in Chit-Chat
I just feel I need to let it out so someone can hear it. I am sick and tired of the middle school drama here at my work. There is one group of girls that act like they are still in middle school. They talk about everyone that does or has something they don't agree with. It is like I am back in MS. Come on, live and let live! To each their own!! I can only imagine what they are saying about me behind my back. I just would like to know but really don't give a flying rats @ss about what they think, but just would like to know exactly what they think of me. They would, in the beginning(been here since July), let me sit and talk with them. Now they stub their noses up at me and pretty much don't even speak to me. One of them won't even look up at me. I don't talk about people, and I try to be the nicest person I can be. I don't think I said anything that could warrant this kind of treatment. But oh well. Sorry for my rambling rant, but thanks for listening.

    Do like Debbie did this week on Shameless. Hold her head under water till she pukes. Do it in front of her friends so they know not to mess with you either. Problem solved.

    I have run into that Middle School Mentality. In Mental Illness that is called targeting. It is funny how many mentally ill behaviors spill over into the mentally healthy population. I am cursed with a bull of a sister-in-law like that. If she doesn't have any dirt, she makes it up, then forgets that it is based on a lie. I just had to shut her out of my life entirely. She has no class.

    Print words of wisdom and secretly post them in the break room:
    Blowing out someone else's candle, really does not make yours any brighter.
    Targeting others with nasty lies just makes you more nasty.
    Some people must put others down to convince themselves they are higher than other.

    You are right,but it can be difficult to be the "bigger person". I am gonna definately start posting inspirational quotes, secretly. That is a great idea.

    so been there. i swear some people never grow out of it. i actually found out two girls at work were emailing about how FAT i was (they justified that they were fatter by saying at least they were older and had kids). it still riles me up and that was four years ago. one of those girls was a perpetual liar...so much so that in the time i worked with her (at two different places), her dad died three times. never found out if he was ever REALLY dead.

    *This*

    To hell with inspirational quotes, and touchy feely little "drop a hints" you do not like their behavior either ignore them and leave them to their world, or show them you aren't a girl they can push around. I'd go over and be like "Hey ladies what's up? Want to hang out?" Maybe they're nice people deep down and just catty on the outside, if they aren't nice you can give them a flushy outside of work and plead the fifth.

    This is typical of any workplace with too many women or even sometimes women in charge... we have a hard time keeping our emotions out of our work lives and sometimes that presents as petty gossip. Be thankful you don't know what they're saying. I used to work with 2 women that would talk about me behind my back in the cubicle next to me and clearly they had forgotten that I was in my 20's and had incredibly good hearing.

    This is whats wrong with women, they assume other women hate them and talk about them when 90% of the time they aren't.

    Have they ever said anything rude to you? You mention that they wont look at you, and that is pretty much the extent of their "middle school" behavior.

    I'm willing to bet it's all you. It's all in your head. Ask them to lunch, make an effort.

    I'm sure that if these women are as bad as you say, then you don't want to know what they are saying cause it isn't going to add anything to your self worth. People that have to cut others down only are doing so cause they are miserable in their own skin and don't even know it. Be the bigger person, always be nice to them and don't give them anything they could use against you later. Remember the Golden Rule - Do unto others as you would have others do unto you! Good luck!

If you only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill sinners do that. If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal? Garden-variety sinners do that. If you only give for what you hope to get out of it, do you think that’s charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does that.

    Very good point, we often have crazy stories stored in our own heads about how others behave and it turns out to be just us worrying about nothing. I can't even imagine a guy wasting his time worrying what another guy thought about him. Not ALL women do this but those that do can really get worked up in the imagination dept.

    That is so sad. But there has to be other women in your office, I hope. Just hang out with them. I work in a hospital, lots of women there. I havent seen to much of this kind of behavior. Best of luck, it does get better. Not ever work place is like that.
