How come you didn't pick anything up for me?

[tkyes]

Just wondering if anyone else has this happen to them and how you would respond.

I have 2 coworkers who constantly whine that myself and another coworker (fishbone) don't bring them back things when we go out for lunch or when we pick up treats.

Mark will come to my desk about something and ask where we went to lunch. I'll tell him then he'll say "well thanks for getting me something" or "how come you didn't get anything for me?"



Coworker 2 - Randy - will constantly make comments if one of us stops at Caribou for the other one. "Thanks for bringing me one" or "I'm sure you didn't get me one because you didn't know what I like"

I just can't get over this. These are grown men!

This is also the same work enviroment though where people whine that there isn't any candy in the candy dish, but don't bother to throw in a couple of dollars to help pay for more candy.

Who thinks like this????

Ooh, ooh, I got a GREAT ONE (but it only works if they NEVER bring you anything)

You say: "I got you exactly what you got me the last time you went out"

Great response, Debster!!

Just say "Do you own a vehicle?" That should stop it.

i think this is a man thing. most men seem to need extra help.

sounds like they are used to being coddled by their wives/so's and expect the same from you
