To get annoyed with another worker

[BBCONEANDTWO]

Today I lost the plot a bit, I've moved to a new office and one girl in there is doing my head in. She's always complaining about things and I just cracked today - when she went out of the office I shouted 'She is doing my tits in'. Thing is the other 4 workers didn't say anything. One of them just kind of laughed for a moment and then the room went silent!

I'm wondering if I went too far?

yes you went way too far. And its woman, not girl.

What do you suggest I do - confront her about her whining?

Not the best way to make a good impression, tbh.

Ah, I see. You're joking.

What do you suggest I do - confront her about her whining?

What is she whining about and how does it actually impact you? Can't you avoid her or do you need to talk to her to do your job?

I think it's the choice of words that's the problem not the fact you said something

She was moaning about when we take our lunch - there's 6 of us but we were all going at 12 for 30 minutes but maybe taking a bit longer and she said she wasn't managing to get her full lunch hour.

Then she moaned about a mark on the wall and how it's not been reported - I didn't make the mark and I'm too busy to be worried about that sort of thing.

Then she said we need to make a rota for lunchtime - I'm like - seriously!

If she makes a rota we can all be grown up about it.

Have you tried mindfulness?
