co-workers that are rude How in the world do I get my co-worker to stop interrupting? She expects you to respond the split second she yells from her office. If you don't respond she marches out and starts talking to me even if I'm on the phone or having another conversation. Just some sarcastic help on shutting her down would help :)

Oh my god. I know exactly where you are coming from. I'd say "I'm sorry, I'll be there in a second when I'm done." If it keeps up, explain to her that you aren't her little slave who jumps everytime she calls ♥ good luck! ]
Next time, right when she interrupts you say "Excuse me I was doing something else. We all don't have all day to talk to you. I'll talk to you if I want to talk." ]
If you are still having trouble with her butting in then drop me an e-Mail at melanie4981@hotmail.com and I will send you a poster to put up on/around your desk that will stop her in her tracks!!!
Thanks!
Mel (With a wicked glint in her eye!)

You need to just say, "Listen if I don't answer you immediately, it's because I'm busy doing something else. I promise to answer your questions as soon as I can."
Then suggest that you talk via Email! ]
Tell her plan and simple you won't tolerate her tantrums any longer. If she continues to be a problem go to Human Resources or your boss and complain. ]
tell her to calm down and tell it to her face one day before work tell her to stop and be patient because unlike her you have a job to do ]
The best way to deal with the situation would be to refuse to let her interrupt you. When she strolls into the office when you're on the phone, simply say "you’ll have to excuse me, I'm on the phone, I'll come find you as soon as I'm done" and return to your phone call. Completely ignore anything she says and eventually she'll have to stop. She only does this because she knows you'll listen to her. If her behavior isn't accomplishing her goals she'll tone it down.
The fun way to deal with the situation, since that seems to be more what your asking would be to set up a few situations in which you know she's headed to your office. Pick up the phone and pretend to be speaking to a relative, begin asking about some horribly revolting medical problem of theirs in detail (e.g.: Oh Aunt Bertha, is the boil really that much bigger? Is it still oozing?) If she doesn't want to hear it she'll leave. Repeat as necessary. ]
quit ur job get a beter one ..and when u leave cuss the hell out of her....then say bye bitch ]
tell your co-worker your busy and you can't talk at the moment or just say you gotta use the restroom something along that line!! ]
Don't be sarcastic, that will make you look bad and hard to work with. Even if your boss doesn't see/hear you saing something, somebody may "tell" on you.
Take her aside, in private, and ask her to please not yell from her office. Say something like, "I would really appreciate it if you would send me and email, call me, or just come to my desk instead of yelling from your office. It is difficult for me to concentrate on my phone conversation if I am inturrupted." Also, especially if the situation does not resolve, speak to whoever the Human Resource manager is. They should be able to speak with the rude person as an authority figure to encourage your co-worker to treat you with a little bit more respect. ]
