Search Results: controlling boyfriend girlfriend

My co-workers keep making jokes about me and take the piss out of me
(British phrase for "making fun of")
It's only the men/boys that do it, by the way.

They're mostly comments about my appearance or my mum or things that i do at work. And they try to get me to do things that they don't want to do and when i say no and stand up for myself, they get really angry! Wtf!

I know that most males make fun of eachother, in a jokey, friendly way.

But i don't know them that well!

... So i don't see them as a friend, cos I dont hang around them outside of work, cos i don't want to and i rarely get asked to.

I've even said to their faces
"its annoying, can you stop it, im trying to get on with my work"

and also, "can you stop this piss taking, cos i really don't see you as a friend and its WEIRD that your making jokes about me like that"

And i tell them that they go too far and it makes me uncomfortable, but they still do it!

.. So it seems like they don't respect me, therefore they dont see me as a friend, so i guess its bullying?

One of them has a controlling girlfriend who sent me an angry message telling me not to talk to her boyfriend at work! That guy has clearly been lying about me, telling her things, just to turn her against me!

I sometimes make jokes about them back, but they get all offended (even though, what they said is worse) and start getting more rude!
