Upset with colleagues

I was on holiday last week. Colleagues have a weekly email quiz. Last week the person doing the quiz did a match the colleague to the celebrity lookalike competition.

I am really insecure about my looks and they chose a very unflattering picture of a not particularly good looking celebrity (not to sound mean here) to compare me to. Everyone else got decent lookalikes.

I am not going to say anything but am I being unreasonable to be upset or should I just suck it up as a bit of a joke? I’m also the only woman in the team and didn’t really appreciate my looks being judged by male colleagues.

You are not being unreasonable. Your coworkers are twats and should be reported to HR. It doesn't matter if it was your best picture and you were matched with Jennifer Aniston, that is not OK.

YANBU those guys really sucks
I also work in a team full of men and many times I have had to put on fake smile at their jokes. Especially pre Covid when we were having face to face team meetings every week and whenever a guy turned up late the boys just had some time filling jokes which I would rather not hear. Now with hybrid meetings most of time I don't have to listen anymore, just turn the volume down until the meeting starts.
