There's someone at work who's above me but treats me like she's a kindergarden teacher.

Like she'll tell me to write something down, then proceed to explain how I should hold my pen.

Of course that exact situation didn't happen, but every time she tells me to do something it feels like this!

1. TELL her that. Not in those words, but say "seriously. I've got this."

2. If that doesn't work, is there anyone above her you can talk to?

I had a colleague above me bully me for years - I kept thinking it would get better, but it only got worse, to the point where she really was basically telling me how to hold my pen. I honestly think if I'd told her to STFU from the beginning, yeah, she would've hated me more (as opposed to seeming to like me until she didn't, which was how it was), I could have saved myself a lot of misery.

Agreed with previous comment. Smile warmly and humorously as if you're best buds and say, "Thanks [name], I've got this" or "Thank you, I've got it now". The key is pretending to be 100% sincere and grateful and to beam like she's handed you an award.

I haaaaaaate it when people act like that. Reminds me so much of my now-thankfully-transferred-away manager.

"You remember how to do this, right? Do you know where the wet floor signs are? Do you remember how to do your paperwork [that you've been doing for months]?" UGH SHUT UP.
