How I Survived Working With an Overgrown Child

Ever found yourself stuck with someone who acts like a toddler in an adult body? Yeah, me too. My coworker, let’s call him Dave, could turn any meeting into a circus with his tantrums and blame games. At first, I tried reasoning with him—big mistake. It was like arguing with a brick wall that occasionally throws crayons at you. Eventually, I learned to keep my cool, limit our interactions, and communicate clearly (even if he was busy sulking). Sometimes, I’d just walk away mid-rant, pretending I had an urgent email—because, honestly, my sanity is more important than his drama. The hardest part? Not stooping to his level, even when he deserved a taste of his own medicine. But hey, someone’s got to be the grown-up, right? 😅 #FriendshipProblems #EmotionalMaturity #WorkLife
