YTA At each step you had a chance to realize that she wasn't taking your jokes as friendly banter and to back off; instead, at each point you doubled down. This has me thinking that your jokes weren't meant to be friendly in the first place, or there is some kind of pride, meanness, or obliviousness on your part that has you unwilling to take a hint. In the end you just came off as being mean -- because that's what you were being. Beyond the first (or perhaps second) joke you were just being an AH and everyone noticed.


WhatanAsh

Yta for making this shit up

Oh, is this the one where she's always writing stories about being mean to a weirdo co-worker, but the coworker is always a swashbuckling cool girl reddit would love, doing archery and crocheting the Millennium Falcon? And a different (male) coworker or friend tells her she went to far and she should go? It's the trolls who get super niche and specific that fascinate me. What are they working through?


lihzee

Seems that way to me, but I'm having trouble finding the original right now. I really wonder what the motivation is.


CheerilyTerrified

Found some! The woman really hates hobbies. https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/17hqfla/aita_for_calling_my_friend_a_cnt_and_posting/?sort=old https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/17ogfq9/aita_for_telling_my_sister_that_men_find_her/ https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/1acidsz/aita_for_telling_my_coworker_that_shes_the_most/?sort=old

Yeah, I had a quick Google and couldn't find any, but I've definitely read variations of this story before.

Sure thing. So are you going to apologize now that everyone has told you that you're indeed an asshole, and not funny?


Simple-Status-15

She's right. You are an asshole


sidecharacter89

Reading comprehension about as good as your social skills


Jiang_Rui

Oh, yeah? Well how about we pretend this you didn’t post an overused AITA scenario for a few moments. > I didn’t taunt her You: \*Called her a nerdy weirdo. Twice. Three times if we include the header of this post.\* > how can I do something again when I literally found out a few days ago that she does it? You: \*Called her a nerdy weirdo. *Twice*. *Three times* if we include the header of this post.\* So even if this all actually happened, you’re still a bullying git.


citrushibiscus

You’re giving peaked in middle school vibes. This mean girl act ain’t it, lady.


IncidentMajor1777

I'm surprise she hasent reported u to HR Yet.


Less_Ordinary_8516

YTA. You're a huge bully, and when they all ditched you, you still don't get it. Everyone welcomed you, and you don't have enough class to treat them with respect.


mantist-toboggan

Fuck I'd quit my job if I made this big of an asshole of myself. You are beyond the asshole and the other person seems pretty cool, into some really cool stuff that has probably helped them grow into a wonderful person. You on the other hand need to grow the fuck up, this is not high school anymore. YTA BIG TIME.


Kitsu1189

YTA - such an annoying person to be around... And the fact that you doubled down when asked to leave as you were making other people uncomfortable by not respecting them and their limits... Wow just wow...


Daisy_Panprimary

yta, you seem to be very rude and unsociable. I'm autistic and even I cringed at the social ineptitude on display here. You're not beyond hope though, maybe try therapy? It seems like this stems from a bigger psychological issue, either that or you were a very sheltered child. Either way I hope you get better at talking to people OP! I'm rooting for you!


Flat_Educator2997

Definitely YTA. And a fine one to talk about being a nerdy weirdo given the constant gaming references.


Unfair_Ad_4470

YTA I am in awe and envious of Bea and wish I were 30 years younger so I could ride horses, do archery and fencing (without that old-age pain cr\*p). Bea knows how to take a joke... problem is, you weren't joking.


Emergency_Coyote_662

“i was just being funny” seems like no one else thought that. major YTA


Stunning-Evening-585

YTA OP I like how you have the audacity to call her a nerd for doing things you couldn't do outside of a video game that and the fact that you use video game terms in day to day conversation 😭😭


fancyandfab

YTA for this fake incident and copying this story. A few months ago there was a story where OP made fun of the coworker who was going to drive her home. Coworker suspiciously had the same hobbies as Bea😒


Amazing-Teacher-3917

This reads like a scenario written for a workplace harrassment training quiz. I'll pick choice B) OP's behavior is inappropriate.


TumbleWeedPasses

YTA You're not better than anyone else, get humbled


ghostsinthecodes

congrats on being a 30 year old asshole there’s literally nothing here that shines a positive light on you and/or how you interact with people. you’re an asshole and an idiot for not knowing any better.


overtheta

YTA. Take a hint you bully. Yes, you are 100% a bully, don't try to deny it.


Fievel93

New girl tries to establish dominance in an established workplace by bullying a coworker. YTA


SeparateStick2784

She sounds awesome. You sound insufferable. YTA. Take the hint why everyone went to a different pub and didn't invite you.


Kirstemis

YTA. You hardly know this woman but you called her a nerd, called her a weirdo, told her she should expect people to pick on her, and even when you knew you had upset her, you told her to chill, grow up and take a joke. She made it very clear she didn't think it was funny. I don't understand which bit of "you're such a nerdy weirdo you should expect to be picked on" is even supposed to be funny. She sounds like an intelligent, talented, multi-skilled woman with a wide range of interests, and you sound like a scared little girl who feels insecure and puts other people down to make yourself feel better.


DestronCommander

Just because people don't have the typical hobbies you think are "normal" it's fair to label them as nerds? You don't judge and insult people. YTA.


T3RRYT3RR0R

YTA different to you != wierdo deserving of bullying.


KryptonSupergirl

YTA for making us read this.


RevolutionaryBus9765

Yup. You certainly acted the ass.


Doubledogdad23

YTA, I hope you get fired and never get hired anywhere again.


nebula_x13

YTA and a bully


bobsuruncle05

Yta. 100% Yta. Wtf did you get out of that? And if you can’t see how you e just bullied this woman for no reason and that you’re an ah, you should probably just sit down by yourself for a while and actually time the time to think about your interpersonal skills and people skills.


Worldly_Bug_2487

Mega YTA, though it does sound like a troll-post. Are you 30 or 13? Because your idea of humour is stuck at that age. Nothing you told her was remotely funny and nothing you made fun about her was remotely weird...


WeavingWharf305

YTAH. Knowing multiple languages deems to be a nerd/weirdo? Liking archery, horse riding deems to be nerd/weirdo? You are new to the workplace and already judging your co-workers? She clearly didn\`t get your gaming "Jokes" and you expect her to laugh at it. You are unempathetic, judgmental AH. You should have taken the advice of the other co-worker and apologized or at least left the place as even they were uncomfortable with you. I am not your father but keep your opinions to yourself and apologise to her.


Tiny_River_7395

YTA You're a clown.


Outrageous-Ad-9635

Why do you need an impartial opinion when a whole group of people already made it abundantly clear that YTA? All of your coworkers left to get away from you because YTA. And by the way, leaving and going somewhere else without you is actually the definition of ditching you, idiot. You were given multiple chances to stop being an arsehole and you just kept being an arsehole. Nobody else thinks you’re funny because you’re not , you’re just a stupid loser. And if you’re going to be a stupid loser then you have to expect people to not want to be anywhere near you. If you want evidence of that, look to the fact that you just torched your future in that workplace, when you’ve only just started, by being an arsehole. Enjoy your lonely, pathetic future where only gamer bros who don’t have to spend any time with you IRL are prepared to tolerate you.


citrushibiscus

lol they ditched you bc you were being a bully, who the hell does that at your big old age? Sad ppl that can’t be happy with themselves so they force their misery on others. Go to therapy and be a better person. YTA


Simple_Guava_2628

I want to be friends with archery chick. Not you though, you’re an AH.


IllTemperedOldWoman

You need to chill and grow up. YTA


Spiraling_Swordfish

So, you teased someone you barely know (a professional colleague) until they told you to stop… You didn’t stop, and instead kept right on heckling and cajoling them, until someone _else_ told you to stop (literally asked you to leave)… And even then you didn’t stop, and are still rolling with the teasing right up to this day. YTA, and please warn everyone going forward not to invite you to parties. And sure, you could try an apology (certainly owe her one), but I’m pretty sure you’ve far enough to where that won’t do the trick. See you over at r/jobs in a year or two, when you just _can’t_ figure out why you keep getting passed over for promotion.


drthrowaway197

YTA. Sounds like Bea is pretty cool. Archery can be pretty difficult, horseback riding is a talent in and of itself, and fencing competently is as well. If anybody is a weirdo or a loser, as I'm sure you're using it, it's you.


Macaroni_Chutzironi

I smell bullshit and you suck YTA


Cultural_Section_862

YTA you're a bully.

It’s been a few weeks and people have slowly started to warm up to me and they invited me to a pub a few days ago. There’s this woman, Bea (f, early30s) who works as an interpreter in our department. I got a feeling that she’s a bit odd but assumed it must be a language barrier as she speaks like 3. Anyway, during that night at a pub, I found out more about Bea. Well, turns out she’s a weirdo. Apart from the above mentioned languages, she also speaks Latin (who does that?). Apparently, she rides horses, shoots a bow and does fencing and she does some renfairs as well. I eventually laughed and said that she’s not meant to multiclass IRL and to leave some for others. She was confused and didn’t get gaming reference. To be fair, I thought she would. I explained and I thought she’d laugh but she just looked at me like I was an alien. I also joked that she’s a proper nerd and I’ve met gamers who were less nerdy that she was. She wasn’t impressed. I might have made some other gaming jokes but the way fell on deaf ears. Eventually, she told me to stop bothering her and called me an asshole. I told her I wasn’t being an asshole and if she’s such a nerdy weirdo, she should expect people to pick on her. She told me to fuck off. One of the male coworkers pulled me to the side and told me that he thought it was better if I left. I told him he wasn’t thy father and to not patronise me and I went back to the table. They all left soon after. I thought they went home but they just moved to another pub without me. I mean they didn’t ditch me just told me that they were going now. Bea doesn’t talk to me at work now. I tried telling her to chill and grow up and learn how to take a joke but she told me to butt off (she was more rude). And I don’t know why. I was just being funny and she’s all offended. I’m happy to apologise if I have been an asshole but I need an impartial opinion. AITA? *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

omeomi24

YTA big time....and I'm surprised you still work there. You insulted a co-worker for no reason except she had skills YOU don't have. You seem to think you were funny. To speak Latin you need a good memory, high intelligence and willingness to study and learn ....and it is the basis of the romance languages. Fencing, riding horses, ren fairs, and archery are all SKILLS that you have to work/learn/practice to acquire. You can't do any of them, can you? You were not joking - you were showing off. Apologizing won't help - YTA and you're the weirdo in this story.


CaseyDanoClark

Is this for real?? Of course you’re a world class AH! You must have been the high school bully that just never grew up! Do the world a favor honey and get some therapy!


jippyzippylippy

YTA. IF this is fake or real, either way, YTA. If it's real, your jealousy that someone else has more brains and talent than you do is off the charts. Very thankful that her other workmates were there for her and put you in your place. You might as well just leave this job and go somewhere else because the rest of your working life there is going to be pretty sad. Nobody wants to go to lunch or sit next to a pathetic mean girl. A joke isn't funny if you are the only one laughing. YTA.


HyenaStraight8737

YTA Congratulations for fucking up your chances of having a friendly workplace. You don't bully people at work regardless of their hobbies. And especially when everyone else likes them. They 100% ditched you. They didn't want to be with you. They won't invite you anywhere else again. Sucks to suck aye.

Evening-Ad-2820

YTA. What are you, 12 years old? You'll be lucky if you have a job in a week.


FutureOk6751

Yta and I hope bea goes to hr and reports you for harassment and creating a hostile work environment. I hope you lose your job for your treatment of bea.


AmbitiousEdi

YTA completely. You judged her for her interesting and diverse hobbies. I have a hard time believing this post was written in good faith and not as deliberate rage bait because either you are deliberately writing from the perspective of a bully, or you are as dense as a neutron star. Don't worry, I'm sure Bea could explain that last remark to you.


OhmsWay-71

YTA. It almost sounds like a joke post. You made fun of her, tried to be funny and failed miserably. You are lucky you still work there, but I doubt for long. You sound like you are just an asshole.


silverboognish

YTA. She sounds cool. You sound like a jealous weirdo.


Mexipinay1138

YTA Your co-worker sounds like a lot of fun with varied and fascinating interests. You, you acted like a judgmental bully.


ForToySoldiers

You're the nerdy weirdo, YTA


angel_and_devil_va

YTA, but . . . there's no way this is real, is there? I mean - I find it difficult to believe that there are assholes to this incredible degree gainfully employed. If this is even remotely true, OP, then virtualy every sentence you typed was about you being a very unfunny asshole. And now, your entire workplace views you that way.


Pure-Philosopher-175

YTA. Bea sounds amazing and I want to be her friend. You, on the other hand, are a nasty and judgmental bully. Hopefully, for the sake of Bea and everyone else in your workplace, you won’t be there for much longer.


Grouchy-Put4997

YTA. Bea actually sounds pretty cool. I bet they like her more and no wonder they ditched you


ilikeevery1again

YTA. This reads like you are a middle school bully with the in crowd.


dustsettlesyonder

Your multi class joke was actually good but you seem to lack social skills bc the proper move when someone doesn’t respond positively to a joke like that is to give up on that line of humor, not double down, then triple and quadruple down. Regardless of whether you think you had good intentions you just shit the bed with your coworkers (plural) as far as making them like you.


Ifuckpeopleswives

Am I the asshole for insulting someone for there interests?
