ShareMumbai: A colleague talking behind your back: Direct confrontation in this case is sometimes the best solution. It is best not to be a coward and round up the errant person right away.
A mean room-mate:Take a mini-vacation for ten days, go live with another friend and leave a message on her answering machine.
Your man's jealous ex-girlfriend: This should be the least of your worries, because if your man is with you, he is in love with you and not her. It's probably best to just ignore the green-eyed monster.
Your ex's current flame: There is no point breaking your head on this one. Just go and find yourself another hottie and flaunt him about town.
Screaming co-passenger on a crowded train: Just put on your ear-plugs and smile or even better, simply stare him or her down.
A friend threatening to kiss and tell: Ignorance is the best policy. Make the person aware that he or she is almost non-existent for you.
A colleague who steals credit for your work: Either tell your boss the truth or just pray your colleague gets sick soon.
How to deal with a bitchy boss: You have had it! Go, chuck your job and move on. Brighter times lie ahead.
Your irritating neighbour who reminds you, that you are pushing 30 and single: It is wise not to upset a neighbour (After all, who will lend you that extra cup of sugar when you run out of supplies?) Find ways to tell her how happy you are being single, and all the freedom you can enjoy without added responsibility.
A troublesome maid who lets out your family secrets: Fire her.
Period.
