I may just be being a little precious 😂 so a bit of background....
I have work with a woman, let’s call her A, for 4 years. She is often grumpy and snappy and often makes ridiculous, spontaneous decisions that have a detrimental impact on our working conditions. I work in a team of 6, including myself, and the other 4 colleagues are all of the opinion that A is a bitch. I somewhat agree at times but I try to see the best in everyone and I let a lot of her behaviour slide as I feel life’s too short to sweat about it. So today she asked me about an email an outside agency had sent yesterday about a client of mine. I immediately loaded up my emails and saw that said client had emailed to re-arrange a meeting originally scheduled for today. No big deal, fired back an email stating my availability for the rest of the week and asked them to let me know what time suited them. She then asked me again about it and I explained what I had done. She stood up and flounced out of the room and shouted at me that I was ‘so rude’. I was perplexed so followed her asking what the problem was. She told me I’d made her feel stupid and had ignored her request for information. I was rather confused as I had immediately responded and told her about the email (i admit I was thinking ‘fuck of and deal with your own clients’ but I didn’t say this). She then called me an idiot, she said ‘you are an idiot, I could of pointed out to everyone that you are stupid but because you are stupid you wouldn’t get it’ I was shocked and walked out of the room, rather confused and rather pissed off. It was just mind blowing! Anyway, later she came to my office and did this stupidly grand wide armed kind of bear hug and said ‘sorry about earlier’. I just stood there awkwardly, not reciprocating the hug and said ‘thank you for your apology but I’m not going to say it’s ok as I don’t feel it’s ok to name call over anything, let alone something so ridiculous’. She was massively pissed off and made a big show to all my colleagues that I am trying to win a popularity contest and I’m out to get her! Wtf?!? Was ibu? Is it suddenly acceptable to poke your nose into someone else’s work and then personally insult them for no reason whatsoever? I know I should let it go, and I don’t want to mention it tomorrow, but I just felt like it wasn’t ok and I wanted to say I didn’t think it was ok iyswim?
