Not sure where to put this so I post it here.

I work with a female co-worker who exhibits the following personality traits. I'd like you to tell me how you would diagnose her and how should I interact when dealing with her. I will bullet point them for simplicity.

- Drives a prestigious model car. often looks down on those who drive common makes and models. She once commented that she went to see a house for sale and the was shocked that the Real Estate Agent didn't give her more respect because of the car she drove.

- Always dresses better than any other woman in the office with fashionable clothes and full make up, almost if she is trying to outdo others. Almost every day she has come to the office with a different designer coat on with the collar upturned as if she's trying to be a fashion diva or something.

- Aloof and condescending toward coworkers and clients. Not so often in parallel to where it alienates herself. If it was chronic we would hate her. Coworkers still like her because she is off and on. One of my friends at work overheard her saying to a client who walked in the door .. "Make it quick because I'm getting ready to leave work soon!"

- Walk up to her desk to ask her a question and she is curt, rude, harsh and dismissive.

- Ask her to include you in on something, give her a suggestion and she may quip: "Listen, I don't like to be bossed around!"

- I walked from the parking lot to the front door to our office. She drove in the lot as I was walking across and she didn't even slow down kept barreling though. I had to move out of her way.

- Very personable and giddy with the men in the office, and will often go up a male coworkers desk to socialize, laugh and giggle. It seems almost flirtatious in a way, even though she is married. Women have to come to her desk if they wish to socialize with her as she won't go out of her way to socialize with women.

- She enjoys talking about herself, her husband, her family. Sometimes it comes off as bragging and self centered. One time she was at my desk and she mentioned her husband had to wear a suit to formal event and she quipped .. "..Oh, and my husband looked soooo hot!". OMG I felt like I was gonna gag when I heard that. Please lady, please spare me.

...and on, and on, and on..

So what do you think? What is the best way to handle someone like that? Have you ever run into a person like that? Thanks for the help
