Smile at her :vwhite: "How's your family?"

keep eating. Realistically the more people who personally have rapport with you the better if you're a jobber

I'm not going to read through the two pages of coli militants that equate a simple human gesture to "c00ning" for the man, and I'll simply telling you that a genuine smile can open a lot of doors for you and leave it at that.

Victim Blamer; Rape Apologist; etc.

Customers at my job ask me that all the time and I tell them if you had my job you wouldn't smile either. Or I tell them that I do smile when I go home. I also tell them that asking someone smile is less likely to make that person smile.

Exactly.

She’s desperate to get some connection going with him but she ain’t a social type of chick ie she got no game...she wants his ass.
No. She’s trying to get him fired.

One in the same tho.....well ain't it ?

OP..

If it is bothering you, then the next time she tells you to smile and talk more, simply tell her that you do smile when necessary as well as talk when necessary. Tell her that you prefer to keep things professional and thank her for her concern while walking away.

If she continues to approach you about your mannerisms, then go to your boss and let him or her know that this person is making you feel uncomfortable, but be sure to document things and get witnesses just in case she decides to flip the script and accuse you of creating an hostile work environment.

Personally, I would avoid her and go on about my business.
After viewing the usual coli nonsense, I'll take this advice as well as just ignore the broad.

Better than cussing her out or slapping her

Sounds like she sucks at flirting and thinks that any black man should be excited to see her, even if she looks busted from head to toe and have no more feminine qualities about herself. I would take it as sexual harassment.

I am sure you will figure things out with that woman.

I have enough work experience to know how to politic with folks at work. I deal with a lot of people from all walks of life. As long as you do your job, come to work on time, work safe and keep things professional, then you should be good.

Of course there are exceptions, but that is where you get your ducks in a row, document shyt and obtain witnesses, if necessary. Other than that, if you politic right, then people will generally leave you alone, if not hook you up with a plug of some sort or have your back.

Good luck with your situation @ work!
