There is an annoying guy who is resigning from my department and a new girl who recently just joined our workforce.

During the first few days when the girl joined, I was sitting on the cubicle next to her's. So obviously, being the senior, I have be friendly, talk to her. If she got question, she also ask me first. Natural cause we sit close by and this is strictly professional.

Until this a$$h0l3 colleague of mine came up and say loudly "WOW! Kao lui ah?! People first week la... Let go of her la." I was very irritated with this sentence, so was she. By accident, I made a mistake. I said to this a$$h0l3 colleague of mine that she is a relative but actually she is not.

She heard bout it too. At first, she was ok. She probably didnt understand that I was just trying to shut that a$$h0l3 up and make him go away instead of annoying me the entire day. The new girl on the other hand probably thinks that two of her senior is making fun of her.

<editted> She started to feel awkward because the a$$h0l3 confronted her about being my relative today and also probably backstabbed me, he's a good-for-nothing-backstabber whom everyone hates thats why he is quitting. Always saying we all dont treat him like family and crap. <editted>

So, I apologised to the girl and she kept avoiding me, saying she is busy - cannot talk cause her sort of senior (another girl) is helping her now instead of me. I told her the reason why I simply claimed her to be my relative is an excuse to make that a$$h0l3 buzz off but she dont seem to get it.

Now, I feel horrible. I have been here for so long and this a$$h0l3 is quitting. We dont like each other very much and he is trying to make my future days difficult. What can I do to rectify this problem?

When I type on the MSN, telling the girl I got explaination to make to her, she just avoid it saying I am sorry I cannot talk now. I am very busy today. Sorry. She is so nice and apologetic but yet she is not getting the whole picture. Now I'm misunderstood as a bad guy and in reality, I dont like that. I prefer to maintain my perfect working environment instead of having it screwed up by that a$$h0l3.

What can I do? Please help.

And by they way, i think it will be better if you stop explaining. Just let her know your true self from other colleagues. No point for you to keep explaining. Just let it be. She will understand one day.

this situation is pretty tricky..
very hard to "win" lo..

that a**h*** really screwed u up. really felt sorry for u there

since u yourself know u meant no harm n feel the need to explain till she understands.. the more she feels you otherwise.

doing more things to convince her will sure aggravates things loo..
just close de case. i'm sure truth will prevails one day.

I think you have done enough. Maybe it's time to sit back and relax. It's not like you told your a%%hol3 friend that she's your GF.
If you still wanna do something, send her an apologetic card explaining things .. and act like nothing happen afterwards.

the girl might think you are a bit psychotic claiming to be her relative for no reason.

if my colleague say i am trying to kau lui, i will just reply "yes, so what?" afterall it's just a joke. no need to take it seriously.

Yea, unfortunately for me, I cant go on saying "Yes, kow lui, so what?" because my gf is close with my colleagues and when she comes visiting, everyone loves her. So, I dont want to create a misunderstanding.

Not to say I overconfident or what, I dont want a mere young fresh graduate girl like this new colleague of mine to even have any misunderstanding. A workplace is strictly a workplace. Period.

I think I will take your advises. I have done enough, sit back and f*** care. The girl wants to be blunt, blur or stupid - her call, yes? The reason I claim her to be a relative is to show we are blood related and that I am NOT kowing her.

Haisheh, the girl see you so 'lam sei', then sekali you say 'relative'... Chance drop to 0%, so from now onwards, she dont need you anymore. Hahahaa

Interesting. At first, I was thinking to say:
"you like her is it? if not, then stop explaining la...(too simple to be complicated). If you like her, also stop explaining....start buying her rose everyday, will do".. rclxms.gif


But since yr already got a lovely girlfriend, then i'll suggest u to "shut up". Like what alanyuppie said, "truth will prevails one day."

People will judge you from you "daily behaviour". icon_idea.gif

Well, for one thing, you're running the risk of trying to push the matter too hard right now.

never never talk in MSN. MSN is not a place to talk. just explain why u say she is your relative. then tell her that this guys is always like that. You can ask everyone here in the office. because you only started working here 1 week. So many thing here you still dono. etc etc etc.

So are you the famous buaya king at the office? if not people wont be shouting like this. Or he is really an A$$-O
