Okay first time poster bc I am just so freaking fed up with it. I work in an office setting with cubicles so there’s no real privacy or escape. I’ve worked with this woman for two years and I swear I’ve met few people more miserable than her. Nothing is ever good. Everything is always bad. And she repeats the same things all day every day. I’m a very empathetic person but my goodness I simply cannot feel bad for people that will do nothing to help themselves. Like I said there’s always something wrong and today (and often) it’s that she’s hungry. Completely fixable problem. We have snacks here in the office and are surrounded by restaurants and she goes home for “lunch” daily. It is also not a financial issue. The problem is that she “doesn’t want to eat anything”. She also hates cooking. I’m typing this and realizing how silly this is - just frustrated bc I hear the same things over and over…. and over and over again. It doesn’t matter how many solutions are placed in front of her. She just refuses. I just wish people would help themselves when they have all of the resources to do so and not place burdens on others. We all deal with shit and have our personal lives going on. All of us. Like yes - if you don’t plan, don’t shop, don’t cook, or even order out, the result is that you will not have food. Thank you for listening I needed an outlet.

Also I cook extra food whenever I can and bring her leftovers and I’ve even given her vegetable propagations for things that grow well here. Ironically today is the first day of our canned food drive I set up here at the office and I’ve told everyone if they’re in any need to please help themselves!!!
