There’s this guy I work with, his life goal seems to be to wind me up. Just me out of all the staff, he’s even admitted its just me he does it to. Constantly irritating and annoying, gobby, unreasonable, answering back (I’m slightly senior to him) refusing to do what I tell him to my face so I get annoyed but still does the job anyway? Always in my face making jokes, underlining everything I do. And yet we sometimes go weeks where he’s not like this at all and we get on so so well, close even then suddenly he just flips and goes back to being an annoying little p. What is his problem??

He wants to bang you.

WhatwouldAryado · 22/11/2017 18:11

Hormones?
Does it align with payday? Is he jealous of your role?

Aquamarine1029 · 22/11/2017 18:13

Why do you allow him to keep bothering you? You know what he's like. Just ignore his bullshit.

Cornholio78 · 22/11/2017 18:30

Hormones maybe lol, not hear payday, this has been for 7 months now! Don’t think he’s jealous, this job is just a stop gap for him.

Haha def doesn’t want to bang me, there’s a ten year age gap!

I can’t help letting it get to me. I have to spend quite a lot of time with him so it’s in my face when he’s being an idiot, when he’s not he’s the loveliest guy ever!

Ask him? Maybe he thinks he's being funny and charming. Next time he's in a 'good mood' just say "I can't help but notice how much better we get on when you behave more professionally, what makes you change / why can't you be this professional and easy to work with all the time?"

Mid thread name change?

Cornholio78 · 23/11/2017 19:12

I have tried having this discussion, his answer is he just doesn’t know why he does it. Then he’ll be lovely for a few days then go back to being a d* 😡

Cornholio78 · 23/11/2017 19:13

Haha yes name change, made this account when that my name from my other half, he’s no longer my other half

Ttbb · 23/11/2017 19:15

He does it because it works.

Frederickvonhefferneffer · 23/11/2017 19:16

It’s a form of bullying. You must stop him

Ellendegeneres · 23/11/2017 19:24

I'd shut this down, fast. You're senior to him and tolerating him bullying you? Nope.
He'd be facing disciplinary proceedings for it every time. You being nice and having a chat hasn't worked. Time to show him who's in charge

Cornholio78 · 25/11/2017 19:26

Hmm it seems drpeepee may have been right, he asked me out today!

TheStoic · 25/11/2017 19:32

Hope you told him where to go.

He hasn’t progressed past the stage of pulling a girl’s hair because he secretly likes her.

HitManHitMan · 25/11/2017 19:33

What did you say?

Cornholio78 · 26/11/2017 18:52

I politely declined, what has the world come to that winding someone up is considered flirting?
