Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : There is a woman at my work who almost everyone likes but a few people can’t stand, including me. She is 50something hippie who is  deep into new age woo-woo. She lays compliments on thick to people whether she knows them or not and gives them gifts, which are often not cheap. Of course, a lot of people are all over that, but I don’t like it. It feels like she is doing it with an expectation that you owe her later in some way. So I have never accepted anything from her.  

Awhile ago I got pneumonia and was pretty sick, and ended up needing a 2 week sick leave. One day I was checking my work email from home and she had emailed me saying she heard I was sick and she wanted to give me some “secret recipe love soup” (this is what she called it). I kindly said thanks but no thanks, because 1. I have a couple food allergies and don’t like to eat unfamiliar food (especially secret recipe food), and 2. I had zero appetite and felt like throwing up most times during a few of the days I was off. She could have accepted my refusal, but she replied saying oh her soup was vegan and she prayed over it to make it safe (wtf) and I could freeze it for when my stomach felt better. Again, I replied and said “again, thank you but no thanks. I really don’t want any, but appreciate the gesture.” She didn’t reply again, so I thought that was the end of it.  

The next day she showed up at my door with this huge tub of soup. This time I was less nice. I said, “Look, I told you “no,” twice. I feel like shit, and am going back to bed now.” I shut the door and saw the hurt shocked look on her face as I did so. Later that day she posted on her Facebook an motivational quote-type image that said something to the effect of “your feelings are not as accurate as my intuition”. I knew it was about me.  

I’ve thought back on this incident a lot and I never feel bad for what I said. So, AITA?
