I have a co-worker who is kind of rude to me.

I am a quiet introvert and this co-worker is a bubbly, talkative extrovert. She ignores me and I know this because I have another talkative co-worker who does speak to me. She only says hi and doesn't speak to me for the rest of the day. The other talkative co-worker does initiate conversation with me while she doesn't. Yet she calls me stuck up and arrogant for not talking to her when she does know I will talk to people who do initiate conversation with me. I have tried to start conversation with her but to no avail. She has never tried to start a conversation with me. When I am the only person around her, she doesn't say anything but once someone else comes along she immediately starts being chatty with the person who just came by. Just yesterday, she went around wishing a Merry Christmas to everyone as she was leaving work, but neglected to do the same to me. She just looked at me and walked off. What really makes me mad about her is that she literally said that "I am nice to everybody and I don't judge people". Which really means "I am only nice certain people and I don't judge people who are the same as me, but if I encounter people who are different I am mean to them and judge them". That's what she should have said. If I had a nickel for every self-righteous person who claims that they are nice to everybody but are then rude to anyone who is different, I would be rich :D

What about your co-workers? Are they nice or rude or indifferent to you?

i had one rude co-worker once. he kept pushing and pushing, not with hard attacks but minor things that never stopped. we worked at a retail place; a famous and busy one with many thousands of customers a day. one day he asked if i liked rap music, and then was totally insulting about the very old rap groups i mentioned that i liked. i picked him up by the throat, like over my head, in front of at least 30-40 customers, and said 'stop ****ing with me'. he was really friendly to me after that.

might not be appropriate to your situation, tho.
