Ok, now I know that's probably not the best choice of words on this site(I'm calmer now to be able to see that), but I don't know how else to title this.
Well, my coworker who just earlier was fine and amiable, and in fact is always friendly with me, blew up at me over something minor and just kept giving me death stares the rest of the day and was very snappy. Really made me feel like ****- I'm a great worker, never been in trouble with management, get compliments from the mangers and such so it just makes me feel pretty ******. nd to think, I practically knocked over another coworker accidentally and apologized once initially and then actually spoke to her later once things had calmed down a bit(it was super busy and we work at a restaraunt) and she was totally fine. So then I have this situation with my other coworker who all of a sudden acting strangely enraged to the point of it being insane and not communicating or wiilling to work through things and it was over something minor.
I call her behavior 'psycho' because it's reminiscent of a forer 'best friend' who was fake (I can see it now) and suddenly went from being my best friend and always being there for me to suddenly hating me and trying to aggravate me into a physical match when I pushed back and stopped letting her boss me around. So yeah. I'm done. I have too many other **** I'm dealing with right now, I don't need another coworker bully. It seems wherever I go, there's always one- ok, like 80% of the jobs I've worked at. It's doesn't help that I'm running on little over 3 hours of sleep from not being able to fall back asleep for some reason when woken up in the middle of the night so I'm a bit emotionally raw anyway.
People are lucky I'm so nice- but I get so upset, they don't know me, what I've been through, what I'm going through, and yet there continue to always be people out there that like to push me around. People, friends and strangers have told me that I have the patience of an angel- not on little sleep I don't.
Of course I would never lose it at work, if anything I avoid a scene and confrontaion- it's not my thing. If I can't resolve conflict in a mature and civil manner, then what the point of trying to interact with the person? Anyway, I'm just glad I don't work tomorrow, and perhaps I'll talk to one of the managers about today's events

well I am glad you do not have to work and you are getting a break from the conflict. it is awful when you have to work with unpredictable people. it is best to just do your best to be kind to them and then stay out of their way. enjoy your day off.

I have also been bullied at 80% of the jobs I have worked at. It is very hurtful. I have been nothing but kind to everyone, I don't deserve this treatment. I feel for you I care about you Feel free to PM me

I dont think I've been bullied at a job yet, but if I ever do, I probably won't handle it well, since I grew up in an abusive household and I dont tolerate people's bad manners or childish attitudes anymore. My bull**** meter has been maxed out. The worst Ive had coworkers do, is just look at me for a few seconds like I'm weird, or try to take advantage of my work schedule by texting me on my off hours trying to get me to cover their shifts. I've also had coworkers simply not help me when I needed extra/better training.

OMG, Im just going to add something to this same thread.
A follow up, said 'psycho'coworeker was there this morning and was all nice and acted like nothing happened!
On another note, I always work mornings on Mondays, like for nearly three months now and all of a sudden Im scheduled tonight and I noticed this while one of the managers was looking at the schedule and she's all 'well you can cover for so -andpso because she called in today." I said sure but that I was also scheduled to work tonight. She said oh, thats not going to work out- So then I quickly texted said coworker and others to see about changing my schedule and then talked her her again about possibly covering said coworker and working a mid and she said she needs me to work tonight because she already pulled so-and so- from tonights night crew to cover her!!! I was already ****ing there! She's such a ****ing *****! She did this on purpose because she doesn't like me- probably because she knows who my boyfriend is and is prejudging me now- they've already butted heads and many coworkers don't like her because she is a known *****! Ugh! I wouldn't have minded so much if not for the fact that my bf and I had plans to meet up with a friend to hang and go to this dance club, and also am meeting her new beau- luckily my friend rented a car and is willing to still pick us up later tonight, but it would've been so much easier if my manager hadn't been such a ***** and screwed me over!

To clarify, the word that keeps getting edited out rhymes with witch
