worst co worker experiences?

so I do plumbing and heating by trade. I was doing a major plumbing overhaul at a local hospital. All the folks there knew me and the head of maintenance had been trying to hire me away from the plumb. co. I was working for. I was considering it. However, the pay was great and I was often on prevailing wage work with this plumbing co. so i was staying.

Anyways, we hire this new guy, he was quite a bit older than me-15-20 yrs. He didn't have running water at his "house" so he only showered occasionally (if then) he had around 4 1/2 teeth in his entire mouth and he smoked like a chimney. I'm talking lighting one off the other type smoking.

We are in the crawlspace of this hospital running new drains and he lights up. I'm like WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? It's ok man he mumbles through his scruffy half bearded half toothed mouth, they can't smell it upstairs. I shake my head and go back to work.

Later I am upstairs working and I can clearly smell smoke coming up through the core holes we had drilled in the floor for the drains. I went down and chewed his ass. I told him that if he didn't quit smoking in the crawl I was gonna call the boss and get his ass fired.

Now i'm not the type to rat on anyone, and I'm a smoker too. I often break smoking rules at places, just not so much at work. You have to respect the customers wishes. This guy had the potential to lose us our contract with the hospital and possibly get me fired in the process, also ruining my relationship with maintenance at the hospital where I have an open job offer still.

I simply can not tolerate someone jeopardizing my job and well being by them acting like an asshat. Thank god he believed me cuz I really didn't want to make that call. In the end It didn't matter anyway, he got fired a month or so later.

My manager acts like a spoilt child. Literaly stamps her feet if she doesnt get her own way, shit would be funny if it wasn't so tragic.

Fuck bosses man, who needs them.

these stories you guys posted helped a lot, thanks. i'm still pissed, just not as much after reading the responses.

the boss just called, he said that bob told him we got into an argument over sweeping up his shit, lol. i told him what's up and he gave me two options, 1. we can have a meeting between the three of us to hash this out or 2. i can come in early and on the weekends when no one is there, basically make my own hours. i chose 2.

I have a zillion shity times but we used to get a sweet revenge.We made brake parts for cars in a factory.This dude weasels his way to management after a few key backstabs.Well now he thinks he can front and forget about it b/c he in on the drug testing now.
Well when his bill would get to high among people on the floor we'd simply send out bad parts.
That douche bag and 2 of his ass kissers would have to fly to Tennesse ans sort through thousands and thousands of parts to find the bad ones.To many bad ones the co would lose its contracts.Those contracts meant his new job.roflmao

some of you may remember i posted up a thread about a co worker who had a concealed weapon permit who was mentally unstable. since then I've gotten back to the point where we can talk to eachother without her giving me an attitude or just flat out ignoring me. well, today i got into it with another co worker who was giving me a shit attitude for the past few weeks. this morning he finally blew up when I was sweeping "too fast" according to him. this co worker, we'll call him "bob" was mad because I was working too fast. can you believe that shit? I responded in a calm and cordial manner asking him if I had offended him in some way and if so that i would apologize and that I didn't want any trouble. instead he ignores what I said and continues to berate me about how i work too fast so I blew up and yelled "fuck you" and stormed out.

thinking about my reaction now I'm embarassed about it but i still stand by my stance that it was a rediculous thing to yell at someone for especially since bob likes to take smoke breaks every 15 minutes and make 10 minute phone calls once an hour when the boss isn't there. i'm still livid about the situation, wish i would have kept my cool and ignored him and just continued to work... too late now.

now I have to wait for the call from my boss. I can picture the scene in my head:

boss walks in the shop, "the growery didn't come into work today?" bob replies, "no he stormed off and said "fuck you" to me."
boss says, "really!? i wonder what his problem is" bob replies, "i don't know, he has a real bad attitude"

i can't wait to tell the boss the argument was over me working too fast. rediculous.

sorry for the rant. can someone else post about bad co worker experiences and what you did?

My very first Job was when I was 16 worked at Burger King.

I was working for a little over a Month, before I requested a Transfer. I wanted it, because it was 30 minutes closer to my Crib.

As soon as I requested it, I got picked on. Every fuckin day. Another month had passed, and I was suppose to get the transfer 2 weeks ago. So I talked to the Manager, we were cool, I was like "so whadup with that transfer"?
She said I'm getting it done.

Couple days later, another manager comes up to me and says, change your pants. You can't wear those here.
Even though when I got the Job, I was told Black Pants were always to be Worn.
So now I'm thinking, okay? What pants would work here? She says Dickie Pants. By tomorrow.

I said, I can't afford that I need to wait intill next payday. She says, tomorrow or you're suspended.
So I got the God damn Pants... Went in the next day, and the same Bitch walked up to me and says, did you get your pants?
I said, yes, Yes I did... I'm wearing them. But, since they were not the Dickie pants with the Buttons on the Back pockets. I got suspended...

I said, WOW!! It must be GREAT! to be a Manager at Burger King. You Fuckin Cunt!


And quit....

got one co worker who no matter what believe any attempt to better ones life is stupid. got a OCD guy who believes in actling like a child and authority when shit isnt his way, the truest of bigots. believes that shit fuck cunt bitch are all profanity that the bible states specifically these words are in fact profanity. another who believes giving his employees pills to pay them is how business can be settled when times are tight.

When I was a Teamster we would have "slow downs" for managers we didn;t like. This one guy thought you had to grind everyone into the ground, yelling/screaming, and berating them in front of others to be en effective manager. He even told us in a group meeting once that he would rather be feared than respected. Of course we all started laughing aloud. On his shifts we would drive the forklifts as slow as possible (for safety), and if someone was pushing a cart we would have standoffs about who could go first (more safety), every movement was well thought out and we would consult each other on loading..... lots of headscratching and deliberation (pulling several other guys off their jops to brainstorm). It was actually quite funny. We worked like champs for the other three managers who gave us our assignments and worked WITH us to resolve issues. That clown was fired after about 4 months.

Damn some interesting stories here for sure. :cool:

In the 70's I managed to get away with enough shit to make it to middle management aboard a military vessel with a flight deck about 36 feet above water line. And on this day in port in Kayo Huso at quarters on the flight deck one of my junior petty officers (E-5) tells me an Fireman Apprentice (E-2) is disrespecting him & telling him to fuck off.
We broke into departments after the official shit was over - I grabbed his collar, pulled him aside & asked about the incident. He tells me his little sob story that just pisses me the fuck off & I pitched him off the flight deck into Key West harbor.
He thought just because his father was an Admiral I would be impressed.



Not !


Prolog: The Skipper (an O-6) and I had words in his cabin afterwards - he saw it my way.

i went for 6 months straight at a call center next to the most wretched smelling human that ever walked the face of the earth. less than 4 feet away.

imagine the smell of inside your belly button after 2 days of not showering in 100 degree humid weather, and then add ammonia and barf. and then try to cover it with perfume that no one under the age of 80 would wear. that's what the fuck she smelled like. every fucking day. she also had some kind of skin condition with her elbows that left thick white shit on the armrest of her chair. desks were assigned. there was no getting out of the arrangement.

i came in one day to find her chair at my desk with all the thick white shit on the armrest. as i was swapping the chair with the one that was at her desk she came waddling around the corner and started freaking out. she started screaming about how i was stealing "her chair" and how i'm probably the one who stole her stupid corny calender that i would never want because it had fucking ladybugs on it. i told her our chairs got swapped and i made the excuse that "i know it's not my chair because it won't adjust to the way i like it" because i'm not a rotten person and didn't want to call her out on her skin thing in front of everyone. she kept screaming that i had no reason to think that she took my chair because there are 6 other people in that row that could've taken it. sigh.

the supervisor finally came over because of the ruckus and tried to shut the bitch up and he decided to separate us to get each of our stories. when we were in his office i exploded about her skin paste on the chair and how she fucking stinks and makes annoying creaky sounds all day in her chair and CLIPS HER FUCKING NAILS and how i don't give a fuck if he reports me to hr because she's gross and i couldn't take it anymore.

she got moved and my whole row got brand new chairs because the other ones were "old" and they actually assigned chairs to particular workstations so they could charge the correct employees for damage. it turns out they were planning on replacing chairs anyway. my performance metrics went up by 20% in the next 2 weeks, all because i could breathe.

I had someone that used to sit next to me at an old job in an office setting. They would always bitch about the way people's food smelled on the reg. Sometimes I like to get a rise out of people if they get on my nerves so for 2 weeks straight I made some super potent Indian food and took it with everyday :twisted: LOL
