This is a question Bastard Colleagues

You've all known one. The brown-nosing fucker, the 'comedian', the drunk, the gossip and of course the weird one with no mates who goes bell ringing, looks like Mr Majika and sports a monk's haircut (and is a woman).

Tell us about yours...

Thanks to Deskbound for the idea

One person
(start rant)

1. Religious as all fuck, even suggesting that she can baptise me (as I am a heathen, and gosh darned proud of it!) and I wouldn’t be admitted to the Kingdom of Heaven unless God’s water was sprinkled on my forehead.
2. 45 years old and STILL a virgin (even though she is an attractive woman and her singular personality is bearable at close range for approx 48 hours solid contact – when the other ones kick in it can be a bit disturbing)
3. Stalks male members of the staff. Has actually approached girlfriend of one staff member to explain to her that she cannot help the way he must feel about her as she can sense it whenever she walks into a room where he is. (he does not like her at all)
4. spread rumours about above male staff member and another female staff member (not girlfriend) having an affair. When pointed out by me that this was definitely NOT the case, she commented that ‘she must have got it wrong’.
5. also semi stalks other staff members (female) to the point she goes around to their houses after hours (after looking up their addresses on our data base) to complain about how nobody likes her. Unfortunately, the people who she visits end up disliking her too.
6. Told me once she didn’t like having a bath because she didn’t like seeing her body naked. (I presume she showers, but I don’t think she scrubs her ladybits)
7. she smells (see above)
8. is obsessed with other peoples lives. If you ask her any personal questions she avoids answering them. I once let slip a bit of information that she had recently purchased a small flat (completely innocently and with the only intention to initiate normal conversation between her and co worker) and was told in no uncertain terms that I was not to speak to ANYBODY about her personal life.
9. Has had no boyfriend in the time she has been here. (8 years). But then again, she probably wouldn’t tell anybody. (see above). Actually, has had no relationship that we are aware of. But talks about how she can’t wait to get married and have children etc etc…….. (she’s 45)
10. Is completely incompetent in her job. (Reception work) We have complained for 6 years about her, she is finally being moved elsewhere so she can be incompetent somewhere else.
11. She sucks up something shocking to the hierarchy who think she’s ‘sweet’. That’s why she has survived so long.
12. She complains to above hierarchy that we treat her bad. No we don’t. We just choose to minimise our dealings with her and avoid her as much as possible (hard when you work directly with her – but we’ve kept it professional and limited all contact to only work related issues). This has lead to us being pulled into the big bosses office and berated that we are ‘bullying her by exclusion’.
13. She can go out for two hour lunches with her hierarchy ‘friends’ that she sucks up to here, but we can’t go out for lunch (just once in 14 years mind you) with our line manager who is leaving (this was included in the ‘bullying by exclusion charge)
14. She has no memory retention. Even just this morning I was explaining I had to leave to pick up my cat from the vet. Her comment ‘you have a cat?”. (I have discussed my cat with her on numerous occasions over the last 8 years as she also has a cat – yes, something in common) This also applies to things people ask her to do, and just general day to day stuff. She has to write EVERYTHING down. If she remembers to do so, that is.
15. Anybody who has held that position in the last 14 years I’ve been here has fitted in brilliantly. We have had nothing but trouble with her since she started. Yet we are the ones at fault. Even though other staff members have complained about her as well, and the last year she has been ‘sampling’ her new job – she has rubbed people up the wrong way. Yet she is still not at fault and to add insult to injury – her new job has put her on the same wage scale as me and they have actually ‘created’ another 6 weeks of employment for her because (shock, horror) SHE HAS A MORTGAGE!!! and can’t take a cut in pay (as the new position was only 42 weeks a year)
16. She has the most incredibly loud and fake laugh.
17. She is currently training her replacement and is protecting her from us (obviously as we are EVIL). When we get hold of her next week, we’ll have to erase her memory banks, and reprogram her, as everything she has been told will be wrong. She will become one of us, and we will rejoice.

I’ve never truly hated anyone before, but I dread the days that she comes in here. Even the sound of her voice makes my hair stand on end. Considering the fact that I get along with EVERYBODY here (about 160 staff) – I am one of the bitches in this situation, and yes, I’m looking for another job………..
