A curious office worker drew the ire of Redditors when he revealed that he had been pressing his coworker for details about his influencer daughter. Is he a creep or just way too nosy? Decide for yourself after reading the full story.
She’s Sorta Famous
OP works with a man whose daughter is semi-famous on the internet, with a Wikipedia page and a pretty strong social media presence.
They Talk About Her
OP follows the girl on social media, and he thinks she’s pretty entertaining. Occasionally, he asks his coworker about the daughter, and the other man will sometimes share interesting nuggets.
Recently, curiosity got the better of OP, and he decided to do a little more digging.
Did She Cut Dad Out?
He knew that the girl’s parents had gotten divorced when she was 18, and he noticed that mom showed up a lot more frequently than dad did in pics on their daughter’s posts.
Mom Was Way Ahead
In fact, OP went back more than 5 years to tally the number of photos each parent appeared in. It was 3 for the dad and a whole bunch for the mom.
He Went Deep
OP got pretty detailed with his analysis, too, noting which years his coworker appeared in photos, and who he appeared with. He even stumbled across some pics of the girl when she was a kid.
She Changed Her Name
OP also noticed that the girl had adopted a stage surname that she used on her public social media profiles. He was curious why she wasn’t using her dad’s last name.
He Thought They Were Buds
So, OP decided to go right to the source to satisfy his curiosity. He and his coworker had traded details about their personal lives before, including their divorces, so he felt like they were trusted friends.
He Was Camera Shy
At work the next day, OP asked his coworker why he wasn’t in more pics with his daughter. The other guy just laughed and said he was camera shy.
He Didn’t Have a Clue
OP pushed on, asking about the fake surname the coworker’s daughter used. His “buddy” said he didn’t know.
Things Got Tense Between Them
And when OP kept pushing, the coworker grew darker, quieter, and more annoyed. Finally, OP decided he was pressing his luck and left the guy alone.
It Was Not Okay
The following day, OP noticed that his coworker was distant and seemed to be avoiding him. Then, late in the day, OP’s boss pulled him aside and gave him a formal warning for asking provocative and harrassing questions.
He Was Done with It
OP later approached his coworker to try to talk about the situation, but the other man just told him to “F” off and walked away.
They Aren’t Friends
Every attempt OP has made since then to contact his coworker have been met with hostility or avoidance.
He Was Wronged
Now, OP is frustrated with the situation and angry that he got in trouble for what he considers to be nothing.
It’s Like a High School Spat
So he took to Reddit to seek other opinions and try to figure out if he was missing something. Really, he feels like it’s all just some high school crap that he thought he was done with years ago.
They almost unanimously think OP was a jerk about the whole situation and that he was way too deep into his coworker’s personal business.
Stalking the Other Guy’s Daughter Online
Many of them say that OP is basically stalking the other guy’s daughter online and that he’s a creep through and through.
Some point out that OP’s coworker gave him clear signals to back off when he started blowing off his questions, but OP just kept pressing.
