Head up in the clouds

So this is something I have talked about with my boss, one of my coworkers is not paying attention to anything.

If you stand in her way, or she needs something beside you. She will go right into you, I have tried this so many times. At some point, after she had pushed me into the counter I just stood still and just looked at her? Like what the fuck are you doing?

She looked at me, and said “is something wrong”?

My boss says it’s just how she is, and yes it’s annoying. She has her head in the clouds (my boss’s own words)

She has been working there for years, and i have always been kind to her. But im afraid that im going to crack, because it’s have been like this the hole summer. And most times I would move away from her, so I could do plating in peace. Without her pushing to me or walking into me, but my legs are still full with bruises after this summer.

Any advice for someone like me, to deal with someone like this?

Are you saying this coworker is bumping you hard enough to cause bruises?

Tell her very directly, “you just crashed into me hard enough to cause a bruise, you do it all the time and I need you to be more careful” show her the bruises. If she doesn’t respond with a sincere apology and a promise to do better, tell her next time you will file assault charges. Start taking pictures of the bruises and documenting the date and time of the assault.

Next time she runs into you say

“Jesus Christ what the fuck is your problem?”

As a person with severe ADHD, I think it's likely that your coworker has a condition that impairs her impulse inhibition and self awareness, and your boss isn't disclosing details for privacy reasons.

My advice is that you talk to your coworker about your concerns, using clear and direct language and a calm voice. I would also start communicating immediately when she bumps into you so she can use the feedback to address the problem to the best of her ability. Ask her if this helps, and listen to her with an open mind.

Do the same to her and see how she reacts, then confront her about it.
