And People Say Millennials Have a False Sense of Entitlement...

A few years ago one Christmas time my workplace thought it would be fun to host a quiz.

It was just for fun, and everyone was in high spirits due to the nature of the season and the mass consumption of chocolate.

We split into teams based on our preassigned bank of desks, our bank of desks already had multiple tins of chocolate and people from other desks would come over and help themselves.

Now I am a bit competitive when it comes to quizzes, not that it makes me a popular person...

Anyway our bank of desks won the quiz and we were given yet another tin of chocolate. I hid the tin under my desk with the intention that it should not be opened until we had finished off the pretty gargantuan pile of already open confectionery.

This Gen X lady from another department saunters over to check out our quiz prize and asks if she can open it. I advised her that there was an identical tin of chocolates already opened right next to her. She moans because all of the 'good ones' had already been eaten from that tin. I am not surprised to hear this, she was the one who ate them, she had been back and fore to that tin all morning like a starving gannet. She asked again if she could open the new tin.

I put my foot down, I refused to let her open the new tin, I might be a pushover most of the time but as an INFP I have certain standards and that includes strong opinions about food waste.

Well the look on her face, you would have thought I had done something truly evil!

You won't be surprised to hear that when she handed out her Christmas cards, there was none for me even though I had allowed her to help herself to our chocolate supply all year and had already given her a card.

She marked her card as an entitled and petty person that day, but then I hate office politics because its pointless and stupid.
