reactions.

So now I just avoid saying it altogether.

I obviously don’t agree with how periods are treated as shameful in general but of course I understand that some people are simply uncomfortable with discussing that.

And honestly I also don’t want people to be disgusted by me so I always just find some excuse when asked about it.

Dina wanted to have a sensitive conversation…

Anyway, Dina was not happy about this and said “you can just SAY it’s a period, it’s not something to hide” and started going on a long rant about how I’m stigmatizing periods etc etc.

Which I agree that periods are too stigmatized in general but in that specific moment I honestly didn’t want to risk eliciting another disgusted reaction like I’m used to.

She was simply trying to avoid any unnecessary drama!

I guess it doesn’t work either way because I still got a disgusted reaction, just for a different reason. damn.

Am I really stigmatizing periods because I didn’t want to tell her I was on my period? AITA?

When will people like Dina learn some basic manners?
