Don't Be Nosy

Especially if you're a complete stranger. I met this woman at work that really bothered me. She walked into the office and right away demanded who I was. Here I am thinking, "I'm wearing a name tag, it says who I am and what I do in this facility. I have to get back to work." I politely answer her with brief answers; I'm working and needed to get stuff done. I thought she'd leave. She still wouldn't let the conversation drop and continues to ask where I worked before, who referred me, what I do besides working here, etc.

Back the hell up and ask my supervisor if you really want to know so bad. You're not even part of the main staff. f you were, I would have seen you around. Of course I didn't say that, but I let her talk until she was done. It wasn't the questions that irked me, it was her attitude. If she approached me like any other normal human being, I would have started a decent conversation. Too bad she acted otherwise.

Her last reaction pissed me off. She asked what I was majoring in and my answer made her frown a little, nod in fake respect, then walk away laughing. What is so funny about majoring in psychology? She starts up a conversation to one of my co-workers that came back to the room I was in. Both women were chattering away in Tagalog, obviously aware that I couldn't understand them. I realized the woman mentioned me and later my studies at school in English and they both laughed hilariously over it. I got really annoyed. It was extremely rude. Who the hell mocks you in front of your face like that? Definitely didn't make my day go any better or faster.

On a lighter note, I'm currently hunting for new restaurants or food to try. Let's keep it to anywhere near Fremont. Any suggestions?

Don't let her get to you. She obviously doesn't know you and chose to judge you on he limited impressions about you. Just be the bigger woman and walk away from it.

P.S. I can kick her ass for you if you want.
