Have you ever wanted to tell a co-worker off, but 'cant' because you all need each others' help?

...to a certain extent.

I have a co-worker who says things in such a snarky, condescending way. I get tired of it.
I refrain from saying some things because it's like, I already know what kind of reaction I'm gonna get.
I want to tell her about her fat self but we work closely. I might have a question about work and she's the closest. I don't like her anyway.

Put on your work face and do what's necessary to get the job done. You don't have to deal with her outside of work, so keep a professional distance. In the long run, telling her off isn't going to solve anything.

@DreamyCrush true. I just want to tell her " you're so rude' or " oh I forgot you're the expert" or "oh, you didn't know that? You know everything else". She always has to try and one-up you. Or say what you JUST said, but louder to make sure SHE is the one who is heard. Or re-word what you just said.

I am retired now. But I do know a way you might feel better. Just see her as a character in a television sitcom. You can even give the sitcom a name. Pretend you are watching the latest episode.

Yeah. I sometimes help solve interpersonal disputes at my workplace with my union duties buuuut...

Some people are assholes and the best you can do is put up with it. If she goes to far you can stiffly go "I treat you with professional respect and all I ask is you do the same." but that only works so much.
