She said something like " I ran the Hobbyland Marathon!!!".
And without blinking, I immediately asked "how fast?".
She furrowed her brow at me and just walked away. Later she told me that I "stole her win" from her. This was about a month ago and she's still pissed about it.
Hmm…Seems like an overreaction to me. I understand a first timer wanting to just finish and not focus on time. But you didn’t steal anything from her.
If she told you her time and you told her it was no good, I could see her being mad, rightfully so. But you’re a runner, she’s a runner. It’s not crazy to ask what someone’s time was in a race. Especially since you can just look it up online.
Almost time for me to go home. Feeling bad about hurting her feelings.
I'll drop by her office on my way out and give her a motivational speech and tell her to keep her chin up and her butt to the grindstone and whatnot...

I got no more than 30 seconds into my motivational speech before she threatened to call HR on me. I told her those lazy rat bastards went home hours ago.
Whatever. If she doesn't want to be motivated, then she doesn't want to be motivated. Her loss.

Thanks for sharing. This is a great example demonstrating your low emotional intelligence.
If this story is real you would have gone online and found out her finish time.
It's more polite to ask in person.
I know zoomers just LOVE do everything online and ask chadBotAlphaMF everything, but I still believe in a little thing call face-to-face communication.

wow...you are really bad at this.
You are making fun of slow marathoner for being bad at her hobby when you are the trolling equivalent of a 12 min miler.
She's definitely better at running than you are at trolling.

It's my "easy" troll day. Easy days easy. Hard days hard.
