    If you follow that simple guideline you wil never get into a mess like this
    But then she will set you up for ignoring her.

    Seriously.

    With women like that you can't win simply because you are better skilled and more talented then them.

    You've put me right off the iPad.

    To clarify though, I'm not clutching at straws - I'm right. You're an idiot.

    But - more importantly. Why can't you spell you're properly anymore? This never used to be an issue for you. Did you learn something new recently? I wonder if this has been pushed out of your brain somehow.

    The above outlines your probable approach to such a situation.

    Threatening co-workers? Nowt wrong with that, do it outside of the working environment and no witnesses.
