Employee Tells Coworker Nobody Likes Her Because She Behaves Like A Reddit-y Meme, Drama Ensues
In the everyday world of office cubicles and coffee breaks, one employee stands out like a bright light in a dull room. Meet Lori, the queen of internet culture. She speaks in doggo lingo, shares obscure references, and repeats online jokes, mimicking websites like Reddit, Tumblr, Mumsnet, etc.
But when her coworkers started to avoid her like she’s a viral meme, one brave person, Reddit user verydetaileddevil, decided to talk to her. What happened next was a clash between the digital world and real life.

1. Someone got a reality check at work. Let’s dive in!
2. Lori, OP’s coworker, joined work when the work-from-home policy was implemented, so no one really got to know about her true personality.
3. In the group chat, though, OP noticed Lori repeat a pattern. Her sentences and way of talking would mimic what we see on Reddit and all other social media websites.
4. Once everyone returned back to the physical setup, OP realized Lori was the same in real life too.
5. She would literally use Reddit titles to showcase her love for dogs. Wow.
6. She even offended a coworker who had a cat with her Reddit statements by saying she didn’t trust people who didn’t like dogs.
I think Lori needs a doctor. Don’t take me the wrong way here, but she might have a condition that is making her speak or behave in this specific way. Even if this was acceptable to the people around her, I still think reacting “ugh” to a coworker who had a cat instead of a dog was extremely rude. If I were the boss or a team leader in a company, I wouldn’t want such unprofessional people wasting our time.

7. People started avoiding Lori after that incident, and she genuinely had no clue why this was happening.
8. That is when OP decided to do the needful and tell her exactly why all coworkers had started maintaining a space with her.
9. He told Lori everyone considered her a replica of a Reddit meme page and that no one liked her standardized Reddit jokes.
10. You guessed it. Lori didn’t take this well and actually went on leave for a few days, only to return as a much quieter person.

Here’s what the internet had to say about this:
11. Confronting the situation that way might have hurt her, but the fact that OP realized the emotional aspect of it made him NTA.

12. That cat part was really inconsiderate.

13. OP didn’t confront her until absolutely necessary. He was very polite in the beginning.

14. Plain and simple.

15. I back this view. OP would have dealt with this much more harshly.
Via bubbleuj
16. Yes, she can love dogs, but that doesn’t mean she has to hate cats. That wasn’t nice.
Via Redditor
17. And that is what OP did. I hope this becomes a solid lesson for her after all the rage calms down.

18. It is on her to change now.

19. Was it nice? No. Was it true? Yes.
