workplace bullying-how can i tell the manager-what can they Options

[bosco]

i'm working at this place as a lot attendant , been there for 3 wks so far, there is also newer guy(jeff) whos been here for 2 weeks .
so far working with the team washing cars and picking up customers has been good.
the thing is when working with jeff on the three days he is here, he would at time be little me, call me a f** idiot.
an example i was backing into a stall in the parking lot -being a tight spot and a big suv next to it, i found it hard to park. it took sometime manuevering it and playing with the steering-eventually i got it into park.
well jeff would laugh and point and say omg why didn't you park it in straight wise -omg your a f** idiot

other times he would point out in a big attitude way--- as why i am just sitting around -when i just came back from picking up a customer-i guess he didn;'t now i just came back from picking up a customer

pretty much the guy calls me f** idiot ,omg joey your such a dumb....etc,
i think it harassement and work place bullying. i'm don;t want confrontation , but i want to report it to my manager, but what happens if he does nothing about it or goes on jeff's side, i can report it to the district manager, but what happens if he parts with jeff side too. what can i do after that then. what if they fire me or transfer me to somewhere far, where i can even work.
what are some things i can do. i want to be transferred to another location if possible or even work on his days off and have a day off when he is working

i really don't like this guy

It's just his stupid manner of speaking. Hang in there and he'll leave soon, or else you could mastermind his demise from the background, but that would require extra effort on your own part, for he's on his way soon anyway, without you needing to cut the brakelines on his car just yet.

How bout u stand up for urself? thats the only way u can stop bullies. I once had a bully at work one day I just cuss him out and gave him this look like I was gonna kill him, from that on he stop talking to me fking pussy ahhaha. Bullies only attack on the weak if you show him ur weak he won't stop.

You're an adult, don't go running off to the manager without speaking to that @$$hole yourself, you're at work not primary school.
Go up to the guy and tell him you don't appreciate him speaking to you in such a vile manner and you'd appreciate it if he refrained from doing so in the future. Keep your cool, be polite. If he continues to be a c@ck, try again but if that fails go to the manager and tell him exactly what you said. If you're that concerned record it when you say it.

oh!!!.. you don't like it when people say the "f" word? lol so you're pretty much offended? >.<

[SBLucas]

Don't be a snitch. Noone likes whiners. Just stand up for yourself or ignore it.

Just talk to him about it. He may just be joshing you and doesn't realize you're taking it seriously. Some people have that kind of relationship, where they just rag on each other all the time for fun, he may not see that's not your style. Talk to him, don't run to the manager first, if you do, it will cause more tension getting him in trouble, he will problably know you filed the complaint.

you really shouldn't tolerate that behavior from anyone..doesn't matter where you're at..that kind of behavior is just not acceptable
you're a f** idiot.
i highly doubt he's offended by the use of the "f" word

then why shouldn't he "tolerate" this "behaviour"? lol what a dingus
