To be really pissed off with rude colleague?

[MinecraftCube]

I work for a small company, and am in an office with 3 other women. I am the newcomer as I've only been there for 6 months and the others for a year or more.

I found two colleagues to be welcoming straight away and are nice women, but one colleague, I'll call her Jackie, made it obvious from the word go that I wasn't welcome and that she and the others are a group of friends and that there is no room for me.

I have long since stopped bothering to even try and engage with her on a personal level as all of my attempts when I first started were greeted with an abrupt answer or no answer. So I only engage with her regarding work now, which thankfully isn't much, and I try to have conversations with the other two on an individual basis. She never ever tries to make any conversation with me, she literally will not even say hello when I get into the office even if it's just she and I in there and if I say hello first. She talks a lot to the others about things that happened before I worked there, or about nights out that the three of them have had, or tries to arrange things in front of me for the three of them to do together. She regularly books tables for lunch for the three of them and never invites me.

The most irritating thing she does though is when I'm having a conversation with one of the others, she will always butt in, loudly and snappily to try to "correct" me. So if for example I said that the sky is blue today she would interrupt and say "It's NOT, it's GREEN".

I usually ignore her attempts to butt in and just carry on talking, but she is doing it more and more. This morning she must have done it to me 7 or 8 times, it's like she looks for holes in everything I say and then jumps in to prove me wrong.

It is frustrating as there is nothing concrete I can go to our manager with and say she has done, as it's all a bit underhand and subjective. She is a very tough, mouthy person who isn't afraid of a physical fight either so I think if I said anything back such as the classic "Do you mean to be so rude?" it would just escalate, so ignoring seems like the best tack for now.

We do have a second office next to ours, which has 3 men in it, and she is all friendly and nice to those too so they think she's great!

AIBU to be highly fucked off with her?

My heart goes out to you op because the office bitch is hell to deal with if you're her latest victim. If you let her go unchallenged then she'll get worse. Next time she interrupts you or says something unreasonable just smile in a quizzical way, "Jackie, what's your point?" This will force her to answer you and explain herself. If she says well the sky's green, just shake your head sadly. If this and some of the other approaches don't work then you'll have to go higher. I'm truly sorry because it must be horrible for you, she's jealous and riddled with insecurity.

Sky rabbit, how awful for you, darn these bitches, how do they sleep at night? So sorry...

She does it because she can, this is what bullies do op

I wonder if, outside of work life, she doesn't have many friends so is trying to force the situation with your other colleagues and she is now being territorial, seeing you as a threat.

I really feel for you. I had this when I was younger and it knocked my confidence to the point where I didn't want to speak at all at work. I eventually left but I wish I had gone above her head about the way she was treating me.

grrr...thats a pathetic response from the manager. OP maybe think about what you'd like from this unsatisfactory situation?

Would it be enough if the interrupting stopped?
Do you just want to have no contact with her?
