"Did you take your meds today?"

I think you should work out for 40 hours per week, that should alleviate your stress.0

So here is what you do.
You walk up to her desk with a spaced out emotionless look on your face, drop your pants, and poop in her garbage can. Then stand up, grab her sweater and wipe.
Then suddenly come to, "Oh, my God. Oh, my God. I am SO sorry. I must have forgot my meds today."
Your company will overlook the incident as you have a medical past and a fantastic work record.
She will probably never look you in the eyes again.
You're welcome.
And given your history with bowel movements, no one else will bat an eye...0 -

Smack that ***** in the face and when she looks all stunned... Then say.... Nope... I guess I forgot to take my meds. :drinker:0

Annoying co-worker: "Did you take your meds today? giggle*giggle*giggle"
You [deadpan face/monotone voice]: "You just asked me if I took my meds today...because...it's common knowledge that I'm on medication and sometimes I joke about it, is that right?"
ACW: "Um...yeah...uhhhh...."
You: "Then you giggled because it's funny that I'm on meds?"
ACW: "Well yeah..I mean...no...well what I mean is...."
You: "Your comedic prowess is amazing! The fact that you ask me if I took my meds...because...I take meds! Comedy gold, right there! You are probably one of the funniest people that I've evaaaahh known! Have you ever thought of pursuing stand up comedy? That's brilliant! So clever!" (and so on and so on....)
ACW: {rendered speechless}
Snark. I would definitely use snark.0 -
I vote for "Poop", "Snark"! Also, people are a$$h0les for sure! I hate most of them anyway!0

Sounds like you've got a case of the MONDAYS...or you are PMSing
Total Mondays, I don't PMS anymore
*my vagina is dancing* <---- picture it, you know you want to.
that movie came out in 1990.
which means it was filmed in 1989.
so those kids were all born in 1984.
1984 was 30 years ago.
which makes those kids 30 years old now.
this has been your daily "d'oh! i'm old" commentary. you're welcome. :flowerforyou:0 -
I know what you're saying. Some people cross that line from harmless joking to thinly veiled insults. And just because you're comfortable laughing at your own issues doesn't mean you're someone else's punching bag.
It sucks. Sorry hun.
I think that's why it bugs me even more... We're not really friends. It is a blatant attempt to belittle me each time. And let's be honest, I like to be the only one to belittle others around here! *pouts*
Kick her hole in! Seriously though...that blows..I hate passive aggressive people that pull that crap.0 -

The bolded should be stated LOUDLY so that everyone can hear. Humiliate her properly!0 -

Definitely voting on this one. I feel that taking her aside to talk about it would only make you seem overly-sensitive, which clearly you're not from your responses here. Burn her with withering sarcasm. It'll make you feel better, and guaranteed she'll never mention meds again.0 -

IN for poking fun in multiple butts per day.0

If I forget my meds, I'll have a seizure, potentially causing myself serious brain damage. I'd kinda go postal on someone who so rudely mocked me for the potential for forgetting them.

I feel you. This question makes me stabby as well. It's like saying that you have no legitimate right to your feelings or opinions unless you are medicated, when your mentality clearly consists of much more than that. Also, sometimes other people are just being d***holes, but they still blame you for your reaction to their behavior. Being asked this question actually does make me feel like this:
Sorry, I have been waiting forever to use that gif. But I get where you are coming from. 0 -
That is really a very unkind thing for your co-worker to do. It's hurtful for her to joke about that. This is why it's good to play things close to your vest and just don't put your business on the street. Unkind and uncaring folks will make stupid comments and make your life miserable --- not unlike the little guy on here who says you are pms--ing. What a shallow, stupid, ignorant comment. People make these comments because they're ignorant and unkind.
Since your co-workers already know about your meds, you can't "take it back" and not tell them. But they will come a time when you're out of that environment and then I suggest you make no mention of your health. We give stupid folks ammunition when we tell too much about ourselves.0 -

Admittedly, I learned this lesson the hard way. Knowledge is power, and if you give away knowledge about yourself, then you are giving people power over you.0 -
Have you told her in no uncertain terms to stop?
I haven't yet. Which is my fault, but it's been getting progressively more annoying. Next time, I am promising to myself to address the issue. I hate confrontation at work. I can't just go all commando mode and drop some F-bombs like I want to LOL
I'm all for going commando. Wait, that's not what you meant? I can't believe she's in HR. I would ask her if that was appropriate to joke about someone's health, oooorrrrr, I would tell her someone was making light of the fact that you need meds, and what should you do about it. Then if she asks who that person is, you can tell her.0 -

True. I suck at not oversharing. Suck at it. In this case, I passed out at work my first year here and it was then "out there" and what-not. But in hind-sight, I've screwed up with oversharing and really need to learn to keep my mouth shut.0 -
Tell her that her joke is as worn out as an old hooker, time to find a new one. I'm sure she'll laugh at that one and you can get your point across without being an old buzzard.0

Sorry to hear of your situation.
Maybe you could hand-write a crudely lettered cardboard sign that says, "Before you ask, I took my meds today!" Wear it around your neck a couple of days and when the office moron asks, you can simply point and look disgusted.0 -
Your answer is in your O.P. . Next time she asks if you remembered your meds.. Say "Yeah.. How's your PMS? Feeling better?"
Two or three times and she'll never say it again. .plus.. you'll make your point quite clearly.0 -

I like this idea too!0
