This girl that was supposed to give me shift report literally always has an attitude, and when I showed up she rolled her eyes, threw up her hands, shook her head, and shoed me away. Since she's always like that (I did nothing to her, she's just a hater, similar age), I didn't let it phase me. I left for a few minutes and someone asked me why I wasn't over there. I just answered that she shoed me away because she wanted her full hour, leaving out all the other stuff to save face. The other girl said oh ok and we continued talking. I was going to go back in a few minutes, but I wanted to give her space.

Another coworker facing the other way behind me, not in the conversation, one who always acts like she's better than me/never talks to me like a human, immediately got up without saying anything to us and exaggerated what I said, telling her I said she told me to leave and shoed me off, and the girl started yelling disrespectfully and acting aggressive (and denying it of course, which is why I never confront her) and left yelling in front of everyone without giving report because of what the other girl told her. After she left I started by asking the one that told her, if she told her. She flat out denied it even though the girl that was pissed off said she did. She denied it bluntly and unemotionally, like she couldn't care less. I acted like I believed her and verbally gave her the benefit of doubt because I wasn't expecting her to lie so blatantly and didn't want more drama after what she just caused.

Am I in the wrong to be pissed in general for her stirring up the pot?? They are always talking about other people and I know they would be pissed if I told everyone what they say so I don't understand what was going through her head besides wanting to stir up drama.

Obviously I'm never gonna tell even a half truth again, and just lie for her every time she acts like a bitch, but I'm so pissed right now. I've never been disrespected so many times. I'm leaving in a few weeks but it's not soon enough.

Yes, I know about straighter line, but I'm wondering if any of these classes can be done at study

I'm from Seattle where summers (on average) up to 85 degrees. I want to move to Alaska so bad because I hate the heat that much but I have to live on the east coast for a few years. Where should I go?

Andd preferably within like 6 hours of Cincinnati. And has a visible job market

Currently, I'm considering Buffalo, New York and Chicago

Should I:

​

a) Keep ignoring them and pretend I don't notice?

​

b) Ask someone they talk to a lot?

​

c) Bring it up to them directly even though they've never been nice to me?

​

Let me know please.

​

I (F25) don't want to start anything with them or HR but I've been wondering what I did to make this guy mad that works adjacently to me and cross interacts daily since I started working six months ago. I've ignored the disrespect so far but it feels he's ramping it up

​

I'm a year younger than them but usually he acts as though I'm much younger. He'll shoot me with mean glares and then roll his eyes like I'm dumb and complain why I don't ask someone else when I ask him something. (Like where to find X, normal work stuff)

​

When I was new I asked him where he was from to break the ice because he was complaining about having nothing to do, he put his hand up to my face without saying anything and I thought that's the most disrespectful thing anyone's ever done.

​

mind you he talks to everyone but me and makes a point to act like I'm invisible even when I have to walk past him to the point of almost tripping me. He does this in front of my coworkers. It happens everytime so I'm not blowing it out of proportion or anything but you tell me. And stuff like that happens.. often.

​

I think it's ok to dislike/ignore someone but not to that extent for no reason especially since I do try to be professional with him. I would appreciate it if they could tone it down as it has interrupted my otherwise good day several times and I'm tired of bad looks and was wondering if others knew of something I had done when I started or to not take it personal.

​

I'm not the best at reading people and don't want to start anything and have not brought it up to anyone. I was going to ignore it as it doesn't matter to me if someone doesn't like me especially as we are in two different positions but it's gotten a bit too obnoxious for my taste. Everyone else there is professional and polite and I don't want to fall into any traps.

​

If this helps anyone, they're extroverted, from the same country so it's not a cultural thing, will talk out loud if no one's listening, comes from a rich family, wears the same jacket every day, kind of average looking, basically just a normal yet extremely talkative guy that I would probably be friendly with like everyone else if they weren't being this way. I haven't seen them be mean to anyone else

​

I'm the opposite, I don't talk a lot but I'm nice and the only time I tried to talk to him about something non work-related was when I tried to break the ice (mentioned earlier). After that I gave up hoping he would come around after seeing how professional I am but nope

​

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I'm pretty passive and try not to focus on negative things too much but if anyone has good advice I'll take it.

I feel like I haven't seen good news in a long time. What are you telling people to do nowadays?

Just found out that I have to change my start date from summer 1 to fall 1 because the aid for 26/27 doesn't start until August 31. Just thought I'd put this out here in case it helps anyone who didn't qualify for 2025/2026.

Edit: not everyone has approved aid for the years 25/26. This is for the people that are waiting for 26/27. Most schools start 26/27 on June 1st. Umpi doesn't accept 26/27 aid until August 31.

Do NOT listen to the people who didn't read my post in the comments. They are eligible for 25/26, which isn't applicable to this post. This information came straight from the financial aid office.

I'm an ethnically half white and half indian girl, don't know my indian side of the family since my dad (whose family legally immigrated here) abandoned me and my caucasian mother as a baby. I was born in rural America and look, act, and talk like every other American. I don't have ethnic features besides my light tan skin color. Skinny with casual athletic wear and long straight hair is how I usually look. People tell me I look pretty but I guess that doesn't matter.

Tell me why at work, old or middle aged people who are white Americans greet me in spanish. Sometimes black people do too. I'm not Hispanic. If I tell them I only speak English, they say "well you don't look like it!" and proceed to be rude through our interaction, other times random people will tell me to go back to my country in spanish or people tell me I will be deported/to go back to my country if I don't give them an answer they like. Usually it's a complete personality change from them being nice to instantly racist after I can't do something for them because of the policy.

This has never happened before, even in the rural town I grew up in as a kid no one said anything racist to me, until now. It's pretty much a weekly occurrence. It's starting to make me want nothing to do with anyone anymore.

All this is happening in a blue city and state. I really don't know how to get these racist people to leave me alone? I can't change my skin color. Also, I don't know what to say that won't get me fired.

disclaimer: just because I was born somewhere rural doesn't mean me or my mother is republican. we are against trump and this is not fake, this stuff all happened to me within the last year. Looking for advice or someone to vent to. I don't want upvotes. dms are also welcome
