AIBU after being reported for apparently targeting a member of staff

[Vintageshirtsearch]

OK no one is going to believe this to be true but I need to share it. I was spoken to today by my line manager as I've been reported in our 'call it out' policy. I made a member of staff feel targeted and picked on.
I bet you won't be able to guess what I did that made them feel so bad.
It's so crackers I actually thought my manager was joking.
Anyone want to guess?

Time for a throat punch

We’ve become way too soft. God forbid we ever end up in another world war. We’d be totally fucked 🙄

Complimented the person on his/her attire?

Fucking Hell. What is the world coming to! Its not even an 'ism' is it?

Some people on here are ridiculous! This woman (the one who complained) is clearly crazy and one of those who loves to be a victim. Needs to get a grip!

Really? It doesn’t sound like she took sides at all. You sound as ridiculous as the person making the complaint

But what’s next?

OP ’I don’t like coffee, I prefer tea’

Other office lady ‘but that’s offensive to all the people who have dedicated their lives to developing flavourful coffee beans and grading them as strong or not strong, you are saying they have wasted their lives in their pursuit of excellence’

😵‍💫

Wtf😂😂"took sides"

Not yet......😉

OP - did the complainer have a name that sounds like a jewel? I feel like I know them 🤔

You have a spineless and pathetic snitch in your workplace. Beware!

I’ve worshipped Gene Vincent for 55 years, but he was an alcoholic and mentally ill and probably just bad.

How much trouble am I in?

Let’s not talk about Chet Baker, please.

@Vintageshirtsearch you big meanie not enthusiastically agreeing with every decision that a random famous person makes, that your work colleague secretly cares about deeply but has never met. You should always affirm everything, in all circumstances, in all levels of triviality.

I really don’t know how you sleep at night. 😂

No , not a jewel name

Farted before them? 🤭

People really will twist anything on here to excuse arsehole behaviour.

I think the affirming comment is right. At your workplace you must always affirm everyone? That's really silly

Ha, could you imagine if we ever had to go to war?!!

She will lose her shit when she sees this thread then 🤫🤣

Spoke to them about airing work-related grievances on social media?

(This type of thread would absolutely lead to disciplinary action in my profession)

Very subtle

Obviously she is crazy and in the wrong, we are past the point of discussing it as it's fairly obvious. All I'm saying is when you're at work you need to be careful what you're saying. You need to know how to co-exist with difficult people. At work you're professional and keep strong opinions to yourself, it doesn't matter that you are right and the other person is being ridiculous. You play the game and wear the mask or you will not progress far in your career and might be labelled as difficult, even if you're absolutely correct in what you said. It has nothing to do with fairness or common sense, it's about avoiding conflict with difficult people and not harming your career. If you don't like it then don't be surprised when you don't get promotions or get reported to the management. Nobody said this is fair or logical, it's just what you do to avoid conflict with idiots

It’s called having an opinion? Are people not allowed opinions on random things in case someone is offended?! The art of conversation is truly doomed. Not aiming this at you btw I realise you also say this is ridiculous!

One nosey cow kept asking me who was at the door when my ring doorbell went off on my phone. After the third time I just said 'Your boyfriend again. He just wont take the hint.' She complained and was told in no uncertain terms to Get A Grip. It was a joke. 😂

I do agree with this in general terms but I don't think saying you don't like taylor swift is a strong opinion. It's like saying "I don't like cheese" or "I don't like war films"
