This guy TOM at work is always bringing in sugary treats each month. I don't know what his deal is, but one week each month TOM brings in a tray of cupcakes or brownies or whatever every day and it's causing me to get bloated and irritable. Also my hormones get messed up.

WHAT DO I DO?

    This is a tricky situation OP and it needs to be handled delicately. If you rouse TOM up he can give you things like abdominal pain and hot flashes. What you need to do is just accept the fact that you're just going to be overweight for the rest of your life because TOM keeps bringing you chocolate.

    Take charge of it, and don't use TOM as an excuse. Just one more excuse to add to the list.

    Eat it all so no one else can get any.... eventually they will not let you know Tom has brought food in so you will never know and all the worries will be gone!

    You need someone to act as a tampon of sorts between you and TOM. He/she can absorb all the sweets your coworker brings in, before they get to you. I am thinking the receptionist? If she doesn't want to eat it all at work she could just take everything to her pad for later.

    How prescient. I'm about to start my rag. Maybe I should have the BF act as my absorbent buffer.

    I tend to get strikes when I give advice in TOM threads...

    ...so sorry, I'm no help.

    Good luck, OP.

    Say OP, you act like this is a new situation. But is it? How long have you been employed by this job, when did TOM first first arrive at your job and how long have you been working with TOM.

    I don't mean to be harsh, but it seems to me that you should have gotten a handle on this situation by now. How old are you?

    Or at least know to visit the HR office...although...maybe TOM is paying off HR and the big bosses and they have Burt all chained to his desk and threatening popsicles up the nose if he doesn't at least properly stare at TOM's goodies.

    the only thing worse is when Aunt Flo comes by for a visit. stays for about 5 days, and always leaves a mess.
