To find this woman at work annoying

I offered to do a small admin job that would help both of us out and she agreed it was a job she had been meaning to do for ages. I said ok I'll do it, she said thanks and off I went. The next thing she was literally standing behind me the whole way through telling me how to do simple things like scroll up and down a document, she was leaning on the back of my chair and in the end took the mouse from me and started amending the document herself which I thought was really rude. I was irritated and asked her if she would like to finish the job off to which she flounced off saying that it was my job to do it. So I carried on and she came back and did the same thing all over again! This time I bit my lip. Once it was finished she was going off to deliver it. I suggested that we make it available for other people to use too because it makes everyones job easier and she said if I wanted to share it with our colleagues then I could do it myself because she didn't want to do that extra work. AIBU to find this woman annoying and rude?

Well, I guess that's the last time you'll ever offer to do anything that helps her in any way shape or form - even if it means inconveniencing yourself slightly eg having to wait while she gets a round tuit! Are you going to take the few seconds longer it would take to circulate this with a covering message not mentioning Annoying Woman's 'contribution'?!

Agree with Walk

I have circulated it, it just seemed really mean spirited and I would never grab the mouse when someone else is working, not even at home let alone at work. I think she is cross with me but I have no idea why, mind you I think she's wound a few other people up.

YANBU - it is really annoying when someone thinks they can do something better than you even though you haven't asked for their help and then they get pissed off when you don't take their advice!
