One other thing I wanted to add. I told one of my trusted female coworkers what happened.

She said that the manager (50's) is probably hormonal going though serious PMS. She also has a harsh NY or east coast accent and we all feel this might be where her harsh personality comes from.

My co-worker said that she may just be joking, as some New Yorkers joke like that in a harsh way. It is often hard to discern that type of joking from anger or seriousness with such people. She said in addition to that she probably lacks social graces.

My coworker said, that If I was to confront her, she may get the impression that I cant take a joke and then I'd be on her black list. She said that she may, in some twisted way, feel comfortable around me enough to joke like that.

Should I take this as the excuse for her behavior and just ignore it?

Should I approach her and tell her that I am uncomfortable with her brand of humor and I request her to stop?

Should I record her, and if it continues go to my boss with the evidence?

What do you feel about my co-workers advice?
