You poor darling. You seem to have very limited experience with females since you have never encountered this type before.
What kind of comment about your belt?
Have you ever seen mean girls?
"I like your bracelet where did you get it? It's adorable."
"I love your skirt. Where did you get it? It's adorable."
She didn't care that you didn't go to the credit union to humor her.
She was bored waiting on line so she decided to use you to humor herself and who ever else appeared to be an easy target.
How did you not know that some chicks do this?
You either had a really ugly belt, a belt that said something stupid on the belt buckle, or some kind of poser belt or something. Like a weightlifting belt but you didn't have a muscle in sight so she knew you weren't really a weight lifter. So she started a conversation about your belt or told you she liked it just to mess with you.
And she did it under the guise of being friendly.
"I love your belt. Where did you get it. It's adorable."
Lol
Ps. Or maybe she worked at the bank and was doing her job by being chatty and polite to the customers as they wait on line. Sometimes they do that. But she was still making fun of your belt. What did it look like?
So true. I think. After all, my wife always has to put up with stuff like "I love your husband. Where did you get him? He's adorable." She just shines them on.
Surely you aren't saying you were kind to people only when it was in your own best interest professionally and monetarily? Unkind people are very unpleasant to be around, but I guess that's strategic since they like to be alone so much.
There are times to just be friendly, but I would have to much to think about and sometimes when I was on the way to my office, saying good morning to every one when I passed their desk, was very distracting. Not having a big greeting for everyone that said good morning as I walked by their desk, was too distracting when I was wanting to think.
I was at my peak in the corporate world, division sales manager for every thing west of the Mississippi river. I have had a lot of people in the office suites I may pass through. I did not have the inclination to disrupt mentally making plans for the day, just to go by everyone on the way giving them a cheery good morning. I knew a lot of people in offices I worked in, that felt the same way. In fact I have been in managers meetings when the problem was discussed, of these especially women that wanted to attract attention to themselves, and greeted anyone that passed by their desk going somewhere else, and expected the person they were greeting to give them a greeting in return. Doing so wastes a lot of time, and depending on your position, it may be the only time you would have to set your day in order.
The person that expects everyone to give them attention, is the one that is out of line. Just because they want to be showered with attention, does not mean everyone should give it to them. When you are in the office, you are there to do your job, not trying to get everyone's attention, and give them a greeting. Such action has no place in a well run office situation. It should be saved to flirt in bars in the evening, etc.
Yes - it would be extremely rude and childish - plain and simple
The one that is being rude and childish, is the one that garners attention by trying to get the attention and a greeting from everyone that passes their desk all day long. They should be doing their job, not trying to get everyone's attention.
