To want to do more than raise an arch eyebrow at colleague?

Today I brought in a largish tin of biccies for our section (you know, the Family Favourites use-the-empty-tub-as-a-MP's-second-home size). There are currently 6 of us in the section.

I made a brew and took 2 biccies.

Colleague (moany one who was difficult when we were trying to book Xmas meal out) says in a pointed voice 'those biscuits are for everyone you know'

I gave her the Paddington Iklboo hard stare for a minute and said in a nice measured voice 'yes I know, there's plenty for everyone'

She says 'Well, I'm just saying'

Other colleague: 'Iklboo did bring them in'

Moany colleague: 'I know, but we should share them'

FFS - 2 biccies out of about 100???

AIBU to be a bit irked?

You're kidding - you bought them and she gave you shit for taking two???

What a complete moo.
She sounds barmy.

Ahh we have someone at our work that would eat all the biscuits, it got to the point where we decided we would buy our own and keep them hidden away. Funniest thing is where some of us would be surrepticiously (sp?) whispering to each other the fact that we had a fresh packet of M&S extra-chocolatey and would sneak away to share them. It was like being back at school and sneaking behind the chapel for a crafty cigarette! grin biscuit

Ah office biscuit politics.

It's days like this that make me miss work.

Luckily, the other 364 days make me glad I'm a SAHM grin
