What are they taking photographs with? If their own phones, is it company policy that they may use them in work time?But a banker, engaged at enormous expense,Had the whole of their cash in his care.

Just make joke replies, they will get the message...
"Your lazy|" Just say thanks for noticing, but if I was you, I be more worried about myself...
Short, sweet and humour. Don't let them see they are even getting to you, bat it straight back. They will give up...0 -
I think contacting the manager is the right thing to do, but... I do think that you might need to grow some thicker skin too, and stop letting petty people bother you.
As a teacher, I frequently tell kids who moan about having to work with someone they don't like that it is good practice for later life, when they will often have to remain professional and work alongside people they perhaps can't stand.
I used to work night shift in a factory (summer job) and was accused of being lazy by some of the older women who worked there, as I used to read whilst packing the plastic parts. Ironically, my machine ran at the same rate as theirs, so not sure how that would make me lazy, as I kept up with it!
Wherever you go, you will come across the jobsworth brigade, so it is best to learn to ignore/tolerate them.Should've = Should HAVE (not 'of')
Would've = Would HAVE (not 'of')
No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)0 -
If you complain to the manager about them it may be an idea if you refer to them as 2 female colleagues rather than the 50 year old and the 65 year old women.

As others have said:
- Document EVERYTHING in a diary, get 'hard' evidence where possible. If you can remember dates and details of past incidents, put them in now
- Don't expect them to do much about it (harsh but true)
- Are you in a union?
- Consider looking for another job
Good luck0
