Having a bit of a grrr moment. Had to go to work this morning on my day off to check in new tenants at a property. Popped into the office to pick up some documents which weren't ready. Chased them only to find out previous tenants not had a professional clean and flat in a bit of a state. In a hurry as meeting new tenants shortly and need to go.
Boss decides to start a debate with colleague about why the documents are so last minute (from an agency). Very loud conversation follows. I am in a hurry. Explain (again) why they do them so late, legal reasons, falls on deaf ears (again) and a load of got air exchanged which is of no help in the current situation.
Colleague then states that I need to organise professional cleaners. No shit sherlock! Then says ring them now to see if they can come immediately. Unlikely but need to check with new tenants their availability and let them know the situation first ie I have thought this through and will sort it out.
Colleague decides to follow me to property to see how bad it it is. Fine.
When we get there proceeds to point out garden maintenance issues that need doing. I tell him it's in hand and I have already sorted it. Ignores what I say and continues to bang on about what needs doing.
This is pretty much a daily occurrence in my job, pointing out the obvious, telling me to do things that I am quite capable of working out myself, pontificating and debating decisions which will be forgotten until the next time.
I have spoken to my therapist about this and he reckons it's a societal thing where people in authority, usually men, don't listen very carefully to people they consider underlings and assume that others needs directing.
Whatever it is I find it very wearing and unnecessary. Aibu? What are your experiences.
