Woman forced to take off favourite brooch after it leaves colleague terrified

A woman was left in disbelief after her workplace told her to tone down her Halloween cheer due to her spooky brooch leaving a colleague terrified. The woman, who said she often wears brooches to work, decided to upgrade for the Halloween season with a sparkly rhinestone spider accessory.

I don't want to be a d**k but equally I really like my brooch."
Commenters on the post were split over whether the woman should stop wearing her brooch, as while some said her co-worker was being "ridiculous", others sympathised with their phobia.
One person said: "It's
