I work in construction and at this time of year we get lots of bottles from our contractors and suppliers. Over the last 3 days we've had a few companies come in with bottles which are labelled with the names of the recipients. Up to now there's been around 50 bottles brought in, none of which were labelled up for me which is fine, I'm not here everyday like them but AIBU to have thought the blokes might have at least offered me one bottle?

They have all been comparing what they've got with each other and generally laughing and joking whilst I'm sad here feeling a bit sad. I know the bottles aren't going to be shared out any further as the guys have put them in their cars Sad

Or am I just being grabby?

The thing is the gifts are often given to purchasers to ensure future orders...so that dept get loads but everyone is part of the team that sells / makes the stuff to require the purchase of raw materials / components iyswim. Should absolutely be shared out

Don't sit there feeling hard done by. I worked in the construction industry for years and got the odd bottle or box of chocolates, er no.

I shouted OY share and got most of it after that :)

Can't you say something to them, perhaps in a teasing way. If they are not usually selfish arses then it might be worthwhile pointing it out.
