Office perks can sometimes have their disadvantages.

This woman occasionally brought in her own gourmet coffee and shared it with her coworkers.

One particular coworker latched onto it and constantly asked whether she brought the coffee.

When her coworker crossed the line and dropped an insulting comment, she responded politely.

Check out the full story below for all the details.

Coworker thinks it’s my responsibility to buy coffee for the office even though we’re supplied it for free

I love coffee and make/drink it every day at work.

My job supplies us with ground coffee that’s definitely not gourmet, but it gets the job done.

Three times in six months, I’ve brought in better ground coffee.

And shared it with my coworkers by brewing a whole pot.

I also brought in a couple of creamers to use instead of the supplied half and half.

This woman’s coworker repeatedly bugged her if she was brewing her own gourmet coffee.

One coworker in particular latched onto this.

And now asks me every time I brew a pot if it’s our company’s coffee or my own.

When I say it’s the company’s, she scoffs but still drinks it.

At least once a week, she asks me if I brought coffee, even though the last time was at least two months ago.

Several times I’ve tried to nicely tell her that those were one-off times.

And she seems to understand, but then still asks me the next time she sees me.

The coworker asked again and even insulted her.

Today. she asked yet again and said at the end:

“Oh, you must not have gotten your raise since you don’t bring coffee in anymore.”

To be honest, I saw red and wanted to ask her why she was projecting her brokeness onto me.

Since clearly, she hasn’t gotten any raises if she depends on me for coffee.

She replied nicely, even though she wanted to insult her back.

Instead, I asked her why I would supply coffee for the office when we already have it for free.

She started stammering about a coffee fund we could make, but honestly I wasn’t interested.

If I had known I’d be hounded about it for the rest of my days, I never would have brought any in.

Let’s see how others reacted to this story.

Here’s a genius response to the coworker.

Short and simple.

This person shares a similar experience.

Lol. Here’s a petty revenge idea.

Finally, she’s basically harassing you, says this one.

Warning: Free gourmet coffee can turn coworkers into full-time beggars.
