    Duh Why does she BRAG SO MUCH??!

    There's this girl I work with..... she's average looking but brags to me EVERY CHANCE SHE GETS. Even when I'm just minding my own business she'll be like,

    "I made $1,500 tonight(even when there would be no one that night)! I have $3,000 earrings! I have designer everything, my parents give me $5,000 a week! I have this, that, blahblahblaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

    I just want to be like WHO THE FUCK CARES! If she was my friend or something, I'd be more tolerant of it. I'm not a hater, it's just obnoxious. Like, why are you even telling me this? She never fails to brag every shift I work with her.

    What do you do about girls like this (Not bragging to everyone but just especially YOU!)

    this has never happened. or if it has, i wasn't paying attention to notice.

    i'm curious as to how she is constantly cornering you and telling you random shit about her life when you are not friends or leading her to believe you give a shit. can you provide more details about how this interaction usually plays out? i'm pretty sure if you told her you don't give a shit every time she shared, she would stop sharing.

    I'm willing to bet she has none of those things and probably is a low-earner, and she feels the need to talk about all the awesome $$$ she's (not) made to make sure that no-one even begins to figure out that she's actually going home with next-to-nothing.

    There was a girl at my club who's locker was next to mine, and she'd always be like "I'm making soooo much money, it's MY night, can't spend too much time back here coz all my regulars are throwing cash at me"... one time i got a hold of the sheet where the bouncers monitor what we've made so far for the week - she was consistently pulling $50-$100 a night. I didn't even feel like making fun of her, I felt sorry for her.

    Like, the other night I was minding my own business freshening up in the dressing room and she's like

    "This guy just gave me $1100 just for sitting with him! You know I'm not going to be working tomorrow!"

    Or just randomly talking about bragging shit,

    "I have a 2009-2010(you don't know the year of your car?) charger but my dad doesn't let me drive it that why I get a ride to work all the time'

    I NEVER approach her about these things! She for some reason feels she has the need to yell her earnings out in the dressing room.... Idk. Ugh.

    She probably feels incredibly insecure and inferior to the rest of the girls there, so she makes up stories and exaggerates her accomplishments in order to make herself feel that she is your equal or superior.

    Instead of concentrating on how much you hate it and letting this situation bring you down, try to use this issue to motivate yourself. If you out-earn her, there will no longer be a reason for you to feel bad.

    Dwelling on this situation won't help unless you can mentally use it to your advantage.

    That would annoy the hell out of me too... Id probably just make it obvious that she annoys the shit out of me or if I was drunk Id tell her to shut the f up.. but I can be a bitch sometimes.

    I feel for you. I've never had this personally, but it's the kind of thing that would unleash my innermost bitch (I'm not talking about the tame bitch, I mean the real destructive psychobitch I keep locked up for special occasions). I don't care if she's actually making peanuts, girls like this dont get my sympathy, they make me wanna destroy their things.

    she just wants attention. when she starts talking to you just daze off and go "huh?" when she's mid-sentence. or pretend to be on your phone

    I agree with most others here.

    She probably has self-esteem issues because of a crappy childhood (meaning she must have been neglected as a child and did not have her emotional/psychological needs met in an adequate and healthy way). She might just want people to think well of her and may even go so far as lying just to impress you/others. You're probably not the only person she's doing this to, even if it seems that way.

    there are a couple of girls who do this regularly and now i dont talk to them. but every now n then i would say one sentence to them and the reply would be a paragraph of BRAGBRAGGITYBRAGGYBRAG

    1. you can walk away and ignore it

    2 yell NO ONE CARES

    3. say 'everytime you brag a baby kitten dies'

    4. when she begins a bragworthy sentence cut in 'Nah' 'Yes' 'I agree' 'Oh totally' before she has a chance to finish in hopes to confuse her enough to stop talking

    5. fake an orgasm

    6. do as i do and say ' thats nice honey. you know im getting a unicorn for christmas. my uncle is a pioneering genetic engineer and specialises in crossing mythical creatures with animal counterparts'

    7. pee your pants. that will make an impact and change the subject

    8. see if you can out-brag her e.g. her: oh i just got this diamond bracelet from my bf he so rich you: i got this diamond choker and a bentley from the guy who asked me for directions

    9. knock out her teeth. now everything she says will sound hilariously lisp-ey

    10. brag about your prior criminal records and restraining orders and pass around pictures of the 'last girl i sent to hospital for bragging'

    Is she doing this while you are getting ready in the dressing room? This is why I bring my ipod and headphones.... and honestly, I am in my own little world at work, completely oblivious to any conversations around me, dirty looks from other girls, etc. I don't even notice stuff like this anymore because I've gotten so good at tuning it out....

    Just don't acknowledge it..... Don't respond at all, don't look at her, nod your head, mumble, or anything. Just totally ignore it. Ignoring is way worse than saying anything negative because that's still giving her attention and that's clearly what she wants. Poor thing. I never understood the psychology of a liar. How someone can allow complete lies to come out of their mouths is beyond me.... it's so so so strange. She seems rather pathetic but let her bug someone else. If you seem the least bit nice or inviting, she'll take it as a sign to talk your ear off. Don't be mean, just be indifferent.

    For these type of girls.. I find ignoring them makes them louder.. All you have to say is "That's nice sweety." And keep doing your own thing. You don't look at her, you don't say anything else, and walk back to work or take your stuff and leave. Believe me I have found using the yes dear tone with them annoys them to find another girl that will most likely kick their ass.

    People like this exist in every job. I swear, I used to work with this girl at a grocery store, and I was constantly put on the register next to her, and she would brag and talk down to me all the time. Like, bitch, you work as a grocery store cashier, same as me.... what do you have to brag about over me?

    These people are just insecure and feel the need to brag about nothing or make shit up to feel superior. There's nothing wrong with sharing accomplishments, but if you're truly that successful, you probably don't have to shout it in order for people to see it. If she's constantly bragging about out-of-this-world shit happening to her, chances are she's making it all up. Calling her on it will probably just enrage her and it definitely won't cure her compulsive lying to feed her battered ego.

    I agree to go with the "that's nice" and then walk away or keep doing what you're doing without really listening. Ignoring people who are absolutely insistent on talking to you doesn't seem to send the message and they just keep going. I had a girl at my club on one side of my locker who was trying to talk to the girl on my opposite side, literally about 4 lockers down, and kept saying "Hey, X. Hey, X.... Hey, X, guess what? Hey X..." X was clearly ignoring her. But the girl wouldn't stop until X said "What? .... That's nice." Just mumble some sort of acknowledgment and zone out the rest of the time.

    girls like this never bothered me at the club I worked at. All the girls were too busy talking smack about each other to think about themself enough to brag about THEIR shit. I mean, I was in tight with a few girls, and they would tell me nice things that happened to them or tell me that a customer gave them a gift or something, but I would do the same so it was NEVER bragging. Seriously though, those kind of "braggitybrag braggitybrag girls" would unleash the inner bitch within me that I save for times when couch tipping, locker banging, and potted plant uprooting is in order.

    just saying...rofl

    I wonder if we work at the same club cuz there's this club where this girl does the same EXACT thing and its extremely anoying that I stopped talking to her or even acknowledging her altogether, of course being as conceited and full of her self that she thinks im jealous of her when i think she isnt hot at all. she thinks that she is the hottest top girl in the club.
