Coworker Discovers Her Gluten-Free Status Was Shared, Confronts Colleague Over Privacy Breach

Office parties often come with their fair share of awkward moments—forced small talk, someone going a little too hard at the buffet, or that one tray of food nobody dares to touch. But sometimes, the real drama doesn’t unfold until after the decorations come down and the pizza boxes are tossed.

In this case, things took a turn when the Original Poster (OP) tried to be thoughtful. Noticing some leftover gluten-free snacks, they offered them to a colleague known to have dietary restrictions. Harmless gesture, right? Not quite. Instead of gratitude, the OP was met with horror—the colleague was upset that her dietary needs had been casually mentioned, leaving OP both confused and stunned.
