Keep your comments to yourself!

She's probably TRYING to get to you! Don't let her know it's working OR comment back. When she says something about you hair bad or good. "That's a different style" Say "Thanks! I'm so blessed with having good hair!" "Are you dancing or working?" Say "Both! I have really awesome mutli-tasking skills!" Snide comments- but also positive- help sometimes. Or you can always try the forward approach "I'd appreciate it if you'd keep you comments to yourself when you pass my desk. The comments you make are distracting me from my job." Good luck! My mother in law always comments on everything. I am more of a snide comment person- so it usually shuts her up for a couple minutes at least!

i have a lady who is obsessed with my eating. Because i always turn down donuts, sausage rolls etc (being good!) when im eating my sandwich or some she always goes "omg get a camera shes eating!" or "OMG SHES EATING!" does my head in!!
I would punch her! LOL.
I'm guessing she's the ringleader of the donut eaters in your office?
I'd make the same comment, only say "OMG...she's NOT eating...get a camera"...maybe she'll get a clue.
Ooooh would she like some ice to go with that burn? LOVE IT!
yeah she is the one tha always buys them for the office...that is a great idea! lol

Be nice! Nothing turns off a busybody more than smiling, saying thank you for noticing and then paying them a compliment. Now I'm not saying you need to turn the other cheek, but well placed "dripping with honey" sarcasm works too!
Like boomboom said be overly pleasant! Plus it makes'em wonder what you are up too.0 -
yeah we have a lady who does that too.0

I'd do the opposite, start walking by her desk every 15 minutes for one day and make comments til she got the point. But I'm a vindictive type of person.
Me too.0 -

mmmm....sarcasm. And honey!0 -
Not at work, but I have a couple of people in my life who feel the need to comment negatively about everything I do.0
-
HAHAHAHA... you should say "OMG take a picture, she's eating ANOTHER donut!" LMFAO!!!! Probably not the most mature thing, but it would be FUNNY! :laugh:0
-
Just ignore her.. People like her just feed off of negativity.. We all are beautiful in our own way... some people just dont wanna see that.. SMH...0

Yes, and I'm in cubicle hell. She's loud and likes to talk. So many times I'm turning bright red because whatever she's talking to me about (i.e: "ooooooooh what did you bring ME TO EAT??" when she saw a cake caddy on my desk or "ooooooh pretty flowers, what's the occassion?!??!?!? I better get flowers like that!!!"), everybody can hear it!0

There's a lady I work with who does the same thing. No one likes her, it's like she has no concept of what's ok to say vs. not. She's asked me if my daughter was going to have a playmate at home (No, I'm not pregnant!), made comments like she's lucky she never gets pimples because it would suck to have to walk around with something so big on your face... and she even tried to touch me once. I had just had several moles removed and she came into my cube out of the blue and said "Oh, is that infected?" I turned around at the sound of her voice and saw that she was reaching forward to poke my "mole hole"
1) If it looks infected, WHY do you WANT to touch it??
2) Don't flipping touch me. Ever.
3) No it's not infected, retard, skin was burned off.
Wow, that was a good rant. Thanks guys lol.
LOL This made me laugh so hard! "WHY do you WANT to touch it?" :laugh:0 -
HAHAHAHA... you should say "OMG take a picture, she's wating ANOTHER donut!" LMFAO!!!! Probably not the most mature thing, but it would be FUNNY! :laugh:
i would be very tempted...i'll bring a camera in haha!

OMG this is hilarious! I am sorry you had to deal with that! YIKES. The pimple thing- you should have said- "Better to have ugly on the outside than inside!" LOL. Still laughing, "Mole hole". Imma use that one.0 -
Yep- but I'm not exacty PC so "F*** Off" works for me.0

Sounds like she is trying too hard to get your attention. Maybe she is lonely0

Everytime I think of moles, I think of Austin Power's Gold Member "Mooooooole........moley moley moley"0

I will never understand why people are like that. My husband's ex girlfriend always has something to say when she comes to pick her kids up for the week. It is always something mean and hateful and I wish I could punch her in the face!0
-
What kinda things does she say? Is it derogatory comments? Snide remarks?
She just passed by a minute ago and said, "purple nurple"...I have a purple shirt on today. On Monday my hair was braided on one side, similar to a mohawk and she said, "well isn't your hair snazzy today". Some day's she'll just say, "TRC" which is the initials of my church. It's always just dumb stuff, she doesn't even stop, just kinda yells it out and keeps going.0 -

**** her! My favorite quote as of late is, "A positive attitude my not fix all of your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth your while." If the power of positivity doesn't cut it, be sure to point out one of her flaws everytime she does it to you. She'll stop quicker than you can tell her to go *kitten* herself.

Oh yeah, we made jokes about getting MOLEsted and the like for several weeks after the "incident" LOL
Moley, moley, moley!0 -
She sees you happy and wants to rain on your parade! Misery lovveeesss company. Keep your head up, she probably leads a miserable life and her comments is all she has. You got it going on !
This! And yes I have one to...so I know ignoring it at times is way easier said than done 0 -
so she's just a dork? ok i get it. that just means you can start saying goofy comments to her like makin' copies, the copinator! copa-roosky etc
please do it! i would love to hear some of the clever stuff you came up with .0
