Describe the Behaviors of Your Coworker From Hell

I had a co-worker who would pick with me about my diabetes and not having a boyfriend, which was my mistake because I told her about both situations. She would tell me that I shouldn't be eating a candy bar, I told her,"I can have a candy bar if I want to, you don't pay my medical bill!" She said that she was trying to help. Then she wanted to find me a boyfriend. She tried to put an alcoholic co-worker off on me and I told her that doesn't say much about you if you have to push an alocholic co-worker on another co-worker.

I did talk to her about trying to tell me what to eat and that I appreciate what she was trying to do.

I told her that I don't want a boyfriend and when I'm ready, I will find one on my own.

If she couldn't stop that I was going to have to stop talking to her altogether.
