I don't know if I'm being unreasonable here but I'm feeling a bit upset about it.
Since the day I arrived my work colleague will not go for lunch with me. I don't mean like a 'lunch date' all it is is we get free food from the hospital canteen as a perk of our job and two people go each day to collect it.
When it's his week to go he calls the allocated person to walk down with him but when it's my day to walk down with them he goes without telling me and just brings the food back in two trips!
He's friendly at work, helps me out with me work so doesn't seem remotely angry or offended by me.
I don't know what to think. My first thought was maybe he had a wife or girlfriend who worked in the hospital and didn't want gossip but he's single and even if he wasn't, it's just a set work related task, not like we're sat in the canteen having lunch together!
I don't want to make a fuss over nothing. But it's quite rude actually. Most people have noticed I reckon but no one has said anything. Except my boss who joked that he might be mean and give us a joint work project to do and then laughed.
So his discomfort with me alone is clearly office gossip.
AIBU to feel a little hurt and humiliated by this?
