The receptionist downstairs alternates every day, and recently one of them spoke to me in a tone that made me feel small and insignificant and because of this I no longer wish him “good morning!”, like I do with every other receptionist in the morning. I hope he apologises soon but I won’t hold my breath.
Thinking of boycotting a professional event that I go to every year and is really useful for CPD hours because this year it’s being run by somebody who’s been patronising to me a few times and keeps introducing themselves to me even though we’ve met six or seven times now.
Go, reap the benefit, but make sure you engage that person in conversation a few times and either mispronounce their name or ask who they are each time.
Our Communications Executive (not a proper job, by the way) keeps trying to talk to me whilst he has his earphones in, so I keep mouthing my reply inaudibly. Going to keep doing so until he stops being such a rude bastard.
i dislike someone in my friend group and have done for years, but I don’t think my reasons are petty. I’ll follow through with this dislike in petty ways though - like not wishing him happy birthday on the whataspp group, and saying i’ll go to his parties but not showing up.
