When a Celebrity Crush Joke Ignites Workplace Drama! 🔥

In a tale that's equal parts hilarious and perplexing, a retail worker's harmless joke about her celebrity crush has sparked an unexpected feud with a new coworker. The worker's jest about being 'ready to be a stepmother' to her crush's children didn't sit well with the newcomer, leading to a tense atmosphere and some rather unsavory name-calling. In response, our jokester decided to double down on the humor, escalating the situation even further. Now, with the coworker considering quitting and a moral dilemma at hand, the question remains: Was the joke really that bad, or is this a case of a humorless coworker? Let's see what the internet has to say about this situation... 🍿

NTA, coworker overreacts to harmless celebrity crush joke. Hilarity ensues 😂

"NTA while the joke wasnt in the best taste she is taking it WAYY out of proportion. You even apologized. I get the feeling she was either cheated on or had something like that happen to her for her to react this poorly. Don't engage with her any more, stop antagonizing her just to uphold your moral hugh ground. If she keeps asking you those questions just respond with "I'm no longer going to engage in conversation with you at work unless it is work related. You are now harassing me and honestly it needs to stop. If you continue I will report you to HR (or your boss) for creating a hostile work environment. I have apologized for the initial comment I made and I'm apologizing now for antagonizing you, but again, I will no longer engage conversations with you if you cannot be an civil." ETA: if she quits that's on her not you." - Engaging office drama 🍿
