So essentially I do I.T. work (not a 6 fig, 6 cert breh yet) as help desk for a machine shop. Most of the people there are generally friendly and I work in the basement with the other I.T. people. However sometimes I have to go to the floor and assist the users. Long story short this middle aged white bytch who is not attractive to me always says, you need to smile (I do smile just not at her) and that I need to talk more (I say good morning to the heifer whenever we cross paths but we work in two different areas, fukk I look like interrupting my work flow talking to the bytch.)

I kind of what to confront her and be stern that she is fukking up my work flow which could potentially fukk up hers, but something tells me that, that could go left and it would be her word against mine. She I go to her manager? it sounds petty or so I just keep it moving?

I'm also a contractor if that means anything.

you need to care much less about her and what she has to say.

It's no that serious. don't confront her and don't change. you are not front end sales or customer service you don't need to smile

Do something about it :manny:

Either tell her it's annoying or question her as to why she keeps mentioning it. If you're not the type to confront people then complain to someone else and have something done about it.

Why?

The irony is that this is all her attempt to jar you out of your likely intimidating frame. She's trying to "figure you out". People do that for various reasons; some use it to flirt, some do it out of insecurity, some do it to understand better how they can communicate with you.

It's not meant as anything more than a social exercise.
