I'd had enough!!

Hi there i think you totally have the right to be annoyed with that person i had the same problem with a former colleague it got to the point that i would skip my lunch just to stay away from that person. It went on like that for months till one day i had enough and i confronted that person and said exactly what was on my mind like you i was his target for jokes and what not. i was fed up and had to say something so i did he didn't like it and did not speak to me after that but at least i got to eat my lunch and finally enjoy my job you have to do what you have to do

OMG well I would say kick her and run but that might not be a good idea. LOL If you are her senior then I would fire her. Do you have an HR department? If so go to them and make sure that you let them know what she is doing. You need to do it before she does that way she can't make it look like it's you instead of her. Where are you? You want me to go kick her butt? :)

I've worked with people like that. But they never really bothered me because of my attitude. I wasn't mean or anything, just that I didn't care. I was not there to make friends, I was there to work. So, the first thing is not to deal with her, but to change your attitude about why you're there in the first place. You're not there to deal with drama or make friends or have lunches with people you don't like. This isn't kindergarten, this is your job. lol. You are there to work so you can make money to take care of yourself. As my kid would say, she's being a bully! lol. Get along with everyone else. Be professional about how you treat her. if you are above her and she keeps crossing the line, put her in her place and let her know that she is uncalled for and needs to back off. She's hurting herself and could very well jeopardize her job if she doesn't lay off. more importantly, you need to make sure you don't lose YOUR job because you couldn't handle her immaturity. I wouldn't take her to lunch at all. Avoid her at all costs...you can't very well during the work hours, but on your break and when you're off work you don't need to be anywhere around her. At some point though, I would probably end up putting her in her place by acting like a mother since she wants to keep acting like a child. hehe. that's just me, though.

Well i think she's testing your patience or character. She may have a childish personality but we cannot say something about her work. She wouldn't be there with you if the boss think she's not good enough right? I guess you just have to get used to and soon, she will get tired of picking on you. If she's hitting you way below the belt, let her learn a lesson the hard way, report her. Do it in a subtle way or you'll look like a primadonna.

I used to work with someone just like her! My ex colleague used to be very patronising too, so I think you have every right to feel annoyed! It sounds like she is showing no respect just like the woman I used to work with. I confronted her one day after she made one comment too many and because she was too egotistical to see she was in the wrong it escalated into an argument. I was lucky that she began to bug other people as well and due to too many complaints about she was eventually transferred to another area which was far away from where I was (rejoice, rejoice) I would suggest confronting her and hopefully she may get the message.

There are many types of people in the world. So we cant generalise their characters too. If u r unpleasant with what she is doing, then you must find a way to create an environment to let her know that u dont like it. But try positively and take care that she learns trully and understand others' feeling like u without any misunderstanding. If then also she cant realise, then its upto ur decision(As u know better her poster). For my case, I understand others and dont like to be done what i dont like. I am very rude if soft doesnot work. But u seem to be very good and generous person.

Well you have every right to be annoyed. The best thing would be is to tell her frankly that you do not like what she is doing anymore. Though as much as possible you tell her in such a way not to create trouble or not to make an enemy out of her. Perhaps she does not know that what she is doing is not right already.

Don't let her be, Like you said you are her Senior, she should know where her place is in the company, tell her the truth that what she's doing is ruining the reputation of the "young professionals" like you. Tell her the truth that you are already annoyed by her "annoying" and "innocent" acts. this problem won't just go away if you just let her be.

My say over this situation is try your best to keep yourself busy. With this, you will no longer notice her childish acts. If she sees you busy doing your own thing, I hope, she will try to leave you alone. If I were you, be straight forward whenever she distracts you while working. If possible, request for a desk away from her.

I've never met someone like her in my work ,but I can understand your condition.in my mind just go away with laugh ,for she is the person who not deserve you to angry.things will be true at last,

If she is really pulling you guys down then i guess eventually she'll probably get fired right? Cz i don't think the boss would like that kind of behaviour around a working environment either. If i were her boss, i'd have fired her sorry azz back to venus. Her behaviour is completely unacceptable to me, and she sounds like those snotty bimbos who knows nothing but everything about the latest trends..Gosh, i'd have shown her a piece of my mind if i knew her... haha, sorry, just wishful thinking...^_^

Hi asianwind You have your reasons to be annoyed and its definately not wrong as there is a limit to tolerate ones anoying attitude. Have you tried explaining this to her. If you havent then you should give a try to explain the situation and tell her how irritated you are. Regards Thanusha

u gotta fight fire with fire sometimes.. if she doesnt mean anything to you then you should just brush it off and continue on with your life.. look at it as a challange, if you overcome it, you know u've become a better person then who u were before

In this case you should let her be because, she is beeing anoying, not you .... you're an inocent !

don't get mad, get even!!!

Hi Asianwind, You shouldn't let her be as you are her senior.I suggeste you can persuade her.She is lovely!!Have a nice day!

Hi asia....I am also 25, sometimes childish and cheesy, feeling like a crossover between innocent and ignorant. And yes, I deliberately tease my officemate's craps out of them but the thing is they are never easily annoyed at me. We always have a good laugh here at the office, teasing each other. I am curious as to how she treats you. Perhaps she is really overboard, and below-the-belt so I guess you have the right to tell this to her. Hating her in secret won't make her a better person. Perhaps an ooportunity will come where she will be welcome for your criticisms (and be constructive as much as possible) like for exaple a truth or dare during a beach party, instances like that, or live-in seminar, or life in the spirit seminar. Hehe, just saying....:-)

You absolutely have a right to be annoyed, as this is your workplace, not a high school cafeteria. You're right, people should act professionally, and in this case, I think the best thing to do is to lead by example. Don't give in or respond to her immature jokes and comments, simply do your job as best you can, and treat her as a colleague. I hope that everything works out for you -- Good luck!

are you still very close to her ? is hard for you to do anything if she still your best friends. i used to work with one of my ex company . i work after one year ,one of the gal joined my company , after that we become good friends. we share every thing we have ,we help each other in job or even private life . but when my boss told us she need to promote one of the gal to be manager , she totally change , she trying to pok me a lot time. and we become not as close as last time, i never thing i wanted to be a manager ,but she can because of want to be promote and pok behind me .. after that i quiet . this tell you friends sometime can not be trusted , if she still your best friend than just ignorant her

I think you have the right to be annoyed, if I was you!
