    The Crazy Co-worker Topic

    So I work with a total douchebag, the kind of sort that takes his job entirely too seriously and has just about every annoying habit their is from chewing with his mouth open to whistling stupid little songs whenever he makes a good sale. He also likes to steal everyone elses sales and does a lot of price changing he isn't supposed to just so he can get a sale (cause we have some weird commission algorithm or something). Augh, I could go on about this guy for hours.

    So anyway let's get back on point. Last night I was working here and someone came in interested in the wii, after finding out there was pretty much no chance we'd be getting any in they started to inquire about some other video game systems and small talk started to generate. I was sitting there listening the guy says that the Wii doesn't come with any games and he didn't know the price of new games. I interject, making sure I say 'excuse me' and getting attention first because I cannot ****ing stand it when this guy just decides to bark a comment my way when I'm speaking with a customer. I then say that every Wii comes with Wii Sports, a free game, and additional games are fifty dollars.

    "Oh, well the Wii I sold didn't come with Wii Sports."

    Allright, I'm already on a short leash with this guy normally but I just kind of tune him out and reiterate to the customer (who is probably confused by our bickering) that every Wii comes with Wii Sports.

    "My Wii didn't come with anything"

    The customers kind of don't listen to him though and they say stuff like "Why is it so hard to get two years in a row?" and all that. So I explain 'well the wii is still a lot cheaper than the competition and even when it came out it was only two hundred fifty dollars compared to the ps3 which was 600 and the xbox 360 which was 400"

    "The 360 is three-hundred-fifty dollars."

    "I"m talking about last year when it first came out."

    "It's 350 dollars."

    "I swear to God I will rip out your throat."

    The customers left then.

    So anyway. Does the Wii still come with Wii Sports? I went on ebgames.com and saw it did but you never know with them. Is this jackass right after all?

      God, the worst part is he gets all the sales cause he jumps up the customer's ass the second they walk in the door and they're all old people so they're all "oh that's so sweet".

      AUGH I'm stuck with this jackass from 8 am til 7 pm on sundays.

        Yeah, it does work pretty well. This kid is unhinged for sure. He throws tantrums and **** when the store doesn't even make goal.

        He's not even a manager or anything, he's the same minimum-wagee that I am.

        In fact let's move this to free form and call it the "crazy co-worker" topic.

          Man, I hate it when people who are wrong about something are convinced that they're right about it. Any human being with any damn sense could step back and wonder, "Wait a moment. Could I be mistaken?" Geez, I do it all the time, even when I'm right. So I don't embarrass my damn self.

          I had a pity pal back in high school who'd do this all the time. My friend and I worked with him on a bunch of school projects because no one else would. He reminded me of myself sometimes - nice enough guy, couldn't seem to make any friends because he didn't know how to operate socially. And then I realized he didn't make friends because he was a haughty, stubborn asshole with bad taste in everything.

          And he always used Rogue in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2. We would be like, "Let's see you beat any one of us without using Rogue," and he never would.

            Your coworker sounds like a real piece of work, man. Kick his butt!

            I could write a freaking novel on one of my coworkers. She's this old cranky hag who doesn't give a darn about anybody or anyone besides herself.

            Basically, we're all one unit and we all have to work together and cooperate to make everything go smoothly, but she refuses to cooperate with us. It's basically "This is your work and this is my work, and don't you try to help me with mine, because it's mine. That and I'm totally going to take it as a personal attack and you must think that I'm incompetent so I'm going to be huffy with you now."

            Just so you know, the NORMAL way this department operates is:

            "Oh, I'm done with my stack of filing. Can I help you with yours?"
            "Sure, of course!"
            "By the way, so and so just showed up for his appointment."
            "I just made the phone call for you."
            "Great, thanks!"

            The way it operates with her is:

            "I'm done with my filing, can I help with yours?"
            "No, I'm fine thanks. *has huge pile that could easily be shared*"
            "...*has nothing to do, so does completely mundane task like highlighting phone numbers on business cards for half an hour*"
            *two people show up for appointments, one dealt with by her and one by me*
            "Oh, I phoned for *name* and the person said she could come early if we have space."
            "Did you call for mine, too?"
            "I didn't deal with him."

            When she first started and we were learning reception duties, we learned very fast that we get a lot of angry people who want to yell at us, and the best coping mechanism for dealing with being raged at by angry people is to laugh about it after they leave. It's a stress release, so my trainer and I would go "Ha, what a jerk..." and try and shrug it off. The hag, however, if you said something like "Wow, he was pretty mean, huh?" would respond with something such as "Well, I wouldn't know. I'm not judgemental like that."

            Within two months of being at the office, she had everyone unwilling to work with her and had called us "judgemental" and "superficial" about a hundred times already. The managers had a big talk with her, but it didn't do any good. Despite a zillion and a half mistakes, including huge ones like messing up the daily stats (say, writing down that we made $30,000 when we actually made $60,000 because she added WAY wrong), they didn't fire her before her probation was up, so we're stuck with her. Of course, because I work for govermint, nobody does anything about it anyway, and the management has all but given up on dealing with her because she tells them "Well, I'm not going to change," and they're like "Oh, well, that's just how she is, we can't do anything about it, then."

            She's also a classic time waster. If it's like say, 15 minutes to quitting time, she'll putter around and do nothing for that 15 minutes, even if there's still work to do. She puts on her boots, sits around and drinks her coffee, wanders the halls for a bit, and then leaves early.

            She's infuriating at best, and what really gets us is that she gets away with murder and yet if we were to do anything remotely similar we'd get our asses reprimanded so fast our heads would spin. Hooray! Most of us have given up on talking to her, because it results in her spouting long-winded stories about herself. It works, anyway, because she won't say a word to you unless you talk to her first.

            We also had another lady in our office for a period of one week. In her first two days, she claimed she was flawless and never made mistakes, then proceeded to make tons (such as stuffing files in empty spaces on the shelf rather than back where she got them from) and yelling at the supervisor when these mistakes were pointed out. She made enemies out of everybody in those first two days, cussed everybody out, started a rivalry with another coworker, and quit by Friday.
            "They shouldn’t have called it Earth, they should have just called it the wipe-your-own-butt planet."

              I had a guy I worked with at a deli, and he only actually did anything half of the time. All the rest of the time he'd spend checking out girls in the aisles of the store. then he'd leave the deli and FOLLOW THEM AROUND. no joke.

                    So I'm stuck with this douche nozzle (thank you, Highwind) again.

                    He gets into a fight with his girlfriend over the phone and goes into the back. Me and a friend who is visiting the store stay in the front of the store, shooting the **** and watching spongebob over the tube until we hear screaming and banging from the back.

                    What a ****ing wacko.

                      Why can't they just leave that crap at home

                      Evidently, there's a civil war starting within the upper management in food services here on campus. Apparently the new manager, Craig, is being a total Andy by sucking up to the boss and the older manager. They're all cracking down on another manager, Billy, and Billy won't let me hear the end of it. He's a nice guy, but it seems to have this "if you're not with me you're against me" mentality, so I always have to be like, "OH YEAH, THOSE GUYS IS ASSHOLES."

                      Man our generation is turning work into high school
