Fuck those people. They’re your coworkers not your Grammy. If you can, tell them to stop or ask someone you trust to. If they don’t stop that’s harassment even if covered in humor or followed by self depreciation. They’re like the people that bitch about “ethnic food” smells but everyone has to be quiet when they peel open their Tupperware and the room smells like a brussels sprouts asshole.
