A woman has shared her horror after receiving a ‘pornographic’ Secret Santa gift from an anonymous colleague. She said her new colleagues suggested she do the office Secret Santa, but she was surprised to receive an adult coloring book.

The 50-year-old said she wasn’t usually thrilled to receive an adult coloring book as she’s never been one to get carried away, but when she looked at the book she was surprised to see sexual images and terms associated with it. “pornography”. 🇧🇷 instead of swearing.

On the Am I Stupid thread on Mumsnet, he wrote: “I have always avoided secret Santa arrangements whenever possible, largely due to the branches here. This year, in the small team I work in, we have new members. a professional environment that offered us an agreement between us and, in order not to appear stingy, I accepted”.

She added: “I was given an adult coloring book and some markers. I have to admit I was disappointed about this as I’ve never been this crazy and I’m a little disappointed that one of my co-workers jumped to the conclusion that I’m an adult dry cleaner, but that’s beside the point. 🇧🇷

“My real problem is it’s 50 bad words to color your rage, go to hell, I’m coloring an adult coloring book.” It must be good, I love solid profanity and I have a job that can be pretty stressful, but today I finally took a look at it and a lot of the color words aren’t profanity per se, but really, really nasty slurs and misogynistic terms and sexualized words that I associate with pornography, not profanity.

“I was very offended that someone thought this was an appropriate gift for a fifty-year-old colleague in a professional setting. My question is do I say something to the group or just throw it away and forget about it. about this? I think I added a photo so you can see what I’m talking about.”

Many Mumsnet users were also horrified by the offer. One mom said, “Wow. I would go like this, with the whole team present, let’s say I don’t know who was responsible for my secret Santa Claus, so I’m going to think positive and assume you don’t know. Don’t look straight. when you bought it. It goes in the trash.” Another added: “It’s really disgusting. There is a big color difference between ‘go* and ‘s*m’. I’d keep it if it really turned into something else.’

One mother wrote: “It’s really awful. I will go against the grain and say that if it were me I would be pushing to find out who it was as I would find that to be a completely unacceptable form of covert sexual harassment. It’s not funny, it’s a way of hiding something that would otherwise be objectionable under the veneer of a joke. To say the least, it is malicious and inappropriate.

“I don’t understand why anyone should suffer humiliation and irritation at work; bullies always hid their dislikes under the veneer of ‘jokes’. Had I received this, I would have filed a formal complaint, made a huge fuss, and ended up with a full ban on Mystery Santa. But then again, I’m just a humorless feminist who believes that women no longer need to put up with nasty “jokes” at work in order to maintain some form of social courtesy or to quell the feelings of mean or stupid people. No thank you”.

However, many users would simply say “throw it away” and “move on”. One woman said: “I think it’s very inappropriate, but I would just throw it away. It seems to me that the donor did not pay much attention to this.” Another added: “Just throw it away. Don’t be that person who does great things.”

Another user agreed with the majority that the person behind the offer didn’t realize its full scope, saying: “I agree with the majority and say they probably just thought it was a bunch of profanity. Maybe not very well thought out, but I think they found it funny. Guess they didn’t think too much if you were an adult dry cleaner.

One user thought the 50-year-old was being reckless and said: “YABU {[you are being unreasonable]🇧🇷 I saw this coloring book and I thought it was fun and I want to get it as a gift. In the end I couldn’t, but if I had I wouldn’t have gone through each page to see if each one fit.

“The donor must have flipped through it, as I did, and the ones they saw were harmless. At my job, Secret Santa gifts are fun but practical, so I’d say they’re perfect. However, at my previous place of work, gifts were serious and that would not be appreciated. So I guess it depends on what your workplace is like.” Another added: “They don’t know what was on each page. They think you swear a lot and have a good sense of humor so I thought you’d find it funny. “
