Coworker Steals Pregnant Woman's Sonogram Photo For A 'Cruel Trick'

Some women like to pull pranks on their significant other or their friends, pretending that they're pregnant. Even though they're not, they try to be convincing that they are.

If you are using sonograms or pregnancy tests to make your prank more "real," you should most likely ask the person beforehand, unless you want them to get angry.

One mom wrote into Reddit seeking advice after a co-worker went behind her back and used her sonogram without her permission.

"My husband and I found out two months ago we are expecting our first child. Last week, we officially announced it via text and phone calls to our friends and family," she said.

"The next day at work, I found out that one of my coworkers had taken the photo of the sonogram I had sent them in the group text (someone had asked to see it) and posted it on her social media to 'fool' her ex-boyfriend (who she broke up with a few weeks ago) into thinking she was pregnant," she continued.

"I never wanted my sonogram on the internet, I don't have a Facebook or an Instagram or anything like that, and I feel extremely uncomfortable that it's out there without me being able to control the audience of who is looking at it.

Also, this seems like an extremely cruel trick to play on someone, and she used my sonogram as a prop for this mean joke," she said.

"When I expressed that I was upset to my coworker, she said I was being 'dramatic' and I am 'just looking for something to be upset over.'

She said she covered up all identifying information, and that it was only up for a few hours and she told her ex-boyfriend the truth after 'making him sweat for a bit,'" she added.

Everyone on Reddit was in agreement that this was a total "no-no."

"What in the world was she thinking??? This is a huge invasion of your privacy.

I mean, I'm not even touching the can of worms of the prank she played on her bf, because holy hell. I'm just focusing on your involvement here. To be completely honest, I'd go to HR about this. But you do you. It's absolutely unacceptable behavior.

And, frankly, I think it's time to not be on a group chat with her. This is not someone you need having access to your life outside professional boundaries," one person commented.

"Yes! A visit to HR is totally warranted and I would definitely keep things strictly professional with her from now on. I’m seeing multiple reasons to never interact with her if you don’t have to," they said.
