Would you tell a coworker , whom you MUST sit by for 8 hours that they are condescending sometimes?

Said person has been on vacation for a week and I've really enjoyed work without her. I'm dreading having to return and see her.

Some things she says are so snappy and condescending. She corrects everything you say, re-answers questions directly at you, usually reiterating what you just said.

Loves to explain things in a long drawn out way, when it was a simple yes or no

I think honestly people like that need that in your face talk. I don’t mean being nasty but “listen, stop rephrasing everything I say and butting into every conversation I have. We don’t need an echo to what I am saying. You need to be respectful of my time here also. 8 hours is a long time for me to bite my tongue. I’m hoping things change and my work environment improves. I need to make a living also”. Or you can just tell her to butt the hell out and myob.
