This is the only scenario where her response makes a little sense. Because why would she accuse you of not helping her find an employee otherwise.

I told her that I haven’t seen anyone who isn’t already helping someone and then I walked away.

I’m not exactly sure why/how I was rude but I’m also on the spectrum and have issues with understanding social cues at times. Advice?


Not rude and you would have been well within your rights to tell her that you don't work for her either.

You sound lovely and she is so insanely rude and obnoxious!

I also wondered about your races and whether that was a factor.

She probably has a form of dementia.

I have to assume she thought you meant you didn’t work in that section or something because otherwise that response was bizarre.

You did nothing wrong and a normal person would have said "Oops, sorry!", not expected you to find her an employee!

She was rude. I wouldn’t have pointed her to the “right person” either. Both times, you don’t work there.

Lol, the only polite response to someone saying "I don't work here" is to say oops! Nevermind! I am so sorry!

She was def the rude one

You don't work there, you have no obligation to help her in any way nor should you be expected to.

You’re fine, OP. She should have been the one to apologize, not you.

She was rude 1000%. You were not.
