We have to put up with officemates with attitudinal problems. They are everywhere. I surmise that they have become like that because of the way they were brought up at home. They may be irritating but the trouble is, they are always around us, murmuring almost about anything.
The best way to deal with that will be to not to mind them. Let them keep on talking without hearing a single word from. Then you will find that he is already somewhere else, finding a better ear where he can talk and have some responses in return. Listen to me, I have had plenty of encounters with these kind of people. And they are mostly men.

Yeah. It can be superficial but I guess it would be effective.

Usually if people are giving me an attitude I just tell them to not talk to me until they can talk to me in a nicer tone. If they still throw and attitude at me I will just ignore them. Eventually they go away and try to throw their attitude on someone else.

I try to be friendly with them. I point out the times I think they do something good, or I agree. That way it is much easier to say something when I think thay go to far. If that does not work i will try to keep them aty the biggest distance possible. If nothing helpes i will talk to my supervicer and have them talk to the rude, irritating person.

I tend to give them as little attention as possible because I believe that is exactly what they are seeking. If I have to deal with them, I don't allow their attitude to impact my day or the work I do. It is too bad there are people that's lives stink so bad they have to be like that all the time !
