Sourpuss at workplace

So the woman who’s recently occupied the desk next to mine isn’t as friendly as she appeared when she wasn’t my neighbor.

I’ve noticed that she hardly responds to my cheerful g’morning when I come in and never says goodbye when she leaves in the evening. After making a few more attempts at being friends, I gave up on her.

This morning when I came in, I was taking my coat and stuff off when she turned around and asked me, “What perfume are you wearing? Dolce & Gabanna Light blue?” Since that was the one I had on, I said yeah. And for a moment I thought, “Oh my God, she’s an undercover fashion police! And I am caught committing a serious fashion faux pas by wearing fruity-summery cologne in dead winters.” But no, true to her annoying self, she said to me, “Can you please don’t wear it? I am allergic to it.” In a not so polite tone, more like ordering me, as opposed to asking for a favor. I literally said, “huh? I have to wear perfume.” I know that was a lame answer, but here’s someone who’s never bothered building a rapport and all of a sudden asking me to change my perfume. What if the next thing she tells me is to stop smiling so much cuz she’s allergic to that as well. Will I relent?

If you guys were in such a situation what would you do? One thing I know for sure is that I won’t stop wearing my perfume.

go with her and make her buy you one that she isnt “allergic” to

Y’know what, the best revenge is to give her what she wants. The over-powering curry smell will teach her!

The perfume probably turns her on, she loves you. Thats why shes trying to avoid you. Did you wear that yellow dress? I bet its cos of that.

Overkill her with kindness. Tell her you’ve changed your perfume even if you dont and then play psycho games with her!

I wish I worked in an office.
