   What would you do?
  I'm just curious about what you'd do if you were in my situation.I work in IT at a college, so I'm obligated to support many users at a time during any given day. There is a particular woman (we'll call her "Malicious Bitch") who ALWAYS tries to screw with me when I'm fixing something in the office (she shares an office with another employee). She's always telling me that I should try to get with some girl at work (while the girl is sitting right there in the room).Now, I'm a nice guy, but I know I'm not an attractive guy physically. She does this because she thinks it's funny to pick on big people. I don't bring my personal life to work, but as some of you have read through my posts, my last girlfriend died 4 months ago. This particular shit hits close to home.Currently, I ignore it, but I can only take so much.What would you do? I'm very close to calling the bitch out and cussing her out.   
  Well definitely don't call her a bitch and cuss her out, all that will do is make you look stupid.  There has to be something you can do to put her in her place while remaining calm.  Keeping your cool is important, if you lose it then "Malicious Bitch" will have won.   ;  That's terrible. You should call her out on it.   ;  I would call her out on it. She is creating an uncomfortable work environment for her and if she insists on continuing you can press sexual harassment charges. That crap is obviously uncalled for you would be fully in your right to do so. It may seem excessive, but nobody has the legal right to make someone else feel uncomfortable at their own expense in a work environment.   ;  Don't let her lack of professionalism bring about your own.   ;Quote:Original post by SamithWell definitely don't call her a bitch and cuss her out, all that will do is make you look stupid.

It's kind of hard to stay professional.   ;Quote:Original post by MaegaQuote:Original post by SamithWell definitely don't call her a bitch and cuss her out, all that will do is make you look stupid.

It's kind of hard to stay professional.Well then tell her to eat shit and die, in a very polite, professional manner.  Neither you nor anyone else has to take anything from that girl.   ;  I'd look her square in the eyes and say "I used to have a girlfriend, then she died". It's almost guarenteed to make her feel ackward and hopefully it will make her back off.   ;  Report her to management?   ;Quote:Original post by SamithWell definitely don't call her a bitch and cuss her out!!!There, fixed it. Personally (and I've fortunately never actually had to do this), I say screw professionalism! Of course, this depends on how much you want to keep your job, but I envision the conversation going something like this."Listen bitch! I'm sick and tired of your f%@!ing bull$#!t! So why don't you just mind your own goddam business, stop being an a$$hole to everyone here, and shut the f%#@ up!"Then as soon as she starts to say something, regardless of what it might be:"No! What part of what I just said do you not f%@#ing understand!? Go sit at your mother f%@#ing desk and shut the f@$% up you stupid ignorant whore!"Yeah, you'll probably get fired, but when your boss goes to fire you, use this:"Oh, you're going to fire me?! Just because I tell off some loud mouth bitch? Well you know what? You can take this f#$%ing job and shove it up your mother f%^@ing %@#$ sucking ass, you worthless @$$#%ing piece of @#$%! mother %@#$ing @#%%!!!" Then slap him.Sure, you'll be unemployed, but good lord, it would be totally worth it[wink]
