Moan time
My colleague requested I send down from my office up here in Scotland a roll of stickers with an awards logo on them. She requested I send them to "Wiltshire" which, being in the throws of lots of hard work on a Monday morning I assumed she meant her office in Stokenchurch.

Turned out she meant a 3rd party that I'd never heard of who happen to be based in Wiltshire. Thanks for that.

Anyway she received the rolls and phoned me up for a smarmy beatdown which included such up-your-own-arse bullshit as "Do you remember that conversation we had yesterday" and "I specifically asked you to". Throw in a few office classics such as "moving forward" and "I always keep a notepad next to me" oh jesus she pisses me off. ITS A SMALL ROLL OF NON-ESSENTIAL STICKERS THAT HAVE BEEN DELATED TO THEIR INTENDED TARGET BY 24 HOURS.

But this over-the-phone arse-banditry wasn't enough. No, 6 hours later she decided to send an e-mail to everyone in the office here (including my boss) the entire length of shenanigans detailing exactly where I went wrong with this business critical emergency.

Looks heres a quote from it:
"When I ask you to do something, please, please listen and take note, as we cannot afford to get these simple tasks wrong."

How can people live with themselves being such complete offensive twats. Why can't the conversation go:

"Hi TDW.... Um you know those stickers you were supposed to send to Wiltshire/"

"YYyyyyesss??"

"Erm.. you sent them here you complete twat!"

"Oh.. Sorry about that."

"Don't worry about it I'll send it on myself tomorrow.."

"Ok! Bye!!"

Including everyone.

Explain to her that you can't act in response to unclear instructions, and that you find her behaviour upsetting, and that you feel her unprofessional behaviour should not be attributed to you.

Make sure you use the term upsetting.
They love that.

This is a serious post, btw.

I feel your pain.
I've worked for people like that. Their favorite thing in the world, bar none, is playing Now I've Got You, You Son Of A Bitch. It's what they live for.

These days if I find that I work for someone like that, I find another job.

EDIT: Kaol gives excellent advice here. I agree with him completely.

DO NOT COPY 'ALL'!
Christ they'll eat you alive. If you want to do something, bring the issue to HR. Tell them you feel insulted and undermined or similar.

If you contact HR
make sure that you copy your boss on all correspondence. Maybe it's best to leave everyone else out of it, but keep the boss informed.

Might also be worth it to copy the colleague on it, if for no other reason than to make her shit herself.

CHITB
isn't it 'cunt her in the bastard'?

Oh, and I came on here to suggest the same as Stu, but to be honest, if you follow Kaol's advice, I'd also use the word "disappointed" somewhere.

Either way, good luck :)

Thanks for the replys!!!
Well when I first started this year placement she was really bad and as someone else put she 100% LIVES for getting small-fry like me into a corner and cunting the fuck out of them for sheer pleasure.

Kind of need the money though the placement is nearly over. Wonder if they'll offer me an extension lol!

The world does sadden me though that everyone is such a nice cultured and accepting country in the U.K. there are still supposedly normal hard owrking people that go out their way to make people upset. What the fuck is that all about.

If not having some stickers on time
can piss her off that much, imagine how dried up from lack of use her wrinkly old snatch must be.

For that matter
imagine being the guy who gets her into a bed. I can just see her taking his mobile and texting everyone on it as to how shit he was at sex...
