So there’s a lady I work with who has a reputation for being a bit difficult when she gets drunk. The thing is, she doesn’t do it with the staff who are ‘her cronies’ so not everyone knows about. It’s happened to others before and me, where she has insulted us when drunk but she’d act very innocent with others and they don’t realise what she can be like. Frustrating but anyway! Last night we were on a work night out. It wasn’t an official one- we went to the bar after the official event. She took a simple
Comment that I made up wrong, and insulted me.
I did say F off to her (I know that I was wrong to do that) as I’m sick of her doing this on work night. She has also said this to me in the past and others!! But I’m pretty shocked at myself as I’m very professional and normally wouldn’t get involved in any drama on a work night out. She told other colleagues that I called her names that are not true, and now I don’t know how to tell people I didn’t say this!! As I don’t know how many people she lied to - I saw her talking to lots of people. AIBU to text and clear the air? Or should I leave it till work tmoro? Or leave it completely? I’m nervous that someone she spoke to will go to our manager and I’ll look bad over her lying about what I said to her!! Help!!
