If the problem is strictly personal, control myself. If the problem is job related or something that can be changed, I would go to my supervisor or HR and discuss the problem with them. Sometimes just gripeing out loud can help resolve a problem before it becomes an issue. I once took my boss to the HR person for mediation becasue we were not getting along at all and neither one of us was willing to give. The HR said we were both at fault and we were able to repair our friendship and our work relatonship is even better.

I'd ignore them to be honest. If things escaluate, I'd tell them that things just aren't working out how they think and that to keep the peace, it's best they don't bother me much. If that doesn't work, well I'd either talk to a higher up and see if I can get them moved somewhere else, I'd tried to get moved somewhere else or I'd just go and look for another job if it was possible.

I will still try to deal with him/her. Anyway, if you'll keep on avoiding him/her, you're making the situation worse. Get to know her/him better. There's a reason for everything. Maybe he/she had a bad experience before that's why he/she is acting that way. Instead of avoiding, why don't you just try to understand. After all, you will be working together and will be seeing each other everyday, so just try to work things out. and if still nothing happened, at least you tried.

Yes, I agree I won't deal with him/her pretty much because I just don't want to fight for things that are not worth it...I will pretend that she/he is not there...
