Colleague showing off about upcoming holiday?

[radoxxxx]

Me and colleague wanted the same week off. She got in there first so annoying but first come first served.

She knows I couldn’t have the time off and yet she won’t shut up about her holiday telling me facts about the country, what she’s going to wear and what facial she’s going to get.

Firstly I wouldn’t give a shit about that in any circumstance (sorry to sound miserable but talk about your holiday or dream I’ll probably zone out). But in this situation aibu to expect her to have a little tact to not blab on about it.

It was the only week I could go as friend I’ve not see since Covid will be there.

(Also please no replies of she got in there first, because I know she did and I don’t have an issue with that part at all, it’s the bragging part that’s frustrating me)

I find attitudes like yours very tiresome. Just because you didn't get your request in first it doesn't mean she now has to be ashamed of her holiday.

Probably more fun than people who bore others to death about their holidays and saying really outdated painfully unoriginal “comebacks”.

Yes because ashamed is definitely not an extreme overreaction.

Other way around I would assume she was probably disappointed she didn’t get her holiday so I wouldn’t be there giving her long lists of what outfits I’m going to wear each day on my holiday. Or providing her random facts of the country I’m visiting.

As she had already booked the time off before you asked she may not even know you wanted the same time.
she is probably just excited about her holiday. You just sound jealous.
I love hearing about other people’s holidays and luckily I work with people who get along well and love to listen to what other have planned too. We always chat about holidays at work.
