One male co-worker is always following me around, kind of stalker-ish, even when I tell him I\u2019m going to the bathroom. He says no to me when I ask him for help with assignments, yet he expects me to drop everything the minute he needs something. He is loud and walks around the \u201coffice\u201d like he owns it and constantly is calling out my name all hours of the day, sometimes he even calls me at night. Really, it\u2019s getting to be a bit much. I feel like he doesn\u2019t respect any boundaries of personal space or my personal time. Our relationship is extremely one sided and I\u2019m expected to do all the work while he hangs out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, I also have a female co-worker, she is mostly chill and easy to work with, but lately has been shrieking through the \u201coffice\u201d, yelling if she doesn\u2019t get her way, and occasionally even biting me. &nbsp;She interrupts me constantly, touches me, and even climbs on my legs if I\u2019m not paying attention to her. What should I do? These co-workers\u2019 actions are highly inappropriate! &nbsp;I\u2019ve tried talking to my friends and family, but they tell me that \u201cthe phase will pass,\u201d \u201cthings will get better\u201d, and \u201ctheir just kids\u201d as if they are trying to justify their rude behaviors! Anyone else have co-workers like mine? Comment below with any sanity saving tips and tell the HR department to send help my way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signed, an overtired, overworked mom of a 3yr old boy and a 7-month-old teething baby girl. &lt;3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Readers, I could use your help in dealing with a situation regarding co-workers with annoying habits.
