Workplace gifts
I get to my part-time job a couple Saturdays ago and saw there were cupcakes that said "Happy Birthday" on them. I asked "whose b'day?" It was a woman who just had left who seemed to have been trying to get me to ask her out (which finally subsided.) I threw a "By the way, happy b'day" out there this past week, and she attempts to lay a guilt trip on me... telling me that what I get her this week will let her know how sorry I am for missing her birthday. WTF?
She's a really nice woman, but should I really have to get her anything? I don't even know what to get my mother for her 60th b'day this coming Tuesday! I'm recovering from hernia surgery. I don't have time to do anything for someone just because she sends out interoffice emails to announce her birthday & does things like giving out candy gift packets with her picture on M&M's for her birthday. Hell, I don't even tell people when it's my birthday. One year, at an old job, this woman asked when my birthday was when it was my actual b'day. I asked why... "We're putting together a birthday list of all employees." Rather than go through the crap that would obviously come up if I said "today," I told her Feb. 29. If she wanted it that bad, my real b'day is in my file. On 3/1 I get a card signed by all the staff... including the ones who I went drinking with for my real b'day. Idiots... So would it be bad to give her a pack of microwave popcorn with "Happy Late B'day" written on it with a sharpie?  |

That guilt trip sounds more like flirting to me.

Don't give out microwave popcorn. She'll just burn it in the microwave and stink up the office for hours.

The rare times this happens, you must take action. Get her a butt plug. Bet you she never asks you again for a birthday present.
On the other hand, sounds like she's flirting with you.
