Yeah ... Started a reply a couple of times and each time nothing really useful was the result. Some people are just like that, and hopefully we wind up not working closely with them going forward.
A lot of basic "correction methods" (eaten by lion, dismemberment by wildebeest, almost died from eating bad berries, getting smacked for mouthing off to the wrong person, etc.) have been removed or remediated in the past 10k years or so, and some recessive traits seem to be re-expressing in the gene pool.
Being willing to learn is a huge step in the right direction.
Years ago, I was a Teaching Assistant for a professor of psychology that was teaching FORTRAN. He had a method of programming which was entirely mental. He would internalize the (trivial) program, then test it, in his head. If it didn't work, he would "through it out" and do an entirely new design.
All of this in his head.
He was teaching "FORTRAN for Engineers." I explained to him that engineers are taught the method you use. Move towards the solution in steps. Verify, if it doesn't get you closer, back up a step or two and go in another direction.
Your coworker wanted you to show her the answer. She didn't know how to get the answer on her own. She didn't know how to solve problems. She either had the answer or she started an entirely new solution.
i have a “tech” that is paid to do the same job I do… his official name is “ job security “ because I end up going to fix what he supposedly has fixed.. unofficially he is called “know-it-all- paul cause he has this same attitude. people like this make a job harder than it has to be..

Some people deserve to fail, and thereby yield entertainment to the rest of us.
When working with people like her, I soon step off and entertain myself watching them become frustrated and angry.
Schadenfreude.
