One of my friends is seriously annoying

[bab]

I know her from work and we have been friends for years. Lately I've been getting annoyed by nearly everything she does.
First of all, She is a MASSIVE gossip. I can't begin to imagine the kind of shit she says about me when I'm not around.
She also is extremely negative about most things. Always complaining, everything is a problem.
She got annoyed today because the Pandora charm we got for our admin asst cost $40 instead of $30. Ummm split amog 6 people WHO THE FUCK CARES!! It's that kind of shit. Petty, dumb stuff that is always a problem.
I don't know.

Do you have any asshole friends? LOL tell me I'm not alone!

[Jermys]

I used to.

I have asshole coworkers, so I know exactly what you mean about the gossiping. Everyone spends all day talking shit about whoever isn't currently in the room. They aren't even sly about it at all. Noise travels in my office, and no one bothers to keep their voices down, so half the time you walk past while they're mid shit-talk about you. But the second the group changes, the person being talked about changes, so at least no one can feel singled out?

You are not alone.

This is 100% the atmosphere I am working in. Do you work with all women?

Nearly. We have two male doctors and one guy up front. Other than that, all women. I really miss working with dudes. Bitches be crazy.

Shank her in the eye!

Every year or so I have to ditch a friend for asshattery. I had one girl who called my 8 times back to back on both my phones because I didn't answer. Then she tried to front like she was worried about me even though she knew damned well I was at home with my husband.

I can't really ditch her because we work together. I am VERY selective about what I share with her though. I've learned my lesson.

I guess that means you can't shank her in the eye either. Accidentally perhaps? Just an old slip of the personalized pen mebbe?

[CheshireGrin]

Every once in a while I realize that I don't actually like most of my friends very much. The ones I've met since I moved up here, I mean.

My real friends are on the internet, and that makes me sad. (Not just nesties, but IRL friends in other states who I never get to actually see anymore.)

Yep, rule number one is that there are no secrets at work. If anyone in the office can't know about it; don't. tell. anyone.

[keylimepie]

Ew, yes, one. But she moved across country last year.

She acted so sweet to everyone, always being the helpful friend, always wanting to be the one to listen to all your problems. Then she'd get together with all the other people in our group of friends/colleagues and tell them all about your shit. I mean, I assume she talked about me to them, because she told me all kinds of waayyy too personal things about everyone else. Eventually, I would just make sure to keep conversation topics extremely superficial because it made me so uncomfortable.

My coworkers do this too and they're all men. I quit going to lunch with them because all they did was trash talk the people in the other car. Then be all chummy at lunch, then gossip about them again on the way back.

You can't shank her, but maybe send an errant staple shot her way.
