To think my colleague was rude

I had to handover a piece of work to a colleague today so I put in a 15 minute Teams meeting at her request. It was a simple handover that I could have done over a Teams message, but she wanted a meeting which is fair enough.

I started the meeting and made a bit of small talk, just asking how she was as I don't speak to her much as we work on different accounts. She then said ‘I’ve got another meeting in 15 minutes so can you just get on with it’. I also had another call in 15 minutes so obviously wasn’t going to make the meeting run over.

I’m not chatty or outgoing, and hate unnecessary small talk, but this was literally a polite ‘hi, how are you?’

This colleague is really confident and outgoing and everyone really likes them, whereas I’m very quiet and reserved, and I feel like because of that she doesn’t respect me.

Aibu to think she was rude? Or was she just wanting to hurry things along

Well, that thread went south pretty quick...

Wth!

OP, she's a rude twat if what happened is exactly how you've written it. However, a million reasons why she would've said what she said- being annoyed at being allocated work she didn't want, already too much on her plate, etc. or if, as crab is claiming she's your colleague, you faffing around and not getting to the point. Basically, a non-issue in my eyes.

Urgh ignore the bitch from now on OP. Never ask the twat how she is.

Be grateful you don't have to work with her!!!

Wow, that was rude. Why ask for call if you can't even be bothered to say hi, how are you?

Definitely rude. Be less helpful next time she asks.
