People like that have emotional issus - I think it is a mental illness of sorts personally. So if you can think of her as "sick" and when you talk to her, just say nothing personal about yourself, just like you are doing, and smile, talk about the weather may, if you have to talk to her, just something neutral. If she ever asks your or prods you for what is going on in your life, just always say that everything is great, everything is wonderful, can't even believe how good everything is!

Ask to speak with his supervisor and also
write a letter to the bank (and headquarters) telling them what happened and make sure you get the man's name and refer to him often in your letter.

Was that supervisor in the military or something?

One day you should have all plotted together and when she came in the room, jumped up and saluted. ROFL

I had a barium enema quite a while ago and my splenic flexure goes up really high and then twists. Sometimes gas will get stuck in there and it will hurt like the dickens. I'm glad I had the BE, though, because I know what it is and that it will pass in a little while. If it didn't, I would be at the urgent care pronto.

LOL - I think we must've had the same supervisor!
