So... I ended up in a hormonal sobfest yesterday. Prepregnancy, this type of comment would have only gotten my temper up a touch... so... I already know I shouldn't be so upset.
So, As I'm heading in to work, my wipers die. bringing the grand total of car issues in the year I have worked here to THREE (and one was a punk busting out my back window with a bat... so not an actual car breaking... the other was a loose battery cable). Fast forward to the end of my shift: my judgey mcjudgerton coworker comes in and I'm making small talk. I say "oh please say its not still raining" her response is "why? its just a little bit of rain. get over it"
I tell her that my wipers had broke, it was probably the motor. (which btw, it was) and she goes off on how I've had so many car problems. Sorry that my battery cable was loose last month and in a snow storm and darkness I couldn't see that until the next morning!
Then she brings up my "new car" which my parents GAVE ME AS A GIFT (and she's ranted at me about the fact that I'm 26, pregnant and shouldn't need mommy and daddy to buy me stuff) and I said that I couldn't afford to register it with my last check.
Her next statement is what killed me... "You shouldn't buy things you can't afford"
I did my best to not cry right then and there. I explained to her that its not my fault that DH needed new glasses and they ended up being about $250 more than I expected... making me not have enough money this check. And then continued to block out her other statements...
Re: Did you seriously say that? *long vent*

It sounds like maybe you've been over sharing with your coworkers and this one is just sick of hearing it. Other people really don't care about your personal finances and they certainly don't want to hear updates about all the details of who's paying f
most of the time, she buts in when I'm talking to my other coworker when he asks for
Wow, that's really rude. I do not understand people who think they have the right to talk to people like that. Un-freaking-believable.
