My colleague gives me the rage!

We have a new member of staff who has been with us for nearly 7 months and I find she gives me the rage! 😂 The poor woman has done nothing to me but she has quirks / habits that really grate me. I have worked with horrible people in the past but i didn't feel like this!
It's like she's the human equivalent to when you can't stand loud chewing. It gives you the rage in a complete irrational way! 😂

Has anyone worked with anyone like that?!

  • if you are having a conversation with someone else, she turns her head towards you to listen in,If you catch her eye, she quickly looks away. I have made it into a game now! 😂
  • when dealing with queries, she'll only do the "easy" ones as she doesn't want to / won't speak to / mither other colleagues/ departments to resolve the issue. We do them instead.
  • she doesn't talk to me ever, no small talk, how's your sick dog / holiday etc nothing but only comes to me to ask where I'm up to with work. Like wtf?! Most of my work doesn't even have anything to do with her!
  • she will send emails offering help but when it's busy she doesn't even help out.

Yes. Instead of blowing her nose she just sat there, next to me, and snorted up her boogers. I could hear it. I finally brought in a box of tissues, which she didn’t use. She was just really gross.
