I just started at a new job about a month ago and it's been going really great. Everyone is helpful and friendly and they all treat me as though I've been there forever. 

During lunch, we all sit in the cafeteria together, about 5 of us. It's fine and I mostly listen to their stories about things that have happened in the past. 

I wouldn't say I'm shy, more like I prefer to just not talk. I've had this problem for my entire life. In big group settings I'm much more of a listener than the group talker but I'm fine if someone either asks me something directly, if it's a small group (3 or less) or if im super comfortable. 

Sometimes during lunch, I make excuses of not being able to go down to the cafeteria and stay at my desk and eat alone. It feels the most natural to me but I also feel guilty doing it everytime. 

AITA for not showing up to lunch sometimes? Should I just suck up the social anxiety and sit with them? Genuinely dont want to outcast myself or hurt their feelings. 
not wanting to sit with my coworkers at lunch

I really love spicy food, and a lot of my day-to-day meals have some sort of spice to it. It's just what I'm used to and prefer. I'm also aware that my spice tolerance is typically on the relatively high/extreme end.

Anyway, my "meal-prepped" weekday lunches (not necessarily healthy but enough to last a full week) are spicy, as you can guess, but a very decent/moderate level (at least to me). My workplace has a main communal kitchen and a smaller one that's closer to my cube, so I use the microwave in there to heat up my lunch. I often take it back to my cube to eat for a very quick lunch break, which a lot of people at my company do. At least several days a week, a particular coworker will repeatedly cough and comment, "Wow, I can smell the spice from my office." His office is maybe 20-30 feet away from my cube. I don't know if my lunch truly bothers them or if it's just them making a harmless comment, but I wonder if it's the former. That being said... I haven't asked them directly because 1) it's my lunch, not sure what I'm supposed to do about it, and 2) I eat for maybe 10 minutes, immediately wash the bowl in the kitchen, and the smell does not linger.

To give you an idea, my lunch for this week was tofu + vegetable stir fry with maybe 2 tbsp of gochujang (Korean red chili paste), 2 tbsp gochugaru (Korean chili powder), 1 tbsp red pepper flakes... This is for the whole batch, and it's not like I'm putting capsaicin in my lunch!

Anyway, AITA for eating spicy lunches?
bringing spicy lunches to work

Hey folks, I’m going to try and tell this as bias free as I can. Important info, we live in BFE so the doctors appointments/PT are at least 45minutes away. It made more sense for them to go to the doctor/physical therapy with me than for me to drive 45 minutes to the appointments, 45 minutes home, and then 45 min to town and then 45 min home. I tried for two days straight to take my fiancé out for Valentine’s Day. I would be paying for the lunch, movie, and gas for the date. The only kicker was that I had physical therapy one day and a doctors appointment at the other so we needed to leave the house before noon both days. Well the first day arrives and fiancé won’t get out of bed and I finally tell them that I guess I’ll just go ahead to physical therapy without them since I would be late and they weren’t even really up yet. I go to the date and come home and we agree that we will go to the movie the next day. Well the next day comes and they get up and are sullen at the doctors appointment because they don’t feel good. They are sullen at lunch because they don’t feel good and I ask if we should cancel are plans.  They pussy foot around it and I explain that if they aren’t going to have a good time I don’t want to go. So we agree to not go and go to Walmart and then home. Am I the asshole for being upset that they couldn’t get it together enough to go on two different dates that they agreed to?

not accepting an apology
