Ok so possibly very petty but it’s really starting to irritate me! We have a cleaner at work who cleans our floor of the building every day. During the day I (and a lot of other people) have to walk between offices multiple times a day which often is when she is mopping the corridors between the offices.
Last week she saw me turn the corner and actually said ‘for fucks sake’ because I was walking down the corridor. This week as I asked to squeeze past her in the corridor she actually threw her mop down in a strop and huffed at me so I asked where else I was meant to walk and she just replied ‘as long as I don’t slip’. She wont not let you use the bathroom if she’s in there etc - work in healthcare so it’s often trying to nip to the loo when possible. When I mentioned I really don’t like her swearing or scowling at me daily, people have just said she might hate her job etc like that’s an acceptable reason to be rude to other people in the building? Am I BU for not accepting that as an excuse to be rude daily?
