Employee wins baseball tickets to the Toronto Blue Jays at work, coworker demands he give her the tickets because she's a bigger fan, he refuses: ‘I stayed firm’

When was the last time you actually won something?

We all remember the first time we won a prize. Whether it was in a game of Bingo during an elementary school party, in one of those booth games at a carnival, or in a raffle online. It is one of the most exciting experiences of our young lives, getting to receive a cool prize we won fair and square. Even if that gift is not the most exciting thing in the world, you still cherish it because it is a token of your winning, and who doesn't love the feeling of winning something?

That feeling carries through to everyone's adult life too. That's why people in nursing homes still play Bingo, and why some adults fill out a lottery ticket every single week. We are all chasing that feeling you get when you win something all to yourself.

When the 28-year-old employee below won two baseball tickets at a work Christmas party, he was just as happy as any other person winning a great prize. These were fantastic seats to a Toronto Blue Jays game, and this employee was very excited to go. 

However, the winning experience got pretty much ruined when one coworker decided she deserved the tickets more than the employee who won them. She claimed that the employee doesn't even watch baseball, and wouldn't be able to drive all the way to Toronto to see the game anyway. No one at the office was sure why this coworker was so eager to get the tickets, but the employee was not willing to give them up to her. After all, he won them fair and square. Why should he give them up to an entitled coworker just because she feels comfortable pestering him about them?
