Angry Co-Worker drama

So there's a new girl at work, who just doesn't seem to have her head on straight. She's the same age as me, and seriously doesn't appreciate the body that she has and the things she has fortunately. This girl seriously throws money around like no tomorrow. She's about 5 foot and is tiny girl. I asked her what she likes to do in her spare time and she said, "Honestly I just got lipo, so now I find myself spending hours on end at the gym." She's only 20 and suuuuper small. She said she only took off 15 ish lbs I asked her if she worked out before, she said she never bothered. I told her she could have saved a lot of money if she tried to just lose the weight naturally by eating better and excercising, but she said she was too lazy then and didn't want to wait to see results. She said she likes it now, because it came off instantly and now she just works out to keep her small. Then she says, "I'm still big because I'm healing. I want more." I asked her why she decided to get it, why couldn't she just wait to see results by being healthy, and she said, "Because I feel like guys think I'm fat everytime they turn me down." GEEZ! She's so tiny! I asked what her parents thought, she said they didn't care because it was her money (yet she says her job pays well, when in reality her position doesn't pay that well. She's under me! I can't help but think her parents paid for it.) Then she starts trashing her Mother saying, "Plus my Mom can't say anything, she's fake and super plastic." OMG my jaw dropped! I understand some people really get work done to help them with their own issues and for their self esteem, but the girl isn't even getting it done for herself. It's to make other guys think she's hot! She's still not happy with herself.

I didn't have a problem with her because of her bad attitude about her body and the respect for her family, but I did have a problem with her later in the day when she sprayed bleach all over me when she was trying to clean something. I told her which bottle to use 6 times, and she still used the wrong one. A few hours later another co-worker notices my grey dress has a bunch of pink dots all over it. The new girl bleached my dress. I go to her and politely tell her, "Hey, remember when you sprayed me??" And she cuts me off saying, "Yah I bleached you, I sprayed the post-its and they changed colors as well." And I look at her apalled, and she just says, "Get over it, I'll buy you a new one" In the rudest way EVER. I asked her why didn't she use the right bottle and she says, "I'm too lazy to get another bottle, plus I can't tell the difference." I tell her, "Their all different colored, and they have labels!" She replys, "I'm too lazy to read for it." And I just say, "Fine you owe me then, that'll be $110" I haven't said anything about the dress since, and it's not even that I want the money, I just seriously can't stand the way she handled it. It was so half assed. She treats no one with respect, not her co-workers or family, or her own body. I'm just frustrated, when I meet people who are so unappreciative and so negative I feel like yelling at them telling them they need a reality check!

Sorry, just a taddy frustrated working with someone who acts worst than a 12 year old!!

I'd definitely make her pay for the dress. It was careless of her to ruin it, and the fact that she has no remorse makes it even worse.

Why does this girl even have a job there? Sounds like she needs either some kind of corrective action, or to be fired.

Urgh, that is exactly the kind of background information I don't care to know or need to know about anyone I work with. I really don't care about anything that's irrelevant to how someone performs at their job.

Unfortunately, it sounds like this girl is just unstable all around. I'm sorry she sprayed you with bleach -- that is really bizarre. I wouldn't make her pay for the dress, depending on what kind of workplace you work in -- is there a lot of turnover? Is it a professional office environment or retail? If it's a professional office environment without a lot of turnover, just suck it up.

It doesn't sound like she's going to last at your company, so I'd just wait it out. She will eventually p*ss someone off enough and she'll either quit or get fired. Just be patient!

As far as the plastic surgery goes, I think she's lying to get attention. She seems like a habitual liar. Whatever she says I'd just take with a grain of salt. Don't worry, if you give someone like her enough rope, she'll hang herself with it.

i know it just adds to your general annoyance towards her, but how much lipo she gets or how callously she chooses to spend her parent's money really has nothing to do with anything. i agree that she does seem immature. i would just ignore her. workplace dramas are just not worth the hassle and additional stress. when you do have to deal with her, make sure that you're succinct, so you don't have to converse with her for more than you absolutely necessary. i would confront her about your damaged dress. she owes you money for that.

Yep, I agree that her money and her family isn't the problem, it's her excuses at work. You see her as "A", but in reality she is a "Z". You see all she has going for her, she sees herself as what she CAN'T do. Her maturity level is about a 12 year old, and something tells me she's never been taught to accept responsibility.

If she's under you on the corporate ladder, is it part of your job to supervise her? The bleach incident shows she can't follow instructions, (who bleaches post it notes??) and whether she ruined your dress or the companies computers, (which I have a feeling she probably has done damage to co. property) the fact remains she's careless. But instead of saying "she ruined my dress" I would tell her supervisor she was careless with a cleaning product you told her not to use.

Too lazy to LOOK at a colored bottle to see if it was the right one? My GODS what does she do there? Window dressing?

I also think that if you noticed her bad attitude and carelessness, someone else who can do something has too.

Wow.. she sounds like a selfish spoiled snot... . You'd think she'd be more grounded, since she pays for everything herself (as she says). I'd hide the bleach bottles from her... or place them somewhere else. I also agree & think that it's just a matter of time before she gets "fired" or "quits". DOn't give her anymore attention that she doesn't deserve. Be frank, and don't bother with her.... You go on doing your job to the best of your ability.. and don't even think twice about that little snot.

I'm sorry, you should demand her to pay for your dress. Workplace drama and office politics are among 2 of the things I hate the most!

the girl has serious issues. she most likely did not appreciate you telling her how you thought she should stay in shape in a healthy way (in her defense, its her business what she does and how she does it no matter how dumb it sounds to you or anyone else) so she is being very passive aggressive with you because she obviously lacks the skills to just tell you it maybe offended her. next time she goes on about lipo or whatever she is doing to stay in shape just tell her, "thats great. it looks like its working for you" and leave it at that. you can't reason with an unreasonable unhappy person.
ask her for the money for the dress. if she refuses to pay, take it to your superior and let them deal with her. doesn't sound like shes gonna last too long there being as "lazy" as she is. I feel for the poor rich sap who she's gonna trap into taking care of her high maintenance malfunctions.
keep your distance from her and only deal with her on a professional level. put her out of your mind, don't dwell on her actions or lifestyle. you'll be much happier and content if you just mind your own business and concentrate on the people you do get along with around you. don't turn passive agressive yourself though. be a good, sincere, example to her.
