An office employee's unusual lunchtime habit of narrating her food consumption out loud as she eats it has become the center of a workplace debate.The woman routinely comments on her meals, uttering things like, "Mmm, spicy little pickle today," or "OK, let's give this baby carrot a crunch," according to a recent Reddit post.One of the more memorable lines, a colleague shared in the post, was: "What's that? You're just a sad sandwich? Don't worry, I'm gonna eat you anyway."MAN CONFRONTS WOMAN OVER LARGE DOG IN FAST-FOOD RESTAURANT, SPARKING ONLINE DEBATE"I thought it was funny at first, but it happens every single day and it's getting kind of weird," the author of the post said.The writer said the co-worker's habit has become "really distracting" in their small, 15-person office. Eventually, the person confronted her during lunch, saying, "Hey, no offense, but do you realize you talk to your food out loud every day?"The woman laughed it off but appeared embarrassed and has since stopped with the narration."A few co-workers said I killed the vibe and that she was just being quirky," the Reddit user wrote."I feel kind of bad now.

"The challenge is doing so in a manner and volume that is disturbing to others."She suggested the co-worker consider whispering also noting that the phrase "no offense" often makes people feel more offended, not less."Office vibe and culture should never take precedence over consideration and respectful behavior in the workplace," Sekou added. "Co-workers should feel open and free to share their experiences and concerns with one another in respectful, healthy ways."Fox News Digital reached out to the original poster for comment.
