and just for background for my family history:
>mom and dad was trying for a boy
>got my sister instead
>she was also born with some health issues too which complicated a lot of things for her growing up (such as chewing properly, getting sick easily, etc.) she also has dyslexia
>sister got mad neglected and was abused by both my mom and dad especially after my brother was born 2 years later.
>basically she was a scapegoat for my parents' failing marriage

>dad never cared for my sister; he literally never calls for her birthday or other holidays while he would message me and my brother
>mom never takes my sister's ailments seriously. (ex. when sister had surgery for her jaw so she couldn't talk. she was super dehydrated and was begging for water but the nurses wouldn't do their fucking job properly and my sister had to throw something to get their attention. my mom told my sister she was being rude to the nurse...)
>sister was endlessly bullied at school because of low self-esteem and worth; almost committed suicide before i convinced her out of it
>mom and dad never took her depression and anxiety and thoughts of suicide seriously and still thinks it would've never happened. this is how careless they were.

just to give an idea about how many fucks my parents give. things are (somewhat) better now for my sister but it's still sensitive

fuck man even typing that was hard for me. that's basically the gist of it though.

You shouldn't have even apologized, she's being a really shitty person beating a lame joke to death for attention.

yeah i kind of regret that now, but i'm not about to rip her a new asshole to make things worse or anything. i just wanted to make it really clear about how i felt and wanted to make peace (for the sake of coming to work with a comfortable atmosphere), but she has her pride in the way i guess.

should i talk to her again? i'm re-considering explaining why that's so offensive to me and if she has a heart at all she might understand why i reacted the way i did and why she should be more careful about saying that stuff.

but at the same time, this girl has a history of trying to make me look bad for the weirdest shit. like on one after-work hangout/council thing, i said something like "yeah lets get wasted!!" and the joke is the fact that i don't really drink a lot. (and i would never drink too much in front of my co-workers in the first place.)

so on another occasion when someone offered me a drink and i refused that time (because i didn't feel like it), she'll beat the dead horse (always with an audience around or loud enough so other people can hear her) and say something like "oh but i thought you like getting wasted?? you were SO bent about that at the last event!"

it's dumb, and i usually say something like "do you take everything literally" anyways, but in a light-hearted way so not to bring down the mood or anything. but she is kind of a bitch which is why i also don't trust her with any personal information.

Nah, for now just assume she took the hint. If she insists on it again then be more blunt. I doubt she'll do it again since you kind of called her out on it in front of your coworkers. She's using it for attention from them and ended up embarassing herself, probably doesn't want to repeat.

But don't feel bad for defending your sister, she's a cunt and you handled it with more patience then I would.

Gigi sounds like a supreme cunt.
I think you handled it very maturely, anon. I would have probably gone off if someone said that shit in front of me.
If it happens again, maybe contact your HR department or any higher up.

thanks; yeah i'm pretty sure she won't be pulling the "accident" trigger again. just the aftermath of the whole situation is what i'm wondering what i should do...

i suppose i can kind of ignore her til this awkwardness fades. (if it ever does.) or maybe i can act like normal and still be friendly. (even though i don't think she deserves it... but i genuinely just want to get along with everyone) i don't know what would be the better route.

if she decides to duck out of eating lunch with me and my friends too, i would feel half responsible for that and i wouldn't know what to do. i just feel like the bad guy right now. i'm already not looking forward to monday.

thanks, i admit it took all of me to not say something worse.

oh yeah, HR is something i haven't considered.... i guess i'll see what she does next and make my move from there. i doubt that she'll try the accident thing again, but who knows what else she might say about my sister.

i'll look into it, thanks. for now though, just wondering how to deal with the awkward aftermath of the situation.

I've been in a situation like this, sorta. I've snapped at people being cunts at work and it's pretty awkward afterwards.

I'd suggest just focusing on doing your job, and trying your best to be neutral about it unless she pulls another stupid stunt again. After all, work isn't supposed to have drama (even though it's gonna happen regardless), so the best thing to do would just be as professional about it as you can.

I mean you already apologized when you didn't even have to. If she's gonna be salty, it's her own fault. People will take notice of how immature she's being and it'll bite her in the ass in the end.

Is Gigi hot?
