I've just been relocated to another part of the office and am now sat in a bay with a young lad. At first he seemed ok but is one of those nosey types who, in conversation, has asked me about my house, cars etc etc. I'm in no way rich but am of the age now (40's) where I have only just been able to buy a few nice things for myself.
I don't know what's up with this lad but now he has a bit of info on me he continuously drops my possessions into any conversation in a snipy/jokey way. It's like he has a huge chip or some inferiority complex and is doing his utmost to make me feel bad about it.
For instance he'll point out his old scuffed shoes and then say, "well you don't have that problem with your xyz brand of shoes do you", so bloody loud that the rest of the office can hear. Or he'll tell me about having to repair his car but then follow it up with, "but of course you don't worry about repairs with your brand new xyz".
He was bloody nosey enough to ask me about my stuff and now he's making some huge thing about it. If I knew what he was like then I'd have lied.
Would I be unreasonable to tell him to fuck off next time he says something? He never acts like this about anyone else in the office and it's really wearing thin.
