Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : So here’s what happened. One time my boss asked me if she could borrow my earpods for work purposes and I made an excuse that I left mine at home, next day she saw me using it so I didn’t have any excuse and let her borrow it. Fast forward she came to me and told me she lost my earpods. Apparently, someone stole it when she left it at her station. She assured me that she will just replace it. I asked her if she’s sure because it was kinda expensive and that she should try looking for it maybe she just misplaced it. She  was like “How much is it? I know it’s original, I’m the one who lost it so I should replace it. I don’t have a choice. Where can I buy it? I’ll just give you the money.” So today I went to a power mac center it was $33.98, told my boss, I can see she’s kinda shocked. She said “MF that’s expensive.!”She asked me if it’s okay if she will just give me  $10 to buy an earphone, told her she should buy the same one she lost. In the first place, she’s the one who promised that. Earlier she keeps on joking in front of our team that it was too much of me to make her pay for something brand new and that she should just replace it with a 2nd hand. She also jokes about how she would grade me lower and that she have to use her money from her savings, if it was really original blah blah blah.  I know it’s a joke but she’s been going at it the entire shift every time she sees me and it’s starting to annoy me. Although on a serious tone she asked me several times if I am really going to make her pay. Now I’m actually the not the type of person to do this. I’m a shy and quiet person but i’m trying to get out of my comfort zone by saying what I really want and learning how to say no. Is it really too much to make her replace it with a brandnew earpods?
