[There's some part of Peridot that knows she needs to be the bigger person here, and make an attempt to not be a vindictive piece of shit to Zim? She is his boss, after all, and being crappy to her underlings probably won't reflect well on her. But... their first meeting was just so epically catastrophic that it's really, really hard to resist.
She's actually off duty when she sees him marching around the ride area of the carnival, and... She doesn't actually say anything at first? Zim might not even realize she's there right away unless he feels the burning scowl she's directing towards him from a short distance away. She knows he's not actively doing anything to warrant her ire at the moment, so he's just going to get the vicious stinkeye for the time being.
