Co-worker offended by my Christmas card?

user1471867483 · 18/12/2024 21:10

I bought a pack of Christmas cards from Tesco's 20 pack. They were like animated religious ones. Five of the cards had 'Little donkey ' wording on the front. When my co-worker opened her card, she said, "Are you calling me a donkey?" I didn't even know I'd selected that card in particular for her, as I was just working through the card pack. I said "I didn't design them. Tesco's did". She said she was only joking, but she wasn't. I just wondered your thoughts?

A poor choice? Too risky?

Oh behave!! The world’s gone MAD!

I don’t know about a donkey, but she sounds like a dickhead.

Can you get Christmas cards from Tescos with a dick on?

Which gospel places a donkey at the heart of obedience to Christ?

Stable containing donkeys maybe?

Shame she's leaving. I'd ensure that the whole year I'd write in white font DonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkeyDonkey in all the emails I send to her so she's spammed with targeted advertising on her browser for donkey sanctuaries and donkey themed tat forever more.

We were taught that the reason a donkey has a cross on it's back is because it carried the mother of Christ and the baby Jesus and was therefore a blessed animal.

How the fuckity fuck does a Tesco Christmas card with a Donkey on it come across as passive aggressive 😂

JC03745 · 19/12/2024 19:23

'Oh, that's not a donkey, its an ASS, and yes, it did remind me of you!!! 😆

Good job it wasn't a camel or she would have really had the hump.

But the she was being a bit of an ass about it

What? It’s a religious occasion. It’s not remotely risky to send a card that reflects this.

The Festival of the Donkey 🤭

She doesn't sound very stable.

SabreIsMyFave · 20/12/2024 18:10

Really....? Wink You gave a colleague a Christmas card with a donkey on the front of it, and she thought you were calling her a donkey?! FFS! 😂

Nothing like this has happened to me - ever, in 50 odd years of life!

She has issues with everyone. She falls out with people right, left and centre, but it's her last day today as she has a new job 😁

Has anyone bought her a leaving card?

peachystormy · 20/12/2024 18:34

I would have just laughed in her face.

How ridiculous of her

Yes and guess what? She emailed me to ask if they'd been a leaving collection for her and she wanted to know who signed it (the card) 🫣.

Not sure if this is a pun, but you're spot on!

Get one with Merry Twatmas next year for her.

Tortielady · 24/12/2024 11:32

Don't give it another thought. If anything, you were flattering her - donkeys have big, soft ears, cute faces and are generally nicer than many people. And if she doesn't get the Little Donkey reference, is that your fault?

TheBerry · 24/12/2024 12:11

I think she was probably joking and you took it a bit seriously

CosyLemur · 24/12/2024 14:06

YABVU for calling "Tesco" Tesco's! Tbh

Is she young ? My young adult kids never sang Little Donkey at school so wouldn’t know the reference to the song. Some schools never do a traditional nativity and do the modern ones with random characters like cowboys. My kids wouldn’t be annoyed and would assume that the donkey was a reference to the one that Mary rode.

You didn’t do anything wrong. If you’d not given her a card then she’d be the type to complain too.

Actually in the bible there is no reference to a donkey most biblical scholars believe they walked.

What gospel mentions a donkey that is just a modern day story
