| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to TBB, aka the best of bonus. I'm Morgan. I'm Taylor. And today we're doing the aims that we were going to do last week, but we got carried away with a question of the week. And you guys did too, because like that was the longest question of week responses that we've had since advice. Lots and lots and lots of responses there. Yes. For real this time, we are doing our aims. Yes. So the first, we don't have a question of a week because we weren't gonna record that you guys know. Yeah, you've been here done this. Been here done that. So this is from our Reddit thread, creeps and crimes. If you have an AIMS, you can submit it on our Reddit thread, creeps and crimes. And this is from user Living underscore ad 3092 the title |
| 0:39.7 | is would I be the asshole if I didn't ask people to sign a card for a gift that they didn't |
| 0:44.6 | contribute to a co-worker of mine is having a baby and I was put in charge of arranging the shower |
| 0:50.5 | figuring out food decor games etc I am a gift giver ladies. It runs in my blood, |
| 0:57.4 | and I was so excited to pick out a baby shower gift for her. Since we are throwing this kind of |
| 1:01.9 | last minute and it's not her actual baby shower, I sent a message out asking if everyone |
| 1:06.3 | would like to pitch in whatever they wish and I could put together a gift basket, clothes, |
| 1:10.3 | bibs, blankets, etc. And whatever is not spent on the basket, I'll put on a gift card. My idea was that she could use the gift card on items that she does not receive at her actual baby shower. I did not have any objections to my message and some responses even saying they thought it was a great idea. I thought everything was good to go. So I sent my memo to the rest of my coworkers so that they could send me what they wanted and told them to message me if they wished to contribute in a different way. I went and purchased the gift basket and items and got a nice card for all of us to sign and for the gift card to be put in. Maybe I should have waited to see what everyone was planning on sending, but I was just extremely excited to go shopping. Anyways, the baby showers in a few days, and out of the 30 people |
| 1:49.5 | we work with, six people have sent me money for the gift. We have talked about it multiple times. |
| 1:54.7 | I have reminded people about the date time of the event and even mentioned that I will be |
| 1:58.1 | finishing the gift tomorrow and nothing. By no means was this |
| 2:01.6 | mandatory, but the feedback I received made it seem like way more people were interested in the gift |
| 2:06.2 | idea. I've asked if anyone was planning on bringing separate gifts and again nothing. I was planning |
| 2:11.5 | on bringing the card tomorrow to let everyone sign it, but I don't know how to feel about those who |
| 2:15.2 | did not contribute. Now, I won't go out of my way to make sure those who didn't help don't get a hold of the card to sign it, but they didn't do anything for the gift. I would never tell someone they weren't allowed to because they didn't help. I don't know their lives outside of work, but I am frustrated that this isn't going as smoothly as I thought it would. So I guess my real question is, am I justified in being |
| 2:34.6 | upset about the situation? Am I missing something here or am I being crazy? Before I read the comments, |
| 2:40.8 | I do have a thought. I work in a place where there's, you know, 35, 40 of us, I guess, if you |
| 2:46.7 | include all shifts, maybe even 50. And there is an event, there's a card out there every single |
| 2:52.8 | week, whether someone's father passed away, someone's mother's a death in the family, someone has a |
| 2:57.8 | baby shower, someone's getting married, someone's retiring, there's always something going on. |
| 3:02.2 | Right. I don't know your work environment or the situation, but what I know from personal |
| 3:06.7 | experience is that oftentimes I do |
