Work is annoying

I have a Gluten intolerance.
A lady offered me some cake. 🍰

Me: no thank you, I don't need any.
Her: yes you do, it's SO good
Me: no I don't, because I have a gluten intolerance, it's not an allergy, but an intolerance and I'd rather not have tummy problems.

Her: oh poor thing
Me: nope, there are plenty of things that are gluten free AND taste good (and others that are horrible)

I hate that people just don't take " NO THANK YOU" for an answer. Why do I have to give an explanation, so that you don't cut me a piece of cake that I do not want/need. 🙄🙄🙄🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🙄🙄🙄

Even my mother doesn't listen. Still busy me cake every year for birthday, despite me asking her not to. Even buys HER favorite flavor, one that I absolutely hate, for MY birthday

I make my own desserts that are gluten-free if I have a craving for them. I made banana bars this morning, sweetened with stevia. I’m retired but nobody in real life has done this to me. I remember when I was still working and how many would bring sweets to the office especially starting around October and kept doing it till the holidays were over. But even then they didn’t get pushy.

@cherokeepatti then too, I'm always the smallest, so I think they also want me to be fat like them.

@iamnikki probably if they are pushing you to join them
