I’m 30M, and I work in a small office with like 10 people. I always bring my lunch from home usually leftovers I cook myself, and I label it with my name in the fridge. Lately, my coworker “Jen” (34F) has been eating my food, like 3 times in the past 2 weeks! First time, she said she “thought it was hers” even tho it hadmy name on it I let it slide but told her to be careful. Then it happend again and she just laughed and said, “Oh, it looked too good to resist!” I got annoyed and told her straight up to stop eating my lunch, that it’s not cool and I’m on a budget so I can’t keep replacing it. She got all defensive, said I’m overreacting over “just food,” and now she’s telling everyone I’m being petty. Some coworkers think I should chill but I’m fed up she’s basically stealing from me! AITA for calling her out like that?

I (22M) bake as a hobby, and I'm actually pretty good at it-like I get paid under the table for weddings and baby showers kind of good.

My sister is pregnant and wanted me to make the cake for her gender reveal. Cool, no problem. I asked her to send me the info so I could prep the inside-classic pink or blue filling. She says, "Oh no, I want to be surprised too. Just make it neutral for the reveal and we'll all find out together."

I was like... huh? So you want a gender reveal cake with no gender revealed...? She says she'll have someone email the info to me later.

That someone never did.

Deadline comes, and I still have no gender. So I make the cake. It's grey inside. Grey outside. Just full on cement vibes. I even added little fondant clouds for effect. It still tasted great, but visually? Grim as hell.

The reveal day comes, they cut into it, and my sister looks pissed. Her husband is confused. People start murmuring. Then she pulls me aside like, "Why would you make it grey? That's so passive-aggressive."

calmly reminded her that no one told me the gender. I literally had no data to work with. I told her I wasn't about to guess or go full improv on someone's baby cake.

Now my mom says I embarrassed her in front of the family and that I "should've tried harder." Tried harder to do what, summon the gender through vibes?

So... AlTA for making the most neutral reveal cake in history?

Edit: I actually did follow up-asked her a couple days before the reveal if the info had been sent, and she just said something like "yeah, someone's taking care of it." I figured it was handled. I didn't want to pester her since she seemed chill about it at the time.
