It seems that whenever you do something nice for a women, they take it the wrong way. What should I do? Should I confront her about it, or just keep the card? [/quote] I would definitely talk to her and apologize if you somehow gave her the impression that you were hitting her. Let her know that is not/ was not your intention. You could kindly say that you did get the card for free and you were not going to use so rather than seeing it go to waste you thought you'd give it away. If you say nothing than she may believe her impression of you was correct. btw... you should not blame her too much. It is the men that create women to react this way. You would know what I mean if you walked in a woman's shoes for a day. [/quote] Unless he's done something obnoxious before to make her write that note, I don't see why he should apologize for anything. Sorry I gave you a free giftcard? Lol "you should not blame her too much. It is the men that create women to react this way. You would know what I mean if you walked in a woman's shoes for a day." This is a nice excuse for the women who choose to treat men like garbage. The fact is, for the most part, you get what you give. If a woman's not being treated by men the way she wants to be treated, the problem is her. Don't take the easy way out with the lame excuse above. [/quote] The bottom line is she didnt want the cheap, re-gifted $10 coffee card. She has a job and obviously can afford a cup of coffee. In the workplace men should know better than to do something like that, for one op got a reaction that upset him and now she has to duck and hide from the cheap creepy guy. Fucking with people's bread and butter is not cool. Op should have just bought some coffee or donuts/muffins for everyone and quit blaming the woman for being a bitch. Women hate when men who are out of their league show them any attention, it makes them feel like they are on a lesser level. Deal with it, y'all wanted feminism, now we use in every facet of our lives. When you are too nice, people get clingy. Respect her wall, op, she doesnt want you. [/quote] What a load of bollocks. What did she expect, the keys to a new Ferrari? Why should he respect her wall? If he cares that is. "no" sometimes means "yes", and the ones who are the most unsure about are the women themselves. I know this contradicts some of the "game" literature, but it's my experience. No man is out of any woman's league. Maybe no woman is out of any man's league either. We're all just human organisms and souls. That's a big secret but it's true. Fucking with people's bread and butter? wtf are you talking about? He didn't tell lies about her to the boss, he gave her a coffee card. [/quote] from a business/HR standpoint he is most certainly fucking with her bread and butter, she may now feel that the workplace is not comfortable. Most people are aware of gift giving policies in the workplace, and that you only gift down to your subordinates around the holidays. I didnt make up these rules, many companies frown om this type of behavior for the exact reason that op is upset, it causes needless workplace drama and strife. Maybe she just wants to come to work and not have that happen in the workplace. She did the right thing by giving it back. OP needs to grow up. [/quote] Can I be the first to flame this? If the concern were HR gift policies, it would not have mattered if it's a "cheap, regifted" coffee card or something "manlier". But "cheap, regifted" is the first thing on your mind, as if she was worthy of a greater gift. Nowhere does it say that he's her boss. He describes her as "coworker". There's no HR policies most places against giving cheap regifted coffee cards to coworkers. [/quote]

I gave my coworker (female) a giftcard I got for free but I didn't tell her I got it for free. She took it, end of story.
well, I went to my office and I found a note with the giftcard saying she couldn't take it because she doesn't want to hurt my feelings or lead me on.
What do I do? It was a $10 giftcard for coffee.
