B. Good Vents - The Co-worker
Eck, I’m irritated with my co-worker. She’s one of those people who always volunteers their opinion on everything you say or do, whether you asked for it or not. And I mean, everything.
Today, I walked up to her and another co-worker (I actually wanted to ask the other co-worker about a work related issue). They asked me if I’d eaten lunch yet. I told ‘em no. They asked what I was having? I said a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. This heffa wants to make a face at me. “Thats only something I’ll eat when I’m really really hungry, cuz then everything tastes good. But I won’t eat it just because.”
Well woo-fuckin’-hoo for you. Its a good thing your ass isn’t eating it for lunch today, ain’t it? Nobody asked you for all that commentary.
Thats why I don’t talk to her. She ALWAYS got somethin’ to say. And once I snap on somebody……its no longer a friendly matter. I’m tryna maintain peace and prosperity in the workplace, but to quote Maxine Shaw, Attorney-at-Law……she’s tap dancing on my last nerve.
“Hey B, I wanted to know if……oh……thats a neat shirt. But I’d never wear something like that because I don’t like the way it (insert some bullshit ass reason).”
Bitch, I don’t care! Why do you feel the need to comment on my shirt that you wouldn’t wear and aren’t wearing??? Mind your own cot jamn business!!
And she’s not bright. I think that irritates me more than anything. I’ve been in this position 2 months……she’s been doing this almost 2 years……why do I know more about the process than she does? Why do I have to ask the girl that’s only been here 1 year for answers to questions that homegirl can’t give me straight answers to???
Grrr……

lmao. Andrea’s comment is hilarious. I’m so feeling you on the coworker thing today. but on the real i have a friend who may be worse…she’s like “hey girly, is that a new shirt yo have on, i’ve never seen that one before.” and it is like, was your comment requested or called for. NO. somethings don’t need to be said unless asked for. And these kind of people SHOULD be left talking to themselves.

The best thing I can say about that is this:
Stupid people say stupid things…
If you can remember that, you’ll be ok, for real. Or just say something like, “Well, if you don’t like it, you can buy me something else if you want…
