Annoying co-worker

[ILoveTheSound]

This woman is so socially awkward...she KNOWS I have allergies, this is my FIFTH spring working in this office, and this time of year is always bad. So why oh why is the first thing out of her mouth every morning, "Are you sick? You sound awful." Thanks, dummy. That's the first thing I wanna hear every day.

I wish I worked with someone who appreciated my sneezes!

Maybe you do and you just don't know it!

[Just Older]

Maybe she wants you to be sick, and then you can have a conversation about it, and she'll enjoy it. LOL

It's gotta suck though that you're being constantly told you sound awful. Aww.

.....also, when people say "oh you've got a cold" as if they are helpfully informing you, cos obviously you wouldn't know you had a cold without someone telling you.....

Arrrrgh!

[Skiffy]

Yeh, I hate when people point out how ill you are (or seem due to allergies). It just feels like an insult, but you're not meant to feel insulted so you have to act like they're doing you a favour. It makes me kinda frustrated and angry.

You know, I never thought about that! *anxiously awaiting getting into the office tomorrow to see if I can find out who my sneeze admirer is!!*

Maybe she's just trying to draw you into conversation about your sneezes...

Ugh, I hate that. I hate it being pointed out in any way that I sound or look like shit when I have a cold or allergies. Unless it's by a hot stranger or by one of my girlfriends. Otherwise, leave me alone.

Arrrrgh!

That sounds EXACTLY like this particular woman...she clearly thinks she's smarter than everyone else so I wouldn't put it past her to think I wouldn't even know if I had a cold! Arrrrgh, indeed!!!

[Butch]

ILoveTheSound - UGH! That is so irritating! I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

I agree with Nicole that it's one thing if it's a hot stranger or a friend.. but otherwise..really annoying.

"You sound awful." If you WERE sick, would she care, or does she just want to be right? Geez.

I, on the other hand, love when people notice that I'm sick and comment on it. I like getting to bring my colds to work for show-and-tell. If I sound crappy enough, people will bring me tea.

That's so interesting to me! Gosh, I would feel like sinking into the ground if someone at work brought me tea. I could have the goddamn plague and I'd be telling people, "I'm totally fine, really. I feel great! No, honest. I'm really feeling 100%."
