My ex-boss was a severe super duper hypochrondriac. She would regulary come in to work with some sort of phony ailment (laryngitis, weakness, joint inflamation, blurred vision, imagined cancers and reactions to food) and expect us all to fawn over her. Where I worked, we had a long hallway in our building. One day I entered the hallway and saw her there (dammit!)...she was at one end, I was at the other and we were walking towards each other. When I say "walking" I am being generous....because the minute she saw me she got this glazed look in her eyes and started staggering...yes stagging...towards me. She started clutching the wall and looking off in the distance and making low moaning sounds. I remember my exact thoughts were "Oh geez, for crying out loud, lady!" I was fed up and didn't want her to get attention, but the Mother Theresa in me eeked out an "Are you OK?" . She didn't even answer me...but blinked a little and gazed in my general direction and let out a faint "uhnnnn?". That was it. I collected myself and said a quick "OK good. I guess you're ok then." Funny part of it is she looked shocked and taken aback that I wasn't biting. I kept right on walking (a big risk I know!) and she straightened up and went on her way.
I learned something that day. Them bosses...I tell ya...they need TOUGH LOVE! Don't take their crapola!
