Read Robert Sutton's book "The No-Asshole Rule"! He's a business professor from Stanford and the book is both intelligent and practical.
People shouldn't have to put up with behavior that's humiliating or manipulative.
Typically, people wind up resigning which costs companies a lot in lost talent and rehiring costs.
My blog reviews Sutton's book. That's the first link below. The second is to Sutton's website.

Well, let me first start by saying the #1 way not to deal with it..and that is DO NOT go talk to other employees about it. Keep your opinions of your co-workers and boss to yourself. Sometimes people try to use what you say their advantage and it's just unprofessional. Now, what should you do..well nowhere is perfect but if it is too difficult to handle you could a.) seek a different job b.) look into a conflict resolution program or c.) kill them w/ kindness!! Killing them with kindness doesn't make you a fake person, it makes you the better person and if they dont like it, then they have a problem!! :) Good luck!

The best thing you can do is continuously remind yourself that this is just a job, and at the end of the day it doesn't even have to phase you.
At my last job I had to work very closely with someone who didn't care to be a team, and management refused to be a part of anything confrontational, or even act like they cared.
After getting mad day after day, I finally just decided to concern myself only with my job and not let myself get so upset by the actions of others.
You can either do this, or take further action and find another job where you think you'll be happier, just remember it's likely that at any job, there are difficult people.

It greatly varies from job to job. If you really like what you're doing and that's what you want to do, it's harder, because you know you have to get along as this is your career.
Right now, what I'm doing is just a job to me. So I walk in in the morning, do my day and collect a check. So I don't get mixed up in office politics. If somebody doesn't like me, that's their problem. But that place is not where my dreams lie, so it doesn't really matter and I just try to get along with everybody.

Just ignore it because you only need to worry about yourself, if not actually contront the person about it in a nice manner, or complain higher up if he or she still bothers you. I filed sexual harrassment on a co-worker. If its serious it will get taken care of right away.

Given a choice of numerous strategies of various levels of overall effectiveness, I have found that the way that works best for me is to put ants in their pants.

Tell them to F off. Usually when I find myself in your situation, I look for a new job.
