We’ve all been there – trying to do something nice for our coworkers, only to have it backfire. A woman (F27) decided to buy Easter Eggs for her colleagues as a small treat to lift their spirits during a particularly busy and stressful time at work. She carefully budgeted for the gifts, opting for the basic £1 small box egg. While most of her colleagues were appreciative, one (Jess, F32) was less than thrilled, calling the gift ‘tiny’ and meant for children. The situation escalated, and now the woman is left wondering if she was too petty in her actions. Let’s dive into the story and see what happened.

A Chocolate Dilemma: Was She Too Petty?
In an attempt to spread some Easter cheer, our well-meaning protagonist bought small chocolate Easter eggs for her colleagues. While most were grateful, Jess (F32) complained about the size and quality of the gift. After Jess stated she probably wouldn’t eat it, our protagonist took the egg back and ate it herself, causing tension in the office. Now, she’s left wondering if her actions were too petty or if Jess was being ungrateful. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this chocolatey conundrum…
