Is this considered overreacting to an insult from a coworker?!


Question: Is this considered overreacting to an insult from a coworker!?
About a week ago, a coworker asked me how my weekend was!. I said that I had the chance to play some golf, and it was fun because I don't get to play it very often!.

Her response, in a very serious and non-joking tone: "You suck horsesh*t"!. Then she went back to her desk and didn't speak to me for 3 days!.

When she finally did speak to me, I calmly told her that her previous comment was immature and unprofessional!. She told me that I need to "lighten up"!.

I think her behavior was inappropriate!. What are your thoughts!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Her comment was inappropriate!. I think you did the right thing by addressing it with her!. If she makes other comments that are similar in nature, I'd take it to the supervisory level!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Um!.!.!. NO!. I don't think you are overreacting at all!. I actually think you are handling it very well because I would not have been so calm!. I don't think you need to "lighten up", I think she needs to "shut the hell up" and not be such a jerk!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She was obviously being a c*nt, and she was probably jealous because she doesn't get the chance to play golf!. Let it roll off your shoulder, don't let her bad attitude bother you so much, you will meet a lot of people like her throughout your life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well i have a feeling that there is more to this story!. i really dont think you are telling the hole truth!. i dont think someone would just respond like that!. if however you are being truthful, then no you were completely appropriate and she was completely innapropriate!.

The b***h is crazzzy!. You should probably just forget about it and move on!. Me!? I would have thought "what just happened" and then forgot about it!. I have known people like that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She's an idiot, I'm sorry!. I think you handled this beautifully!. Lighten up!? her maturity level is in the gutter and I'd ignore her and avoid her as much as possible!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She is probably gorked out on some drugs or something, maybe she has a crush on you and wanted you to chase her!. I would stay away from her and keep your distance!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

If she didn't talk to you for 3 days then I don't think you're over reacting at all!. She's the one with the problem, and I'd be pretty mad at her too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My thoughts!? Avoid her!Www@Answer-Health@Com
