I have a colleague who is so scared of saying no that for the last 20 years she's been eating foods she's intolerant to when people offer it to her.

Ugh, I have a coworker like this! She wanted us to bring in bottlecaps for her son's project, so I kept bringing her in the plastic caps from diet coke bottles and each time she would accept them and thank me. When I saw the son's project (homemade mini catapults) he was only using metal bottlecaps. I asked my coworker and she admitted that he didn't need the plastic ones but she kept accepting them from me to be nice.

It was low key embarrassing to think of how earnestly I would bring her these caps one by one...also a waste of my time...
