    Seriously, there's always that one guy that just irritates me. We have one in my office that drives me nuts. He has his nose so far up the management's butt, I'm surprised its not coming out their mouth. He thinks he has some sort of management position, but he doesn't. I have nicknamed him "The Weasel" because he weasels his way into all sorts of things. Today, he's especially on my nerves.

    Am I the only one with this kinda problem?

    I am on the other side I dislike it when somebody attempts to kiss mybackside. They are not as bad as the tock tickers, you know that guy. The world goes tick tock like a watch, the tock tickers try to do the right thing but go about it completely the wrong way.

    Do whatever you gotta do to make it to the top.

    Just kidding - There will ALWAYS be guys like that. I just ignore them and do what I have to do.

    He took last Friday off because his wife needed him to watch the kids while she did her homework. He took a day off a while back to take his wife to a job interview. Taking days off don't bother me, just don't tell us how much of a weiner you are. It's always something like that with him.

    The people...
    Clears there throat all day
    Sniffling
    Never at the job station
    Smokers that get to go outside for ten min a hour and enlist every one around to go with them while non smokers have to cover or them.
    If you say I don't work with anyone like this.... You may be the guy

    The worst ones are the ones who just don't do crap and for some reason are never dealt with...it is amazing how good they are at hiding yet make it a point to be seen just at the right time to avoid detection.

    I think every workplace or anyplace frequented by the same crowd on a regular basis has one.

    Amd if you can't figure out who it is it's probably you :lol:

    Have a very similar situation at my work. A guy that has a "title" but no authoritative powers thinks he's the newest supervisor. It's rather humorous and sad at the same time
