Was she being rude?

[KimchiLaLa]

I work with a colleague who has a good reputation, but we both report to the same manager and sometimes I feel like she can be quite patronising to me.

Today a junior colleague came to talk to me about an idea and I said, "yeah, we can also do X too".

The other girl chimed in (it wasn't her meeting) and said "I don't know. That's a bit unengaging, isn't it?"

She throws these comments at me all the time. Not sure how to deal with her. Or whether I'm looking in to it, as everyone else seems to like her. How would you handle it?

At the risk of being spectacularly unhelpful, I think it really depends on the context? For instance if it was ‘we could do x as part of the team building’ and she disagrees - reasonable. If it’s ‘we do x as a matter of course and it was my idea’ - massively rude! Was the subject inviting opinion or comment?

No it wasn't inviting opinion. Basically it's about a campaign we want to run during a global event next week in our office. I suggested a particular tactic, that was her response.

Next year sorry

If she's not involved in the discussion and isn't involved in the work then it's a bit impertinent to just chip in.
