Me and some coworkers usually go out every Friday for casual lunch after work. it started as a fun little tradition to relax after stressful shifts. Few months ago we started inviting another coworker, but honestly every lunch started feeling negative after that. He complains about almost everything every single time. the food, the prices, the service, the noise, even random conversations somehow become complaints. At first we tried to ignore it because we didn’t want to be rude, but eventually people stopped enjoying the lunches as much. So recently we stopped inviting him and now i heard he feels left out after noticing we still go without him.

AITA for wanting to protect the peaceful vibe of the group?
