[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you remind me of my coworker. She is single and has been for many years. Every time there is a company event that involves spouses or significant others, she throws a tantrum. She boycots the event and lets everyone know how insensitive it is to invite SOs to company things. Out of 20 people in my immediate group, she is the only one who is single. [/quote]

and she has told you it sucks and you keep doing it.  the whole point of this thread is that it sucks to be left out and instead of understanding that you are dumping on your coworker.    do these events happen often?  what does she get in return?  I understand that she is not being forced to participate.  and I understand that adults don't need to complain all the time.  But we can try to be nicer to each other.[/quote]

What exactly sucks about it? That she doesn't have a boyfirend? I'm sure it does, but I simply fail to see how that's any of our problem. She gets to attend like everyone else and bring whoever she pleases. No one is being mean to her or excluding her on purpose. She chooses to be offended over something that is not offensive at all. We all very much enjoy attending this once a year event with our spouses. She can bring a best friend or not attend at all. That's what I did when I didn't have a SO and that's what other people in my company who are uncoupled do. The idea that 300 people should forgo something because one person chooses to be offended is ludicrous.[/quote]

+1. And there is an obvious reason why this woman is single.[/quote]
