Cake-gate at work

I made some Easter cakes for work colleagues today, enough for everyone with a few to spare.
One woman ate eight! She cheerfully announced this in front of everyone at lunchtime. This meant not everyone had one.
WIBU next time to leave a note reminding her to share! Or hiding them from her? Or setting an alarm around them …

Cheeky cow! Did she know not everyone had had one?

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 31/03/2026 18:46

Well they must have been good! You could always go round and give them out to individuals. Does she have form for this?

I'd really like to know what you made!

MyLimeGuide · 31/03/2026 18:47

Lol! Is she a large lady?

BaronessBomburst · 31/03/2026 18:47

Were they lemon drizzle?

I'd suggest a massive snap trap, like a rat trap, and if anyone reaches a 2nd time- they get trapped!

Unless they were tiny, mouth sized pieces and not obvious there was 1 for each person, she is incredibly rude. She has shown herself up though by announcing her gluttony to the team! 😆🐷

I'm not sure I would have been able to resist commenting that it was a shame not everyone got to enjoy them.

Sadly people like that don't really care about others so alas a note or comment would probably be in vain.

BreadInCaptivity · 31/03/2026 18:49

That’s just bloody greedy.

When she cheerfully announced this did anyone point out her greed meant others had gone without?

INX · 31/03/2026 18:50

No, just tell her straight up that there's one for everyone.

No need for passive-aggressive notes or hiding them.

Although I find it very hard to believe she told everyone she ate 8 of them and not a single person said a word?

MauriceTheMussel · 31/03/2026 18:52

Ugh, Deliveroo searching for Easter treats now, OP.

KimuraTan · 31/03/2026 18:53

Whether big or not - she has zero manners. Who eats 8 of anything someone bakes and brings into the office?? I’d leave a note out next time when you bring something in: One for each in the office - remember what xyz did last time ;-) (put her name down)

EnfysDilys · 31/03/2026 18:53

They were Easter nest cakes 🐣 when she announced she’d had eight, a fair few people said they’d not had one cos they’d all gone, she just said she’d enjoyed them! 🤣

Got to admire her blatant CFuckery . How crass of her . I would hate to be thought of as greedy

MotherTuckinGenius · 31/03/2026 18:59

Hope she gets the colossal shits tonight the greedy cow!

rwalker · 31/03/2026 19:05

I’m a twat
so I’d make some more with a note on for those of you who missed out due to one person eating 8

Oopsamama · 31/03/2026 19:08

Wow, that is rude. Fortunately lots of people these days will refuse to go near home-made treats so at least someone enjoyed your handiwork!

The front on her!! That’s obscenely selfish (and greedy!!) and she didn’t even care when people said they’d missed out?! Blimey. Hard to believe someone could be so completely free of the shackles of manners and societal norms!

Listlostlast · 31/03/2026 19:10

Also.. 8?! 8??? I am certainly not a member of the ‘eats like a sparrow’ club, but fuck me. Two or three even I could understand, altho I’d still think it rather selfish, but eight is bonkers

honeylulu · 31/03/2026 19:17

Greedy cunt

Merseymum1980 · 31/03/2026 19:21

Now im a big mamma these days but even i couldnt manage 8. Are you sure she hasnt hidden them as a pratical joke or something

illsendansostotheworld · 31/03/2026 19:22

My God even l couldn't eat that many. How rude of her.

Glittertwins · 31/03/2026 19:22

Much as I love cake, it’s one per person!!

This is so difficult to believe.

Some people are very strange.

This is key, if they were SWNBU!

UninitendedShark · 31/03/2026 19:24

I will never understand CFers like this. I love an Easter nest but 8! Good grief.
