AITAH? For stopping my generosity to a selfish taker ? So , a year ago I started a new job , small business with just 3 bosses and 4 / 5 employees. In the first week it became apparent that only myself and one other colleague drank coffee or tea with milk . I will refer to my colleague in question as FP ( filthy pig ) . The first week FP brought milk in , not wanting to take all his I brought some in the 2nd week . For the next 10 months FP proceeds to drink the milk ( in coffee) I buy and bring in, drink the coffees I make without ever offering to make anyone one ! Regardless , because I’m a generous person it barely even registered for a long time how selfish and lazy this pig is ! After 6 months there’s a reshuffle of desks and I end up with FP next to me ! This is when FP starts to annoy me , constantly biting nails and flicking them into the bin - only not all make it into the bin , there’s a nice pile on both desks floor where FP has been sat ! FP is also an obsessive doom scroller , often texting , scrolling and shirking the work , after I highlighted this to managers FP continued to scroll … weeks later after managers realised he’d not stopped as they’d asked him they then said the phone is no longer permitted on the desk! Ever since those words were had a few weeks back it’s been silence from FP ! Sulking and attention seeking - this is why it’s important to stop over giving to a selfish taker early on !
