Harriette spends a lot of time talking about the girlfriend's lunch habit. So do the commenters at UExpress.
But nobody mentions that the girlfriend is not the one being disruptive to the work environment - those coworkers are. She is not the one aggravating LW and distracting them - those coworkers are.
And Harriette sure seems more invested in LW protecting the feelings of those coworkers rather than their girlfriend's feelings.
I don't know if LW wants GF to keep bringing lunch every day or not. If not, they should say so. But either way, LW has a coworker problem and a backbone problem - not (primarily) a girlfriend-and-lunch problem.
