Ugh..
Permalink   


The one thing I cannot stand is when a coworker from the Front End comes outside and asks me personal questions about my life. They then began to judge me when they don't know sh!t about me. Honestly I NEVER really speak about my personal life; That is why work is called 'work'. You go there, do 'work', and then go home. 

 

The girl in particular likes to ask questions about my life because she thinks her life is so perfect. So she made it her mission to ask about me and my fiance and what we plan to do after our wedding. When I told her I wasn't for sure where we planned to move to, she gave me this snotty look and said: "Well you really should. You don't really want to be married and living at home with your mom, do you? Besides, marriage doesn't mean much anymore except that your last name changes." I about hit her. Firstly: I do not appreciate her trying to bring me down on what I view marriage as. And how dare she judge me when her chunky a$$ runs to Mcdonalds everyday to eat lunch? I have nothing against weight or anything; But when you judge others and then complain to coworkers that you're always broke and barely can afford food and then I see you go to Mcdonalds everyday.. Well you're just a hypocrite and not worth the trouble.

 

Just ranting, Sorry :)

I would have "politely" told her that "we'd be ok and can handle everything on our own. And if we need help we'd ask our parents. No need to concern oneself in OUR affairs."

But then again, knowing me, that would result in a trip to the manager's office for a talk on my "attitude." Or just tell her "we got this. No need to worry."

How many people told her to "butt out of their business?" Bet she gets pretty mad if they tell her that.

Just start lying to her, about every single thing in your life. Make it so outrageous and ridiculous that it's clear as day that you're lying. When she realizes she'll never be able to get a straight answer out of you about your life, she'll stop asking. Remember, your personal life is your personal life, so you're under no obligation to answer her honestly. Just make it not worth her time to ask such personal questions by simply lying about everything.

If she asks: "What do you plan to do after you get married?", tell her something like "We plan to fly to mars and start a new colonization project there, but only after buying an island off the Pacific to run our new secret lair we're planning.". Keep a straight face and say it as if it were completely true, and then go about your business. After a while of getting answers so ridiculous and obviously not true, she really won't have much fun trying to rub her life in your face. She'll have nothing to play off of because everything you say will be so fantastically better than anything she's doing, no matter if it's true or not. Starve her of the information she wants by feeding her bs, consistently and constantly.

In fact, go one step further and start volunteering extra information. Be annoying about it. Go out of your way to explain things she has no interest in, to the point where she wants nothing to do with being around you. She asks a question? Spend 10 minutes answering that one question, and don't let her interrupt with interjections or opinions. Take the fun out of it for her, and she'll stop.

We have one lady at our store who asks everyone about there business but wont share any of her own story and to top it off she's a big mouth and repeats everything she hears. So, we started making up **** just to see how fast it gets around. Even after we blatantly told her one of the stories wasn't true she still repeats it. It was about a girl transferring to another store. It was months ago and big mouth keeps asking when is she leaving. LOL

 LOL, brilliant.  I always like talking about my picture on Americas' Most Wanted website.  I tell coworkers it isn't me.

 Many people have. Ironically those are the same people who have also got called up to the boss's office for having a 'hostile attitude' towards other coworkers. How the hell is telling someone to mind their own business 'hostile'?

 Oh gosh, I really should xD See, I have this way of telling her a complete lie about something, and sure enough word gets around and people will ask me about it. I honestly don't see how my life or anyone else's life is that interesting when you're at work. I don't go to work to try and get along with people or to tell them my whole life story. I go there for the paycheck and that's it. It amazes me that this seems to be one of the biggest corporations where the workers are so interested in everyone else's lives. I know they call themselves a 'family', but I do not see Kroger as a family. They're my employer and that's all they will ever be. So now when she sees me she sneers at me or rolls her eyes because I do not acknowledge her at all. Most of the time I come in to shop on my days off, and she scowls when she sees my fiance and I together. Am I really that big of a deal? Of course, she's one of those workers who won't do her damn job and they won't fire her because she's been at the store for so long. BUT.... If her life is so perfect.. Then why does she still work at Kroger?

 Probably because she hates being told to mind her own business. I do like the others' suggestions of giving false info on your personal life and taking long to answer a question. Whichever you do, good luck

 Haha, you clearly don't know what "thirsty" means in this context.

 

Urban Dictionary it.

 

But seriously, this annoys me, but what annoys me a bit more are those who pretty much tell their whole life story.  Someone does this at my store, and I get it, she's lonely.  But there are some things that shouldn't be said.

 Actually, I know what she meant.

I simply hoped that making a horrible joke would entertain someone, and you laughed so... MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

You've been reading my comments for how long now? ;)
