OK so im bored sitting at home while its quiet with my business i have started working at my dads place of work, labouring.

Today I was put on a specific job and was getting asked by a lithuanian girl for help all morning moving pallets etc. I was helping her out but when the supervisor seen he asked for me to stay on my job, which i was cool about.

The lithuanian girl then asked me to move a pallet which is literally 5 feet away from her and I say I cant, its only their anyway and pointed at it. She then said SHAME ON YOU and ran off to get her boyfriend crying (who is also lithuanian) he comes over and starts shouting at my supervisor saying that i had been arrogant and she cant move the pallet as she is exhausted from working 14 hour days every day (apart from sunday :confused:). He then turns to me and swears at me - which I cant put on the forum. Basically stop being a ****** ****, aggressivly. I then asked my supervisor to confirm what I had heard, he answered yes and trys to calm the whole situation down and the lad leaves. I then go up to the supervisor and tell him I think he was out of order and he basically laughs it off :confused: Has a word with the lad and girl but nothing serious.

Im slightly annoyed with this and I want to know what I can do about it?
 
keep your head down and avoid them both.

if it happens again complain, if nothing happens i would leave. not worth the bother
 
Yes, I have let it just go over my head but I do not appreciate people talking to me like that. I have a few tricks up my sleeve ;)
 
I'm not sure I entirely understand... The Lithuanians were annoyed with you because you wouldn't do the girl's job for her?

I'd of told them to **** right off.

1. Why is she working 14 hour days?
2. If she can't do the job herself why is she being employed?

Sounds like a bit of a dodgy company if you ask me.
 
Just ignore it :) being arrogant isn't a sackable offence (even though we know you weren't) but being abusive and threatening can be so you've got nothing to worry about but Boris and Borisetta do. Just do as you are now, keep your head down and follow what your supervisor says.

Also she's probably tired and on.
