Laura realized that Rita was actually quite skilled when it came to implementing the new procedure effectively. She learned not to judge Rita's intelligence based solely on her quiet demeanor, and gained a newfound appreciation for her coworker's abilities. This experience taught Laura the importance of not making assumptions about people's capabilities based on superficial observations.
misjudging other people's abilities
Yes it is

Because she thought that you were just the sexiest thing on the face of the earth.
It depends on the conscience and compassion of a person to know how a coworker feels. It is not hard for many to imagine how a coworker feels because to be empathetic means to put oneself in another's place.
Yes.
Most good companies want the employed to get along with their coworkers. No, you should not work against your coworker or make them look bad because you will only lose in the end.
No, it is inappropriate and a breach of privacy for a coworker to give out your personal information without your permission. Personal information should be kept confidential in a professional setting to ensure trust and respect among colleagues. If this happens, it is important to address the issue with the coworker and possibly involve HR.
No, except at the beginning of a sentence because it is n ot a proper n ou n.
Dropping small hints may be ineffective because the coworker might not pick up on them or understand their significance. It's more efficient to have a direct and honest conversation with your coworker about their behavior and how it is affecting you. This can help clarify the issue and lead to a more productive resolution.

If the coworker is your boss or somehow superior to you in rank, then do not correct them in front of the visitor. I myself have gotten in trouble for doing that myself and have learned my lesson. If it is a coworker that has the same authority that you do, then unassertively suggest the correct answer. For example say, "Joe, I believe that it's...." or "Are you sure? I thought you had to...." If the coworker is still adamant in his or her information, don't push it because it would be unprofessional to bicker and fight in front of a customer/visitor. Either wait for that person to walk away and discuss it and maybe you can chase them down if its that important, or discuss it with your superior if you think the coworker is being stubborn about issues like this.
