Navigating coworker dynamics can be tricky, especially when someone mistakes friendliness for something deeper.

When one woman got sick, her colleague took things a step too far — and then shifted the blame when it didn’t go well.they

AITA for reporting my coworker for showing up at my apartment uninvited, even though she said she was just checking on me?

I (27F) work in a small office and get along fine with everyone, but I mostly keep to myself.

There’s one coworker I used to grab lunch with now and then, but we were never super close.

Then, one day, things got weird between them.

A couple months ago, I started dating someone new, and I guess she noticed I seemed happier or was dressing differently, because she started making weird comments about me ditching her and calling herself my work wife.

I just laughed it off, but it made me a little uncomfortable.

But little did she know, things were about to escalate even further.

Then I got sick and was out of work for a few days, and she straight-up showed up at my apartment. I never gave her my address.

She said she brought soup and was just worried, but it felt like a huge invasion of privacy. I told her later that it wasn’t okay, and she acted offended.

Then HR got involved.

A few days later, I found out she went to HR first saying I was being cold and distant, so I told them what actually happened.

Now some coworkers think I was too harsh and that I overreacted.

I really don’t think I did, but AITA?

Her coworker’s behavior was waaaay out of bounds.

Did Redditors agree?

This user agrees this isn’t a professional way for coworkers to behave.

Maybe it’s time to start keeping a paper trail against this coworker.

Taking action against this coworker was definitely a smart choice.

It seems like this type of weird behavior is all too accepted in this workplace.

She never asked for a close friendship, and she certainly didn’t invite anyone to her home.

Choosing to protect herself was the right call.
