Her Creepy Coworker Lied To Get Her To Go Out With Him All Alone But Now She’s Asking The Internet If How She Handled Him Was Really Petty
A woman with one creepy coworker named Keith is left wondering if what she did was petty after he tried to lie to her to get her out with him alone.
“I have a coworker, I’ll call him Keith, who I feel like is starting to cross a line with me, he’s always talking about his wife and how awful she is and I’m always tuning him out or telling him I don’t wanna hear it because it sounds like some midlife crisis…where he’s trying to have an affair,” she explained.
So Keith asked her last week if she would like to go to happy hour. She replied that she might, before asking if it was going to be a group of people from work.
Keith refused to answer the question and told her that you never really know if people can make it out to things like that.
She then asked Keith who else he had invited, and he mentioned that he invited a few of the other guys from their team.
When she inquired about who exactly that was, Keith again was very vague with her.
At this point, she felt like he was not being honest with her at all, and she suspected it would only be the two of them if she agreed to go to happy hour.
She knows she could have just declined, but she really wanted to catch him in the act of lying to her about all of this.
She said to Keith that she would like to go to the happy hour, but her dog wasn’t feeling that well so she was not up for leaving her dog for very long.

The next thing she did was turn around and tell all of the men she works with that Keith was getting everyone together for happy hour.
Weirdly enough, 15 of the guys said they had no idea Keith was organizing this even though Keith insisted he invited everyone.
10 of the guys she works with said they would be down to go, and she then texted Keith to let him know she was going to go to the happy hour after all.
When 5 p.m. came around, the guys headed out to the bar and she pretended to go as well, but then also pretend to get a text mid-drive that she needed to get back home and take care of her dog.
“I guess Keith had to go out with a bunch of guys we work with, who thought he’d organized the happy hour,” she said.
“I know he isn’t the type to want to hang with coworkers outside of work so I feel like that was a bit of karma for trying to be two-faced with me. Ending up having to do the thing he was pretending to be doing…”
“He told me the day later that it was rude of me to invite an additional number of people and then dip out.”
“I said sorry, I thought it was a team happy hour like he was saying, anyway I couldn’t make it because my dog was sick.”
She then wondered if it was rude of her to handle things in that way, before adding, “I actually have been really direct with him in the past and he doesn’t get it…”
“So I felt like maybe pettiness might make more of a point than just saying I wasn’t interested because that doesn’t seem to have clicked for him…but perhaps a super awkward happy hour would.”
Here’s what the internet had to say.
“Don’t you just hate it when you announce a group happy hour and the group shows up? How inconsiderate!”
“Yep, just the type to spike your drink. Sorry to be so wary, general, and pessimistic but this guy has trouble almost tattooed across his forehead.”
“His response makes it look like you were right. Otherwise, he should have thanked you for inviting everyone else. You dodged a bullet.”
“…A guy once invited me on a camping trip. Told me it was going to be him and a ton of other people, huge group.”
“I wouldn’t be able to drive out there with him, since he was going early to reserve all the campsites. so I figured since I was driving out there separately, I’d reserve 2 spots myself and invite a few friends since I wouldn’t know anyone else.”
“When we showed up it was literally just him and he was clearly very shocked to see the other people and was very awkward the whole night.”
“Still get teased by my friends about the time I invited them to my murder.”
“This reminds me of the woman who, when asked for her number by a skeezy guy, put her number into his phone, but really changed the contact info for his mom’s number to her name.”
“So he was truly in charge of his own destiny. Either he would end up doing something he could be proud of, or he would get what he deserved.”
