Scotland to make sanitary products such as tampons and pads free for all women

Get on my level. I used to bring baked goods into the office every week, sometimes more than once. We aren't just talking simple things like rice crispy squares , I started making fancy shit; Macarons, Cheese Cake, Saint Honoré, Mont Blanc, Creme Caramel, pies, layered mousse cakes, and any flavor or style of cake that people would request of me. There were several incidents that pissed me off enough to go on hiatus for a month or two after they happened.

  • People started taking stuff home to their families before everyone else had had a chance to eat. As a 9" cake usually lasted less than an hour once it was placed out in the lunch room in the morning, this meant that most of the office didn't even know there was a cake that day.

  • I watched someone shave all the icing off of one side of cake so he could eat it himself. I went fucking ballistic.

  • I brought in 2 cakes one day and one department just up and took one of them to their side of the office. I found out later this was their SOP when I brought in more than one thing.

  • People started to complain among themselves if I didn't bring anything in that week, which I'd hear about from other people. If I missed two weeks, they'd come up to me while I was working and complain to my face...like it was in their contract, or worse, mine.

  • Complaints about authenticity of certain things "My mother makes better X". "Fine, go ask her to make you some".

  • Complaints about never bringing in a gluten free cake. No one in the office had Celiac.

I think there were about 30ish incidents that occurred while I was doing this before I finally had enough and stopped bringing anything in. A smart person would have stopped after the second or third.
