I work with a person, when we are in the office. But everytime we have been at social events (ie: Christmas parties) they thinks it is funny to insult me. One incident:
another coworker - "so Southerngirl, what are you doing after graduation?"
Me -"Well..." when my coworker interupts
coworker - Mmm. this is good cake.
Me - "...I am going....
coworker - did you hear me? This is great cake.
Me -" ...to head ..."
coworker- "faboulous cake. Let me tell you all..."
I simply smile and let them talk. After a few minutes they look at me and says "Oh! Were you trying to say something?"
I just walked away. Later the original coworker who asked came up and apologized, and I answered her question.
After the incident, I spoke to the coworker about it. Thier response: "I was just teasing. Everyone knows that I was just joking with you."
This is not an isolated incident. It happens at every social event I attend. I have tried not attending, but I am required to be at some.
