It sounds like you are pretty spot on, well done - I know when you have a history of being bullied these situations can be triggering, good for you that you identified that and aim to rise above it.

I think that you're right and that I should do just that. I walk away from them now. Literally. Just see my above response to Christina. They are still up to their childish mind games.
I think that the fun is wearing off for them though as one girl smiled at me later that day and I gave her a cold look. The bully said bye to me and one other guy. I ignored her. Should I at least try to be polite and say hi & bye or would it be OK to flat out ignore her?
Why would they target me when I've been nothing but nice to them? I didn't do anything to them at all! Yes, it is triggering to me. I hate bullies and I don't put up with crap from them anymore. Especially outside of work. Example, when people have called me fat to my face, I told them off, ha!
Unless something truly heinous happens, then I doubt management will give a damn about things, ugh! The bully is kind of a suck up and she's already friends with everyone and the managers. Especially the male managers. So I doubt anyone would believe me anyways no matter what unless I had solid evidence to back things up with, ugh.
