So I was just at an induction and was to be fair, probably the oldest one there so the rest of them tended to congregate together and only one made the effort to include me. Not a problem.

But one of the women/girls kept looking at me and sniggering. I told myself I was being paranoid but it was becomming really obvious. Her friend then looked over and looked back at her to ask what she was laughing at. The girl then whispered (honestly) something to her and they both burst out laughing Shock. I let it go but I was starting to get a bit upset and angry at this point. Minutes later the girl came over to me and said "sorry about before, I wasn't laughing at you, it was something else." I just said "ok no worries" and she then pulled out her mobile and said "do you mind if I take a quick picture of you? I'll delete it afterwards." I asked what for and she said she'd text her boyfriend to say I really looked like Peter Griffin and he didn't believe her so had asked for a photo.

I told her she was offending me and asked her to leave me alone or I'd report her. She was sweet as pie from there on but I feel so down now. I'm home now and I can't get it out of my head. I'll be working with her next week too which just makes it even worse.

Sorry for the namechange but I am embarrassed by it all. :(

WTF?! No, I'd be really pissed off too. That's outrageous behaviour.

johnnycastle · 18/09/2013 15:57

How rude Confused

Groovee · 18/09/2013 15:58

That is extremely nasty and you are not being unreasonable. What a silly little girl she is.

I don't know if it was a reference to my weight or not but it's really brought me down. I'm on a diet at the moment and have been doing really well, lost 2lbs this week and now I just want to go and eat. What's the point if I still look fat.

Oh that's horrible. YANBU, she sounds like a terrible person.

mrsdowneyjnr · 18/09/2013 15:58

Bloody immature cow. Don't let her stupidity get to you.

BadgersRetreat · 18/09/2013 15:58

I think i'd have told her to shove her phone up her arse

ignore her OP - she's just being a little cow

ScrambledSmegs · 18/09/2013 15:59

YANBU. That's vile. She should be embarrassed, not you Sad

Thanks
Dobbiesmum · 18/09/2013 15:59

Good god how old was she? 10??
Cheeky little mare, I would be icy cold but very polite to her when you work with her next week. Unbelievable that someone old enough to work is capable of childishness like that.

NotALondoner · 18/09/2013 15:59

Can you talk to one of the supervisers/bosses?

CooEeeEldridge · 18/09/2013 15:59

Awful, vile, horrid girl. Can't believe people like that exist (but sadly many do). I only hope she is on the receiving day one day. Do you have to go back? I know my advice should be to rise above it, but can understand why you would prefer not to.

CoffeeTea103 · 18/09/2013 15:59

I had to google who this Peter Griffin was and I was Shock. How rude of these girls. Just shows their upbringing.
I can't believe they actually said that to you! Sorry Thanks

YouTheCat · 18/09/2013 15:59

What a horrid cow!

Tbh I'd be reporting her anyway. Does she work in a public facing role? Because if so, I don't think she's mature enough or suited to it.

Dobbiesmum · 18/09/2013 16:00

And don't think like that about your diet. 2lbs is bloody good, more than I've managed to lose in the last couple of weeks. Hold your head high and thank any god you believe in that you're not her or her friend...

ScrambledSmegs · 18/09/2013 16:00

2lb this week is great! Ignore that spiteful baggage, you're doing brilliantly. Congratulations!

magesticmallow · 18/09/2013 16:00

What the actual fuck??? That is quite possibly the rudest thing I have ever heard!! You are not being too sensitive but you are being too nice - you should either a. slap her or b. report her - cow!!

Tailtwister · 18/09/2013 16:01

YANBU, she was so rude! Tbh I would probably report her anyway. If she genuinely didn't think she was doing anything wrong (and her behaviour suggests she didn't) she needs to be pulled up on it.

LegArmpits · 18/09/2013 16:01

You should have told her she looked like Brian.

DuchessFanny · 18/09/2013 16:01

How bloody rude !! You're not being sensitive I think that dirt of behaviour would upset anyone !
Don't let the nasty cow sabotage your hard work on your diet though, she's not worth it !!

frogwatcher42 · 18/09/2013 16:03

Report Report Report.

She deserves it. She sounds like a real piece of work - silly little bitch.

I bet you don't look like that at all. Do not lose the will to diet as you have done well and you do not want a silly little cow like her to put you off track.

What goes around comes around. She will get what she deserves at some point.

NomDeOrdinateur · 18/09/2013 16:04

How hurtful. Please don't let it make you self-conscious - starting over in a new place can bring out some really horrible character traits in insecure people, and she would have found some pretext on which to ridicule somebody else if you hadn't been in her eyeline.
