People share their nightmare co-worker stories

what is your nightmare co-worker story currently working with a person who has had a sinus infection since November 2016 that's right wet chunky coughs nine hours a day five days a week for going on 10 months no she does not leave the team area for coughing attacks she just wretches up whatever it is and gulps it back down ten months of that in a quiet office sounds like she should see a doctor or is just a very heavy smoker she is one of those old people who doesn't believe in going to the doctor again if what they gave you the first time didn't work and won't go to the doctor period until they've been sick for weeks the crazy thing is that our workplace is very flexible with working from home for people with health issues but she insists on coming to the office to make disturbing noises all day in the middle of everyone I hate her so much at this point the day she got fired she texted the manager that she needed to come in late and leave early and she wanted her old shift back she'd been switched to a later time because she was constantly calling off or coming in late also she needed a raise we found out that she had been posting [ __ ] about employees in the business on Facebook where she was friends with half of the staff at aforementioned business pretty sure she was stealing too I work in a dog grooming salon my cow walker is a self-professed cat person she doesn't like our customers she doesn't like most dogs she complains if she's booked dogs she complains if she isn't booked dogs she somehow never managed to commission and complains about that - she never helps clean and when I closed with her she will disappear because at 8:30 p.m. apparently she has to take a 20-minute poop in the bathroom she claims to be allergic to most foods but still eats McDonald's and Burger King she allegedly has celiac disease but has never been tested she also is allergic to cats flowers latex almost anything despite claiming to be an avid gardener the one time a cow walker got flowers she insisted they be removed from our work area because she was allergic when another cow walker received balloons she has said on more than one occasion she likes to find out people's weaknesses and pick at them one of my cow Walker's lives with her in-laws as both of them have student dead they are very close to paying off I will constantly add small digs at her like not that you would know it's not like you have to pay rent or a mortgage like real adults everyone complains about her but how one manager has worked with her since the beginning and clearly doesn't feel comfortable talking to her and our other manager is BFF s with her husband she is good at her job and even deals with difficult dogs well she just has such a [ __ ] personality and is so negative about everything I have a co-worker who insists on talking to me like I have zero knowledge in my field despite me actually having more experience and a higher job title than him he also lectures people likely is their manager even if they have been there longer than him I even listen to him reprimand his own supervisor he just gave me a lecture the other day on how to install a network printer I've been in it for eight years now and in a hell of a lot more industries than he has work in an office have a colleague who is literally the world's worst diabetic I'm fairly certain she has Munchausen's her eyes are going and she has problems with her feet she makes a huge deal about making sure everyone sees her take her insulin and then eats a whole giant bag of her rebo five bags of crisps and half a cake I really wish I was exaggerating it's ridiculous we keep having to ring ambulances for her because she's eaten too much sugar she's nearly killed herself at least twice as a result oh and she's recently decided she's a super right-wing Christian that our gay colleague is going to hell and shouldn't be living with his boyfriend and that she is saving herself until her current partner and her get married which they plan to do next year even though they met in March worth noting she has banked her way around one of the other departments and is divorced she's a total ducking nutbar I have posted stories of Karen before like the time the meeting didn't go her way so she smashed a keyboard across her desk and went home or how she would sit behind me disparaging me for being a pathetic male or how she ducking stank of wet dog all the time or how she derailed a safety critical update because nobody was allowed to criticize her code or how she demanded that I should be fired when I called her out for falsifying reports new guy I was training to cook at KFC slower than a sloth and whenever I would show him the way we do things he would just do it his slowest way and say it's easier you haven't even tried the way we are supposed to do it he put his jersey on top of the cardboard boxes which were on top of the lockers I grabbed his jersey off to get a box down and his phone fell out of his pocket and hit the ground I picked it up and checked if it smashed it hadn't so I put it back in his box and went on with work the next day he came up to me angry as hell saying I have to pay for a new phone because I smashed his he showed me his phone and there was literally a two millimeter crack in the bottom right-hand corner I just told him maybe he shouldn't put his stuff on top of things that we needed every day this was within three days of him starting he was a smart guy but an absolute zero in the social department and general tasks Dennis his name was ducking Dennis Dennis is a biker Dennis was a recovering addict Dennis thought it would be a good idea to party with 16-year old girls and do ecstasy while on a work trip Dennis is in his forties and looks like he's been rode hard and put up wet Dennis decided to go out and spend all of his rent money on cocaine while on a work trip in Hollywood Florida and disappear all night and show up the next morning coked out of his mind demanding that I not rat him out Dennis thought it would be a good idea to get shitty wasted drunk and drive back to the event we were working shit-faced Dennis got pulled over and got arrested for DUI Dennis got the company work vehicle impounded Dennis got left in Florida and had to take a greyhound home Dennis got drunk on stage and almost got our company kicked out of the event because he decided to dance around while the band was performing like he was in the band Dennis still shows up to family Thanksgiving and Christmas parties Dennis has never been invited this lady in a different department has been here for 30 years and thinks the department I work in shouldn't exist thus she makes it her life's mission to duck up our work at every twist and turn she has contact with many of our clients and will deliberately sabotage events we have planned for them she refuses to do stuff that is part of her job description and forces us to do it she gossips all the time and I've discovered on numerous occasions that I'm either gay a fascist a liar a womanizer or just plain incompetent for the record I'm none of these things the only reason she's still around is she's best friends with the boss and so not only as a job protected but crossing her means a call into the boss's office she's a nightmare and everyone but the boss wants her gone I had a co-worker who started back in 2012 about the same time as me I had been with the company for a while before but this was a new role to both of us we got off to a great start she seemed to know her stuff was funny could joke around with the boys etc however over time small things started to pop up she didn't seem to get what she was supposed to be doing her work started to get dumped on the rest of the team she was still dishing out the jokes but couldn't really take them anymore started talking about her sex life in extreme detail spreading false rumors about people at work talking about them behind their backs just little things really but they added up to where I couldn't stand her anymore finally she reported me to house for discrimination I don't actually remember what she said about me but it was something ridiculous thankfully my manager had known me for a while and this kind of behavior on my part seemed out of the ordinary we talked about it and she realized this lady was full of it a short while later she was let go as part of company restructuring it was a bit of a nightmare to deal with her every day after she started getting on my nerves I used to work in an office and we had this new guy start on his first day on the job he came in really early for some reason keen I guess and I arrived sometime after him we were the only two in our company's section of the building besides the janitor who unlocks every morning I went into the toilets to take my morning Sh before too many of my colleagues arrived and I find this guy I've never met before standing with his back to the urinal with his pants around his ankles D tucked between his legs peeing backwards into it it looked like he was peeing out his butt he looked up at me and I just sort of froze not really comprehending what I was seeing instead of reacting like any normal person would he just stared me down and continued being he maintained eye contact the entire time unable to fathom the kind of balls this guy had I lost my nerve and just sort of backed out and shut the door I saw him around a few times that morning and he would keep his eyes locked on mine no matter what way his body was facing it would have been super uncomfortable even if I hadn't caught him doing that what makes him a nightmare co-worker is that he told everyone in the office that he had caught me doing what I in fact had caught him doing I never even heard him speak the people in my office already thought I was a bit ducking strange so when I protested and told him which way round it happened no one believed me he quit by lunchtime that same day
