[New Update]: my vegan coworker is upset about getting non-vegan gifts three years in a row
I am NOT OOP. Originally posted to r/Ask A Manager Previous BoRUs: #1 [New Update]: my vegan coworker is upset about getting non-vegan gifts three years in a row NEW UPDATE MARKED WITH ---- Trigger Warnings: hostile workplace, bullying Editor's Note: This is a repost of AAM. Often, the letter writer does not respond to comments in AAM posts, but for the update post here, they have read and responded. I am adding the relevant comments for more context RECAP Original Post: January 7, 2025 I work in a small office of six people, and since we’ve all been here for 3+ years at least, we’re pretty close. We hold a gift exchange where basically everyone buys a gift for everyone else. I understand that’s probably a bit much, but it works for us. In 2022, my coworker “Marie” got everyone a jar of local honey, which I honestly was thrilled with. Unfortunately she didn’t realize our coworker “Liz” couldn’t have it, since she is vegan (we all know Liz is vegan, but Marie didn’t realize vegans don’t eat honey). It was a shame, but not a big deal. Liz was gracious about it. The next year, Marie got Liz a personalized collar for her dog. Unfortunately, the collar was leather. Again, Marie didn’t know about this element of being vegan. She apologized profusely and offered to buy Liz another gift, but Liz said it was fine. This past Christmas, Marie got Liz a gift set of fancy popcorn. She actually asked another coworker what a vegan snack was as she was getting everyone a gift with a “snack” theme. However, she got a different coworker one of those gift sets with summer sausage, cheeses, mustard, etc. (This coworker is a man with very Ron Swanson type tastes, food-wise, so he would appreciate this.) The problem is these gift boxes looked very similar once wrapped and Marie accidentally switched the labels, so “Ron” got the fancy popcorn and Liz got the sausage and cheese. Yikes. Liz looked genuinely shocked when she opened it, and Marie gasped and began to explain, asking Ron to open his gift to show the popcorn intended for Liz. Liz was very quiet throughout, and the coworker who had recommended the popcorn said she had indeed suggested this to Marie. The popcorn set contained two jars of cheese seasoning, but I really think Marie tried this year. Liz finally traded gifts with Ron and things awkwardly moved on. The problem now is Liz is being very cold to Marie, and Marie confided that our manager had a talk with her, saying Liz feels that Marie has a pattern of bullying her through these gifts. Marie was so upset because she really didn’t intend any of this, it was just ignorance the first two times and then this last one was a complete mistake. She knows how it looks but she doesn’t know how to fix it. In such a small office, one person openly thinking another is a bad person is very awkward for everyone. I don’t know if there’s anything Marie can do to mend fences with Liz, but if there is I would love to suggest it. I feel she’s apologized and been backed up by the coworker who suggested popcorn and Liz is being a bit unreasonable to hold a grudge. But I’d love to hear if you think there’s anything Marie can do to fix it.   Editor's note: For Alison's response to the original post here   Update #1: June 11, 2025 (a little over five months later) Sorry I missed the post the day it went up; I was busy that day and then frankly overwhelmed by the number of comments! But thank you for your reply. You were perfectly right, I wasn’t a party to any of it myself so I couldn’t really get involved without causing drama or taking sides, so I didn’t, except to hum supportive noises whenever Marie was fretting about the situation to everyone in the office. She really was very upset that Liz would think she was intentionally getting her non-vegan gifts. In sort of half-heartedly listening to her fret one day, I realized, and another coworker did at the same time, so she was the one to point it out, but Marie was clearly hearing “vegetarian” when anyone said “vegan.” She thought as long as no meat products to be consumed were involved, she was fine. My coworker actually looked up the definition of vegan and read it to Marie and she was like =O You asked about Marie and Liz’s relationship outside of the gift debacles, and to be honest it’s complicated by the fact that Marie’s husband is a local councilman who is kind of controversial. There was some gossip a while back that Liz was in his public Facebook comments calling him out for some of his positions. Marie never talks about his job or his views; quite the opposite, she has said she has no interest in any kind of politics and she has banned her husband from political talk at home. Regardless I could see Liz maybe thinking she actually is aligned with him privately and being wary of her. After her enlightenment, Marie bought Liz a Body Shop gift card and apologized once again for her mixups. Marie sees herself as a bit of an office “mom” so she always goes a bit over-the-top in terms of the gifts, both in price and in trying to personalize them. She very much didn’t want to get a gift card because it was “generic” but in the end she thought it was safest. Liz still isn’t the warmest toward her, but they appear to be back on solid footing. We’ll try to vet Marie’s next Christmas gift ahead of time. Editor’s note: below are OOP’s comments that will help provide more context Relevant Comments A commenter asking if it was intentional or not: I think you have blinders on where it comes to Marie. If I were vegan and received non-vegan gifts three years in a row, I would believe it was intentional. Marie didn’t bother to ask Liz what being vegan entailed after the first snafu. She then gave Liz a leather dog collar. It’s common knowledge that leather is made from cow skin. After the first two gifts being non-vegan, I find it difficult to believe that the charcuterie wasn’t intentional. *OOP: * The charcuterie mixup was truly a mixup. I saw some speculation about this on the first post so just to clear it up, the popcorn gift set contain unpopped popcorn kernels, of course, as well as three jars of seasoning which were in glass containers. It also contain a decorative bowl that was made of glass. It was heavy. And it was the same shape as the charcuterie board they were similar weights as well. Commenter 1: Ha my mother in law made a soup for my vegan husband and me, and she said, and I quote, “It’s vegan except for the sausage! :-)” Like there were vegetables in it, so that was the vegan part, and the sausage was just an incidental addition. OOP: OMG. This reminds me, after her first grandkid was born Marie made her vegetarian daughter in law chicken soup without chicken chunks in it but she still used chicken broth Commenter 2: The more you attempt to defend Marie, the worse she actually sounds. Including chicken broth in a more complicated dish can be an incidental oopsie, going ‘hmmm, I’m going to make chicken soup for someone vegetarian’ simply comes off as passive aggressiveness. OOP: I’m not defending her. I can’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness but I’m not defending it. She should learn what these terms mean. She thinks her daughter-in-law walks on water though, so I really don’t think it was meant to be passive aggressive. Commenter 3: Yes. The impression I’m getting is that if Marie isn’t malicious, she’s incredibly thoughtless and dense, and the whole office just knows and expects everyone to go with it. That’s not great either, frankly. OOP: My coworker calls Marie our missing stair (not to her face of course, although she would have no idea what it meant). OOP explains Marie more in the comments OOP: Marie isn’t DUMB but she is just very absent minded and, I say this with affection, a bit of a dingdong. She doesn’t google things, full stop. She thinks the rest of us are magicians when we can find info on google. Then she said “I really need to start doing that.” Then she’ll look up a number the next day in a ten-year-old phone book. (She called the city once to ask why she hasn’t received a new phonebook in years.)   ----NEW UPDATE---- Update #2: December 30, 2025 (over six months later) I saw some comments on the update I sent in before (about my coworker who cluelessly gave a vegan coworker three non-vegan gifts) wanted to know what Marie would get Liz for Christmas this year, haha. Liz ended up leaving the company in October for another job, so alas, no Christmas gift story, but we did have a farewell lunch for Liz and Marie gave her a book of plant-based recipes for dogs. Liz does have a dog, I have no idea about its diet, but still, this was an improvement, especially considering no one knew Marie was going to get a going-away gift for Liz and therefore couldn’t vet it. I was really holding my breath when she pulled it out. Fortunately, Marie actually bought this book at Barnes and Noble earlier in the year when it was on display, in anticipation of giving it to Liz for Christmas. It wasn’t weird for her to give Liz a going-away gift, since turnover in our office is pretty rare, but obviously it hadn’t gone well before, so I was still surprised (but also not, because that’s just Marie — she loves to give gifts).   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Welp. Turns out its Red Oak. Guess i made a Charcuterie board?
Was making an end grain cutting board from scrap glue ups that were laying around the shop. It was destined to be raffled off. Looked like white oak. Most the red oak we have from our mill has giant pores and is easy to identify as such. Once i applied some oil i saw it drink it like a thirsty camel. And the pores were obvious. Just raffle with the disclaimer? In my opinion its heavy for a serving board. Should i run it thru the speed sander and take off another 3/4”? Its 1 3/4” now submitted by /u/StitchMechanic to r/woodworking [link] [comments]

(She called the city once to ask why she hasn’t received a new phonebook in years.)   ----NEW UPDATE---- Update #2: December 30, 2025 (over six months later) I saw some comments on the update I sent in before (about my coworker who cluelessly gave a vegan coworker three non-vegan gifts) wanted to know what Marie would get Liz for Christmas this year, haha. Liz ended up leaving the company in October for another job, so alas, no Christmas gift story, but we did have a farewell lunch for Liz and Marie gave her a book of plant-based recipes for dogs. Liz does have a dog, I have no idea about its diet, but still, this was an improvement, especially considering no one knew Marie was going to get a going-away gift for Liz and therefore couldn’t vet it. I was really holding my breath when she pulled it out. Fortunately, Marie actually bought this book at Barnes and Noble earlier in the year when it was on display, in anticipation of giving it to Liz for Christmas. It wasn’t weird for her to give Liz a going-away gift, since turnover in our office is pretty rare, but obviously it hadn’t gone well before, so I was still surprised (but also not, because that’s just Marie — she loves to give gifts).   DO NOT COMMENT IN LINKED POSTS OR MESSAGE OOPs – BoRU Rule #7 THIS IS A REPOST SUB - I AM NOT OOP submitted by /u/Choice_Evidence1983 to r/BestofRedditorUpdates [link] [comments]

Welp. Turns out its Red Oak. Guess i made a Charcuterie board?
Was making an end grain cutting board from scrap glue ups that were laying around the shop. It was destined to be raffled off. Looked like white oak. Most the red oak we have from our mill has giant pores and is easy to identify as such. Once i applied some oil i saw it drink it like a thirsty camel. And the pores were obvious. Just raffle with the disclaimer? In my opinion its heavy for a serving board. Should i run it thru the speed sander and take off another 3/4”? Its 1 3/4” now submitted by /u/StitchMechanic to r/woodworking [link] [comments]

What do you all think of my charcuterie board?
I work as a culinary manager/chef at a nursing home. I was tasked to make mini charcuterie boards for our tour guests and new residents; I was given 15 minutes notice today lol. Considering my PRD is literally ass, I think I threw something nice together. submitted by /u/dreadbadger420 to r/KitchenConfidential [link] [comments]

Putting food on a board does not make it charcuterie.
Charcuterie boards are, by definition, a collection of cold, cooked meats. A couple of nonspecific examples that grind my gears… Have a collection of vegetables on a board? Thats crudite. Have a bunch of ingredients for chili on a board? That’s a chili topping bar. Have a board with pancakes and various toppings? That’s just stupid and impractical presentation. They are not “chili-cuterie”, pancake charcuteries. You put food on a board, and it’s tacky, boring, and unoriginal. For the record, I love charcuterie. Actual… charcuterie. submitted by /u/CatlisaJohnson to r/unpopularopinion [link] [comments]

My life has been ruined by a stupid Charcuterie board of all things.
My wife and I recently bought our first home. It’s an old house, a fixer-upper that needed some elbow grease put into it, but it was within our budget and we weren’t afraid of a little hard work. First, we fixed up the kitchen and bedrooms, then living room and dining room. One-by-one we checked items off our list as we made our first home into a dream home. Eventually, all that was left was cleaning out the Attic and the basement. Whoever had owned the house before had left a ton of stuff behind. The attic was full of musty boxes of clothes and old furniture. The basement, was unfinished but had a strange number of half-melted candles and a box of old moth-eaten satin robes, which was pretty weird but my wife and I had a good time playing dress up and repurposing some of the old furniture. One day, while we were cleaning out the basement, Chrissy, my wife, found a really cool wooden board. It was about 18 by 20 inches and decorated with all sorts of intricate designs and carvings of angels around the edges. The center of the board listed all of the numbers of the alphabet (in order) along with the numbers 0 through 10. In the top corners it said the words YES and NO. I thought it was probably some 1800’s era teaching tool, but Chrissy corrected me. “Oh my god!” Chrissy, exclaimed as she brushed a century worth of dust from its surface, “What a cute charcuterie board!” I walked over to her and picked it from her hands as she held it out, “Whoa babe, this is pretty cool!” “Babe, look at this!” she held up another piece of wood. It was vaguely in the shape of a triangle, finely decorated with a hole in its center about an inch in diameter, “Its for scooping out dips! This is just too cute!” A few weeks went by and Chrissy and I started to think maybe we weren’t as handy as we liked to think. The doors we mounted would open by themselves, pictures we hung on the walls would fall to the ground. Once we entered the kitchen to find every cabinet and drawer open. It was disheartening to think maybe we had bitten off more than we could chew with this project. One night while watching a movie and enjoying charcuterie together I used the ‘scooper’ to put a fat hunk of goat’s cheese on my plate and sat back on the couch, when I noticed the scooper started sliding along the board untouched. It stopped after a few inches, but man how annoying it is to think the house we just poured our savings into might not even be level. I didn’t bring it up to Chrissy because I didn’t want to upset her. Funny story about that night, halfway through the movie Chrissy cut a piece off of the block of gouda we had on the charcuterie board. She ate the cheese and tossed the knife back onto the board. Instead of clattering on the board then coming to rest, the knife started to spin. I think it might have been greased with the olive oil on the board, but it spun for nearly a solid minute before coming to a screeching halt, the blade pointed directly at where the board said NO. We both laughed about that for a while, I mean what the chances of doing that again? It was so weird. Our cat started acting strangely. It would stare off into random corners with his hackles raised. He became more aggressive towards Chrissy and I and he would absolutely lose his shit when we brought out that cool charcuterie board we found. In fact, he hated that charcuterie board so much that we ended up throwing it in our garbage can. That night our air conditioner broke. I don’t mean it stopped working – I mean we couldn’t shut it off. The temperature in our house dropped by like 50 degrees. We could see our breath in our bedroom. I told Chrissy I would call the HVAC man in the morning and we went to sleep under a mountain of blankets. When I woke up the next morning Chrissy was gone. I assumed she went out early to run some errands, but her car was still in the driveway. Maybe she was out for a run. I heard the cat make some really aggressive noises and went to go see what was going on with him. He was on the kitchen counter hissing at a plank of wood that sat on the kitchen counter. It had some sort of symbol carved deep into the wood. I picked it up and turned it over and was shocked to see it was the charcuterie board we had thrown out. I figured Chrissy had changed her mind and fished it out of the trash before going on her run. I went into the bathroom to wash my face and get ready for the day. As I lowered my face to the sink to splash some water on my face the bathroom door slammed shut. Thinking Chrissy had just come home I tried to go out and ask her where she’d been, but I couldn’t get out of the bathroom. The door was locked shut somehow. I couldn’t get out. Just another thing to add to my to-do list. I had to climb out of the window and walk around to the front door to get back in the house. Chrissy wasn’t home. A few hours passed and I still hadn’t seen Chrissy. I began to get worried. I tried her cell phone several times with no answer. As I paced the house trying to put together the pieces about where my wife could be the basement door creaked open. I went to shut it and heard noises coming from the dark, unfinished basement. Footsteps, then whispers, then oddly, the muffled sounds of a baby crying. I called the police and told them my house had been broken into. They performed a full search of the house including the basement and the attic. They didn’t find anyone. I filed a missing person’s report for Chrissy before they left. It’s been 3 days. I still hear the footsteps and voices. Doors are constantly opening and closing. I’ve thrown that fucking charcuterie board away 3 times and it still keeps coming back and I’ve checked the A/C unit hundred times, I even called a professional in, but it still gets so cold in this house every night. I know I’m a good carpenter. Those doors aren’t on crooked. The floors of this house are level. I’m beginning to understand what is really going on here. My house is haunted, and I don’t know what to do about it. I can hear Chrissy. Her voice is coming up from basement, she's asking me for help. I want to go down there, but I’m too fucking scared. My hands are shaking as I type this. I can’t trust this house. I know that as soon as I walk down there the door will close behind me. What do you guys think I should do? submitted by /u/mrbeefthighs to r/nosleep [link] [comments]

Charcuterie board set I call "Better Together". These were a wedding gift for a good friend. I took the nesting concept from pictures but added the heart. I think the heart makes it much more complete.
