Reply #30: In most circumstances I don't engage

[NMMNG]

The only person I've engaged with is a coworker of mine who insists on singing hymns/reading the Bible aloud/shouting to religious programs on the TV loudly for hours during her work shift (loudly enough to be heard throughout the entire large house). I'm stuck there in the house and cannot leave to escape so I confronted her to let her know that her behavior was disruptive and disturbing me. Her response? "I do this all the time, when I'm at home, when I'm in my car, whenever. If you don't like it you can quit."

Of course I could have retorted that I listen to rock music with obscene lyrics at home and in my car, and would she like me to listen to it there at a loud volume, but I didn't. I could also have just brought in some CDs of such music and blasted them on the stereo, thereby drowning her out and having some "revenge", but I didn't. Instead I went to my supervisor and explained the problem. The supervisor told her to stop the behavior yet she persists. :banghead: Since it's my word against hers and she's never doing it when the supervisor comes in the supervisor feels she can't do anything more to discipline her. :eyes:
