Had to walk away from colleague...

My colleague does my head in. She moans, and moans, and moans, about everything! Last straw was today, she was moaning that she had put on weight and blamed it on the weather, because she eats more when it's hot, then went on about how the weather slows down her metabolism, and that even if she 'only ate 500 calories a day' she would still get fat, then turned to me and started said she would look like me soon if this heatwave doesn't end pronto (I'm 6 months pregnant). I walked away. I wanted to tell her that the reason she has put on weight is because she eats a packet of biscuits before lunch every day and that I am in fact pregnant, not fat!

How do you cope with people who think they are so hard done by? Who have excuses for everything? I'm so bad at holding my tongue and I fear I may explode! (Pregnancy hormones not helping either!(

I've left a workplace due to moaning.

I was going through a really bad time at home and the constant bitching and moaning about really trivial stuff as well as unnecessarily looking for minor dramas just did my head in.

OP tell her that it’s not heatwaves that cause pregnancy. Just that and leave her to it.
