My theater is hosting a murder mystery party and I'm in charge of hosting and writing the plot for the party. For the most part, I tend to pick up on patterns easily, so after I put the basics for this mystery, I'm handing the decision on who the murderer is to someone else. They'll be in charge of picking the character specific clues and sending out the character sheets.

Now, I went for Agatha Christie's formula for writing the plot. Simple enough for everyone to follow along, but complicated enough to keep everyone on their toes.

People in the theater are very excited about this party, especially with the plot. Hopefully, I can put this party together and shock everyone, including myself.

I (28M) received two baseball tickets for the Toronto Blue Jays at a work Christmas party. It was a random draw and various suppliers sent over various items from alcohol to coffee makers. One vendor splits a season pass every year with his brother and gave up two of his seats for the party. These are fantastic seats by the way.

My co-worker (60F) works in the office and knew every gift that came in. She really wanted those Blue Jays tickets.

The moment I got those tickets, my co-worker began trying to convince me to give her the tickets. She argues that I don't watch baseball and can't drive to Toronto. I invited my mother (Mom rarely passes the opportunity to spend time with me) and I never say no to free anything. My co-worker says she would appreciate the tickets more, but I said no.

Over the next few months, while I set up a date with the vendor to go to the game, my co-worker would try to get me to transfer the tickets over. I stay firm about keeping the tickets.

Things hit an end yesterday. My co-worker tried to call the vendor to tell him SHE now owns the tickets (I already took the tickets weeks ago). The vendor tells her to talk to me as I already got the tickets. She goes up to me (I'm on the factory floor) and goes on a rant about how the tickets and I need to transfer them to her. I snapped and told her over my dead body.

Later, one of my buddies on the floor says I could have handled it better. I'm just fed up with her trying to get me to transfer my tickets.

AITAH for not handing my co-worker my baseball tickets?

EDIT: Unfortunately, my co-worker is buddy-buddy with the HR rep. I'm currently looking for a new job because of this dynamic.
