My work colleague always responds to conversations with a negative. So much that I usually no longer share what I have been up to or quickly change subject however, on Saturday I was out with friends at a bowls club where we were given food and drinks in their little club house after. We had such a lovely afternoon. Lots of laughs and photos are now on Facebook which work colleague will have seen. Thing is she will say she won’t eat there because she heard bad things or someone’s aunty from 4 doors down knew the postman who delivered there and didn’t like the ground keeper or some other really odd way to decide she doesn’t like it. I could literally say I was in Gordon Ramsay kitchen having Sunday lunch and she would know someone or heard bad things.
It’s the same if I’ve said my car is going for its MOT. She will respond that she’s heard bad things about the garage because her grandads gardener thinks they took his car out for a drive and used 3 miles worth of fuel. Or a camp site will have had a hair in the bathroom. It is honestly every little thing will have some negative comment however, if our boss then comes in and says something like I saw you at the bowls, it looked lovely she’s change her entire story to match what our boss has just said. It’s bloody exhausting!
She made a comment about how I cleaned the work kitchen and that it was ok. It not her clean! I did manage to respond to that by saying fair enough, I won’t bother in the future and I can leave it all down to you. That didn’t go down well.
