So background, at 25 I unlocked the rare achievement of hereditary allergy to alcohol. (Weird I know but 7% of allergies develop late in life and happened to my dad around the same age). So my coworkers like to bother me about it a lot. They do things like buy profiteroles (belgian alcoholic cream and chocolate pastries) in the staff room. Invite folks out to drinks and then ask if I want to come anyway. They don't understand how someone can live without alcohol been doing it for 7 years now. It's my normal and somedays their teasing just drives me a bit crazy.
I guess if they found out someone was newly diagnosed as diabetic, they'd think it was funny to keep bringing in sugary sweets to share? There's teasing, and then there's being a dick*. Your co-workers are being dicks. You have my sympathies.
* No offense meant to actual penises or those equipped with a penis.
No, no, I get it. No offense taken.
