This.

If she complains a lot then it shouldn't be hard to find the buttons. Just listen to what she says and use it as ammunition. And just remember to be subtle about it. REALLY subtle. Like when she goes to the bathroom take all of her pens and and throw them across the room, or leave threatening notes written in spanish.

I once used the spanish thing. We had a colleague who was leaving 'office notes' everywhere, stuff about not overfeeding the office fish, etc. Nothing big but kind of annoying.

I changed all the notes to spanish in google translate and replaced them. Then I logged into his PC and photoshopped his desktop background so that all the text was also in spanish, and changed the system language :P

We have an office forum too, so at a later date I changed his avatar on that to the spanish flag and translated his signature :P


Of course, this was all in good fun, not to annoy them particularly, but it was fun :P

I think that's how we all read it.

Anyway, there's two ways I can see you solving this. You can do it immorally, retaliatig to this woman and pissing her off to the point where she flips, or if you want to be really bad, framing her and getting her sacked. Or you can do it morally and stand above her, correcting her when she's wrong, treating her better than she treats you and trying to tolerate he. to the point where she just gives up. Yeah, I suck at advice.

It might just be a problem of dealing with her crap and ignoring her until she either quits or does something to get herself fired.
Those types eventually make enemies of everyone in the workplace and usually don't last very long.
That's been my experience with such co-workers, anyway.
