I seriously want to hurt her (long)

So I have told the many many stories about my office manager saying rude and inappropriate things. She asked me two weeks ago if I had AF. I was like um yeah how did you know, she was like I can tell because your skin is all broken out. Really? Really thats something you can say to someone?

So fine, I am used to her inappropriateness but this made me fume. So last night MH went to the store to get a few things. I stayed home. So my cell phone rings, it's my office manger. I didn't answer. She called three more times! So I thought it was an emergency and finally answered. She was like I was just behind your husband at the store...um ok. She was like yeah David (her husband) said it was him but I said oh no Jeremy's not that chubby and she started laughing. I did not laugh, I thought that was so freaking rude. So then she proceeds to tell me the story about how she had told Jeremy the same thing, how she didn't think it was him because he looked "chubby". Mh was like yea I need to lose a few pounds. I could not believe she said that to him, it was bad enough she said it to me. And he has gained maybe 5ish pounds, not a lot.

 So then she calls me today (she is out of the office thank god) and was like was Jeremy upset that I called him chubby? I was like yeah kind of (he wasn't really, Jeremy is really hard to upset and is really laid back but I just wanted her to understand that it was really rude) she was like well good, maybe he will do something about it now Indifferent Who the eff made you the weight police? I was like umm you know it's rude to call people fat right? She was like I called him chubby not fat. There is no freaking reasoning with this woman. She is so rude.

Aother quick story. My coworker who is like 5'7" 110lbs (she has a really high metabolism, she eats crap and a lot of it) was saying about how she went to try to find a Halloween costume and the adult small didn't fit. I was like wow, if your not a small who are these made for? So like an hour later she was eating some candy and my office manager was like maybe thats why you don't fit into smalls anymore. I was like are you kidding me? Thank god this girl just laughed it off, but imagine if she had like an eating disorder or something?

 People know when they have gained weight and the last thing they need is some biotch telling them. I swear I will punch her in the ovaries if she tells me I have gained weight.

Sorry that was long I needed to vent.

  • Okay, this manager is like the mother in law of the office owner, right?  I'd take it to whoever is above her and say "Listen, I realize that Office Manager is your relative, but I'm bringing this up to protect this office.  She's commented on several people's weight/appearance lately and my concern is that she might say something to someone who'll take it offensive and it reflect poorly on this office."  I mean.. someone could get REALLY pissed off at her and I don't know... sue her or the office.  It's definitely not the craziest thing someone's sued over!
  • Ditto what Paula said.  That could be considered harassment.  At least, when it's said to employees...

  • I actually said something to my boss, her stepson and he laughed it off saying oh thats just how she is. He always says crap like that and it makes me mad. He also said thats how I know I am "part of the family" because she only says that kind of stuff to family. First of all, I'm sure she is just as rude to strangers and secondly then I want out of the family.
  • Ok, even before I opened your post I knew it was going to be about her!

    First of all, she needs to be put in her place!  She is beyond rude.  I don't know how you deal with her.  I would have snapped, BIG TIME by now.

  • I know Jen, she is just impossible to put in her place because she will never ever admit that she is wrong. I have tried to call her out on things and she will tell me I am too sensitive. She just have no clue what is appropriate to say out loud!

  • Wow...I will cut her tongue out for you!
