The judge added that Conaghan exhibited a "conspiracy-theory mentality" and misinterpreted "normal workplace interactions" as harassment. The example offered was when Conaghan wrote "whiz" in a coworker's card then claimed another colleague was copying her when they used "whizz" in a different card.

The Guardian reported she also complained after a coworker asked, "Are you taking the piss, Karen?," a popular British term meaning making fun of someone, after she claimed she was doing "all the hard work."

What a lovely person

“Are you taking the piss, Karen?,” a popular British term meaning making fun of someone, after she claimed she was doing “all the hard work.”

In my experience, the people who complain about being the only ones doing all the hard work are the ones doing more complaining than actual working.

  • One would spend several hours almost daily chitchatting at other people's desks about how they are the hardest worker and things can only get done if they do it, they're the first in, last out, etc. But spends half their day complaining instead of working.

  • Another is a serial whiner who says no one else ever does anything, they have to do it all in order to get it done, yet they always have some excuse why they don't have to come in that day, or have to leave early, take a longer lunch, and spends a good chunk of their day gossiping.
