i cant believe this is where i WORK

Original post by ant n tilde

So, I am on a special detail at work and in a 'classroom' setting and not in my normal cubicle.

This detail is pretty intense and everyone is usually very quiet in there and basically does their work. This woman who is NOT involved with the detail walks in and she is talking to some of the women but VERY loudly and disrupting everyone.

Out of nowhere she looks at the girl next to me and says 'Why are you cutting your eyes at me' and the girl, who is the sweetest girl in the whold world looks all shocked and she has NO idea what hte lady is talking about.

So, she starts calling the girl a liar and screaming at her. Since I am an idiot I try to diffuse the situation and I say 'Oh don't worry she was rolling her eyes at me not you' and she misinterprets it and starts saying that the girl was REALLY roling her eyes at ME. Of course, I get all uncomfortable and explain that I was only teasing, and that the girl is very nice and she must have misunderstood. SO she starts screaming at me that i am a LIAR and why did i say the girl was rolling her eyes at me when she wasnt. . .

Now, i get anxiety and everyone in the whole class is looking at me so i turn bright red and I quietly ask her to stop it bc she is making me blush and to just drop it.

Then she over the top starts MIMICING me and fanning her face and screaming 'oh i am a blushing liar, i am a blushing liar!!!!'

so now i break out into HIVES, i feel my face and my ears on fire and i just look down and hope she leaves and eventually she does

i found out AFTER ( of course ) that she is a known alcoholic and comes into work drunk and causes trouble

i never hated anyone as much as i hate this woman and i only talked to her once

like what hte heck!?! she ruined my whole day and now i cant wait to get out of this detail bc i feel like someone should have SAID something to her ( she was obviously in there talking to her friends so they could have stopped her )

keep mini bottles handy to throw at the raging alcoholic, it could be like giving a crying kid candy!

Wow.

First. hugs to you. We've talked about anxiety before, and I can only IMAGINE what that must have been like for you. So bunches of hugs.

Second. You are a fantastic friend to that girl. How nice of you to stick up for her despite this ogre of a woman.

Third. I think I'm TOTALLY missing something (maybe this was answered already - I'm being lazy tonight and not reading all of the posts)...but WHY is this woman ALLOWED inside a place of work if she is intoxicated?! I understand that she has a sickness (alcoholism), but how is that tolerated in a government office?!?!?!?

Thats insanity to me.

You were mature and calm and handled the situation perfectly. She still deserves a good beating. She obviously has a lot going on and doesnt care about herself or anyone around her.

But no one said anything? Did you go to a higher up?> Was it reported? Are you ok going back to work?

i am not saying anything bc i have never seen her before and there is a chance i may never see her again - i am going to leave it be unless something else happens

i am here now - just hoping she doesnt come back!!

and thanks again everyone for the support! i was up all night playing it out in my head -wishing i had kept my stupid mouth SHUT!
