Incompetent and annoying co-intern

I’m an intern in a boutique firm (very lean team. My cointern (Becky) is not only extremely incompetent (doesn’t know what a DCF is), but makes sexist jokes towards men, is very loud and obnoxious in the office, and makes personal attacks disguised as jokes towards me. Normally would be ok with those jokes but I don’t like her and they’re not entirely appropriate and I don’t want them said in the office. Office is super lean but hours aren’t great so I have to spend a lot of time with this girl

I’m performing extremely well, midterm feedback was that I was on track for the RO, so this is Just more a rant, like how did me and this girl end up in the same spot?? Worst part is that Ana/asso are entertaining this whole charade. Wondering if they’re picking up on it or see her as a personality. If she returns full time I might lose it

I’m bored at work anyone else have dealt with annoying co-interns so I feel better aboit this one?

Formally challenge her to a duel (blades, pistols, etc.) and defend your honor. This is the only acceptable response in this scenario.

Your ANs/ASOs are 'entertaining the charade' as they want you to stand up for yourself. 

EDIT: I see that several members of the community saw fit to deliver me a 'Monkey Shit' - I encourage any of you to meet me in the lobby of 230 Vesey to engage in combat as I do not intend on having my reputation sullied like OP.

There's some truth in this. You have to stand up for yourself. When I was an analyst at a BB I went face-to-face with a Director in a group meeting that was trying to push some Ops stuff onto our desk. I got heated and had to have a conversation with the partner/desk head after (the director made a complaint). He was a cool guy and basically told me that I was right but not to blow up seniors in a 8 person meeting. His suggestion was to just hold it in and come to him after...pretty good advice, but I also think he respected me a lot more from then on for not giving a crap and saying what was right. 

 

Had a similar experience during my summer. You may think the Ana/Asso don’t notice, but any chill ones are going to pick up on it. That being said, you can’t do much about it you gotta just let her dig her own grave. She may still get the return, but the difference will show overtime. If the team is actually completely oblivious time to pack it up and rerecruit to save yourself the brain damage and maybe end up at a better spot.
