It's hard to ignore her. She sits in the cubicle next to mine. She displays wildly outrageous behavior. Example: Today she questioned me when I retrieved a yogurt from the company refrigerator. Said she had one like it, and continued to grill me about it. I calmly explained that I had one too. She only has 60 days before her contract runs out, but I'm not sure if I can survive this madness.
How would you handle someone like this?
I am pleasant and patient with her, but I'm not sure for how long.

She might be attracted to you.

i worked with a chick like this except she was so trailer trash red neck that you could barely walk into a room without her flying off the handle. we had an arrguement in the dining room one day while setting up a banquet. we were almost done when i noticed that the flower arrangements were hideous and i commented that a caveman could do better.(turns out she made them)she flipped out and threw a vase at my head, i ducked but after that she got fired. just try not to talk to her and write your name on your food so she cant accuse you of taking hers, if all else fails start keeping mase in your desk incase she gets crazy.

Don't engage in long argumentative conversations with her. For example, tell her firmly that this is your yogurt and not her's. If she is concerned, tell her to go check the fridge and see if her yogurt is still there. I'd only tell her twice what my point was and after that I'd refuse to continue the conversation.

Have some fun with her. Keep putting the same flavor in the fridge 3 times a day & accuse her of eating all of it.

Report her. If you let this madness continue, you may regret it. If shes mentally unbalanced you never know when the situation could turn dangerous-do it for your own saftety and others who work there.

with the food in the fridge, put you name on it, so when she says 'thats mine' kindly show her that it is in fact your's. Just try to ignore her as much as possible. if you have to deal with her do it nicely then when you are done, go back working.

I would inform the supervisor. You have a right to work and not be harassed.

Tell her, albeit nicely, "leave me alone". That usually works.

Talk to her and express your feelings.
