I am a pretty non confrontational person. I work with/and right next to Ms.Perfect,so she likes to graciously and not so graciously point out little things I do incorrectly. She's not mean about it, just a little sarcastic and condescending. I usually ignore it, because we sit in a very public setting, front desk at high school where we are high visibility and I figure rather than set something off she is easier to ignore than do battle with. I could wipe her out if we ever verbally got into it. Do you all think I'm wussie to let this all slide, it's just easier, she doesnt really get to me cause in the end I figure arguing gets us nowhere. What do you all think, your opinion matters (a little)

Geez, learn from her.
Then when you know more, you can condescend,
or not, as you choose.

That's a tough situation. I had a problem like that with somebody, so we're getting divorced, now.

artio..thats too funny



for the question...letting it go actually makes you the stronger person and the nicer you are about it the more of an effect it will have.....if she is being condescending its because she wants to fulfill her insecurities in pointing out your mistakes...the problem with that? You don't actually care go ahead and let it just roll off...

Be careful. You may have to deal with the situation because a person can only take so much and then KAPOW they explode.

If she is nitpicking then tactfully tell her you prefer to learn on your own.
If you need her advice as a new person, ask her to lunch. Honey not vinegar.

Don't let it build till you do something you might regret. Especially if you want to keep that job.

Believe me there are people like her in everything you do and everywhere you go. Let her be a lesson on how to deal with them.

Kill her with kindness. Will confuse the hell out of her........

Meh. I'm all about revenge and pranks. Hire a nerd to drop her PC while she is in the middle of working on a document. Then when she loses all her work, just be like.. "You should learn to save your documents so you don't lose them".. in a condescending tone.. Life is short, don't take **** from anybody, it's not worth it if it makes you feel bad.
