Dear colleague:

You've known for about 5 years now that I do not like you. I don't like your arrogance. I don't like your need to insert yourself and your oh so amazing wisdom into every conversation. I don't like your incessant whining whenever you feel over worked. We are all working hard to make a living, no one, least of all me needs to hear your woe is me every time we cross paths.

Please stop trying to ingratiate yourself into my good graces. Accept the fact that I don't like you and don't want to talk to you. Nod, say good morning if you must, I will, out of pure civil courtesy sake respond with a proper greeting but then continue on your way and leave me to get through my day without being reminded of exactly why I can't stand you in the first place.

Best regards,
T.
