I hate working with women

There's one small thing i really don't get about women. When working with guys, they're as normal as normal can be, they work, they help anyone who asks and they come out as really nice human beings.

However that's not the case when women work with women.

When women work with each other, they turn to competitive psychos who are ready to take you down no matter what. Friendship and ethics are no longer valid and survival is for the fittest.

At our office the only female collegues i had were 2 senior ones whom i didn't really get to work with due to our different responsibilities. However, there's one girl who's with me in the same departement, same responsibilities, same position and she is driving me insane.

I was the first new employee to arrive, followed by 4 guys and one girl. Which means there are 6 of us, 6 people with the same positions, yet this girl seemed to always overlook the fact that there are 4 other guys with us and chose me to stalk and watch. She always sat next to me, and even though there are a million other places and plenty of space, she always glued her chair next to mine, peeked into my laptop whenever i'm working and asked " What are you working on". If i ever left the office she'd call me in 2 minutes to ask me where did i go and what am i doing. If i printed out any papers she'd grab them, ask "what did you just print" and go through them and end up printing the same stuff sometimes.

Whenever one of the guys tells her something regarding work and asks her to pass it to me, she always seemed to forget - ya sob7an Allah, yet she always wanted to know what did the guys tell me. If any of the guys spoke to me in arabic she would leave anything she's working on and ask me " What were you talking about" (she's not an arab), but when she wanted to ask something to another guys who is from another nationality but had some of the language in common, she'd ask him in her own language, even though the guy told her a million times to not speak with him in that language because he doesn't really understand, yet she always does, and he always answers her in a mix of english and that language which gave me a clue that it's something about work, if i ask her what was that about she'll always answer " Erm, nothing" - LAAAAAA ? . She keeps going through my notes and papers, yet everytime i asked for her notes she'll say "i'm sorry but i need them right now".

Oh and i forgot to mention that she's my flat mate too. Which means all the monitoring and the hastle follows me at home too. I was once awake and studying at 4:00 am and suddenly out of nowhere she walked into the room looking half sleepy, and with her eyes barely opened she came and grabbed my notes and asked me what was i studying and then went back to bed. Tab ya bent el 7alal 2ata3ti nomtek ta te3refi sho 3am ba3mel ?!!!

So why did i remember all of this suddenly ? We're both on vacation now and for the last week she's been calling and SMSing me asking "What are you doing" , "When are you going back to Kuwait", "I know that your vacation is over so what are you planning to do now", "I want to go back when you're back", " Did you contact our manager and what did he tell you".

I managed to block her from my memory during the last month and now it's all coming back to me. I seriously don't want to go back.
