I guarantee she'll never talk to you again.

That talky co-worker was finally getting on my nerves yesterday that I almost exploded. I just had to tell someone. My supervisor said she would talk to this woman and work everything out. The woman just passed me by while I was working without saying anything. I feel pretty guilty for silencing her and I feel that I'm not so friendly anymore. I just hope I can face her when Monday comes.

But if you wanted to be mean, you could've made a plate of fudge for her made from ex-lax chocolate Good luck.

I went back to work today and the girl just passes me by and gives me the silent treatment. She doesn't say hello to me or even smile at me, just one quick wave. I feel pretty bad for doing this to her and to myself.

Chances are you'll never hear from them again. _________________

However, if you wouldn't have taken action, she would have probably continued to drive you nuts. Your response was appropriate, and she needed to get the message, whether or not she wanted to hear it. I know it hurts now, but in time the dust will settle. If you feel bad, just remember that you did the most tactful thing, and in time, the tension will eventually cease...or maybe she'll be moved to another office.

She realized that I have a right to my privacy and she respects that. Now she's smiling and saying hello to me again. I'm glad I made amends to her and things seem to be back to normal. Now I can sleep better tonight. Thank you all for listening, understanding, and giving me advice during this rough time.

Well the other day, I heard her and my supervisor in another room and it sounded like they were having some kind of shouting match. Then later that day, she got transfered to another part of the building. It seemed like she was getting on everyone else's nerves too. I would've liked to be her friend in the first place if she wasn't so nosy or critical. I'm just glad she's out of my office and I can have a peaceful mind again.
