Colleague at work rolling her eyes when I talk at meetings

So I know this woman doesn’t like me - I haven’t a clue what I’ve ever done to her or why but it’s obvious. From ignoring all my teams messages yet pointedly commenting and loving everyone else’s. Anyway at the team meeting this morning I raised an issue and before I had even finished the first sentence she was trying to interrupt me and when I kept talking started huffing and rolling her eyes at me. Basically it turned out that she had some information which explained the issue - but she hadn’t told me I’m not sure if she’d told the others . I just ignored it but what would you have done. It’s really bugging me. She is so rude to me!

"Excuse me, I'm still talking." if she interrupts you. "Is there a reason you are rolling your eyes?" if she does that. I would ignore the teams stuff, but being rude in a meeting I would comment on politely. Keep your tone as neutral as possible, but don't let her get away with that shit. Make it visible to others as she is being really unprofessional.

Yeh I think my manager will just gas light me and say she didn’t notice anything. Maybe if it happens again I’ll say something at the time. I don’t know. It’s made me feel crap all day

‘Oh, is everything ok Carol, did you want to say something?’

I would just stop and do that every time so she knows and everyone’s attention is drawn to her rudeness.

Eye rolling is a form of contempt - she is openly showing you contempt in front of other people.

I would speak to my line manager and ask for her to be spoken to and warned. If you haven't done anything obvious, it is completely unacceptable to roll your eyes at a work meeting. Nip this one in the bud - then watch yourself after that. No fawning, avoid where possible but be utterly professional if you need to have contact. Let it all sink in for her. she cannot do that to you, the end.
