She sounds very childish. How old is she?

You have your opinion I have mine and I do believe it was their way of bullying me into not wearing it. we will agree to disagree.

Did they have you up against the wall, yanking the necklace off your body? Did they beat you up and steal the necklace? Did they say they wouldn't let up until you never wore a dragonfly again?

No? Of course they weren't. No one was bullying you. You are an adult. Take the high road and ignore them.

What kind of place do you work in anyway?

Asking a question once is not bullying.

While it may not be physical it IS a form of bullying just if someone was to bully you on face book no contact obvoiusly but it is a called BULLYING!

i say - that if you're a dancer (exotic kind) - that you wear that necklace and get a big ol' dragonfly tattoo somewhere special and let everyone see it.
and wear your necklace.
HA!
sounds like dragonflies will be your new thing for a while.

Maybe because you all acted like you were in kindergarten?

When people do this kind of stuff, take the high road and walk away. Don't stoop to their level.




How are they bullying you into not wearing the necklace? Did they say they were going to beat you up if you ever wore the necklace to work again!? Do they taunt you every time you wear it? And why, for the love of God, do you even care what these two people think?

Get a thicker skin, wear the necklace, and ignore them.

Exactly. Enjoy your necklace and stop engaging thier middle school behavior.

I don't think this even remotely comes close to verbal bullying. Not in the slightest, and it's an insult to those who have been the victim of true bullying.

Even my daughters school would not consider that bullying and they have absolute zero tolerance policies.

OP, i think your co-worker and that bouncer are BOTH nuts, and need to grow up. honestly, my DD14 and her friends are more mature than that. wear your necklace proudly, and don't worry about them.

as I said i know these people and know that it is their of saying not to wear it again. and we will agree to disagree.

Haha agnes!

FWIW, OP, it probably would have irritated me enough at the time that I would have made a wisecrack about her not having trademark rights too. Immature maybe, but my inner smart*** would have gotten the better of me. I probably also would have reminded her that items with that motif are mass-produced, so she really isn't as unique as she'd like to think she is. Lots of people own/collect Mickey stuff too (or Tinkerbell...having actually had that conversation with my squabbling daughters).

Sorry you work with a pair of immature twits, maybe they've been sampling too much of the wares and pickling their brains.

I don't think cheermom is a dancer; she just works in a bar. Can't speak for the other chick or the bouncer.

I don't think it's bullying...maybe picking a little bit if they were as snarky as the OP says. But these are adults......like others have said...sorry to say, you should probably grow some thicker skin.

 

[ols386]

in her 30's

She's old enough that she shouldn't be getting upset that you are wearing a dragonfly necklace just because she likes them too.

I'd ignore her and wear your necklace to your heart's content.

The guy asked you a question. Did not know inquiries were bullying. Crap. Better not ask anyone anything anymore.

The other girl commented on your necklace, said dragonflies were her thing, said you suck, and talked over you. How the heck is that bullying? I better not comment on anything anymore. Don't want to be called a bully.

Crap - I told my DH he sucked today because he didn't leave me any coffee. And he knows that coffee in the morning is my thing. Wow -- I am a bully!

LOL thanks as I said I thing my reaction is understandable as i was stunned to think that a necklace would be something that i wrong to wear. Or start a huge stink about.

The main thing that was going through my head at the time is 'are she for real?' 'is she REALLY telling me in her own way to never wear this again?'
After the bouncer said something to me I knew she was telling me to never wear it again.

then when she wouldn't hear where I had got as she interpreted me I let it go and left. But when then bouncer said something I got very upset which is understandable. I thought it was over it he said what he said. While I didn't handle it in the most mature way i do think it was BETTER then what they did.
