As a teenager, I worked at a bowling alley. I greeted a new girl as she came in, and she just stuck her tongue out at me. Within the hour, she was fired for dropping a ball on a complaining patron’s foot.

Not as bad as some, but I'll never forget the 22ish year old girl who spent hours of one shift telling me, with no prompting at all, about how she used to be a raging heroin addict but she was over it now and had become extremely religious. She went into very explicit detail about her drug deals and the things she'd done to get drugs. My shy homeschooled ass was stunned.

The very next day she got fired for stealing 20 dollars from the cash register.

I had a woman corner me on my first day and tell me the story about how her husband left her for another women right before they were supposed to go on a cruise for their 25th wedding anniversary and that she was sure he never would have left her but the "other" woman must have snuck in while her husband was being hypnotized to quit smoking and convinced him to leave her while he was under said hypnosis. I really felt sorry for her and was talking to my sister (who worked in a different department) about it during our lunch break and she told me it happened over 15 years ago and she still tells the story like it just happened. She continued to tell this story and try to get sympathy from everyone for the 10+ more years that she worked here.

Girl I worked with when I was a personal shopper. She tried to get me fired a couple of times because she saw I was moving up faster than her. We both got sent to work at a different location for a couple of months and she went around bad-mouthing me to anyone who would listen, so they thought I was a sh*te employee and she was amazing. I proved myself with my work ethic and they realized she was a liar and it definitely changed their opinion of her.

I ended up going to a different location and when she went back to our original location she continued to say horrid things about me. My co-workers took my side and called her out on her BS. She left not long after on a bad note with them.

My manager a few jobs ago. It was a tech company. We were the marketing team, which really just meant digital marketing. She had a very loose grasp on how our various tech platforms worked, and one day said to me when discussing her exasperation at posting a YouTube video to our brand channel:

"I don't really understand the internet."

She was dead serious. It was 2014. She was ultimately fired.

The 50 something Turd that was the owners son. Spoiled brat, reminded me constantly who he was if I stood up to him. Creepy as hell too, could never just tell any of the women they looked nice, actually told me one day that my legs looked nice...I was wearing a skirt. That was the last time I wore a skirt to work for a long time.

I immediately started looking for a new job within a month. There were so many other things that occurred I was turned off from working for a small family owned business since.

In civil service, there was this one woman who:

Actively hit other people.

Changed entered times on timesheets without the original party's consent (this is a *huge* no-no legally).

Sabotaged my work and other people's.

No matter how many complaints we submitted, she was never fired. Rumor had it she was never fired because she had some serious dirt on the administration--the kind that shouldn't be leaked to the press.

This one coworker changed how I approached working. I was in the workforce for a decade when I decided to take a job with a very small, woman-owned company. It was just the owner and two employees, myself included. I worked my ass off and was very successful the first few months. And soon the other employee started to brazenly slack off, eventually calling in often (with what became the lamest excuses), weekly. Once she was out for almost a month because of a vague family issue that I'm convinced was made up. Our boss was so lenient because my coworker had been there for years. I ended up working harder and extra hours (even weekends) to keep our clients happy and the business going strong, which I so realized just enabled my coworker's sh*ttiness. I quickly burned out, got the hell out, and never let any person or business ever exploit me and take advantage of me ever again.

My former assistant manager (I quit that job). She got caught talking with her boyfriend for several hours never leaving our department desk (green hardware store prevalent in the Midwest) and got in serious trouble. Like do it again and you're demoted back to part time. Well, she forbade me from speaking to my boyfriend at all when we were working. One day, a month or so before I got the offer for my new and current job, I asked to take the recycle bin to the back where he worked and she said no. A little later, she got annoyed at me for only facing shelves and told me to find something else to do. So I took the recycle back and brought freight up. She came to the back aisle screaming her head off at me because she told me not to go back there and I defended myself saying "well, you told me to do something else, so I was doing something else!" I turned around and I guess she flipped me the bird (caught on camera) and walked away calling me a bi*ch. One of my coworkers went to HR about it as it wasn't the first time she's gone off on me and I was just ignoring it and they were fed up with her general treatment of everyone. We both got called back to write statements, and I wrote that I saw neither the finger nor heard her call me any names, but did go on about everything else. There were no punishments, however, about a week after I left, I get a text from a former coworker saying that said manager was with a customer when HR called her on the store phone. Manager answered, asked her to hold and DIDN'T PRESS THE HOLD BUTTON! Got demoted the next day back to a cashier for calling a guest stupid while HR was on the phone. Made my life he'll when we worked together, but darn was it satisfying to hear karma caught up to her.

I'll call her SJ because I don't work with her anymore, and you can't do a lot with just initials.

SJ worked for the company before, but was fired because of her former manager. She was hired back by the newer manager at the time because "everyone deserves a second chance". No, a lot of people don't. She would swipe groceries across the counter and bag them even if they didn't scan, call out almost every shift the hour before because she "can't find a babysitter", have her family come in and stock for her (which isn't allowed at all), complain about her store coupons not working and demanding we change them since "she works here", and most damning of all: THREATENED TO SUE FOR DISCRIMINATION WHEN SHE WAS WARNED ABOUT TERMINATION AFTER SHE HAD HER 10TH CALL OUT IN UNDER A MONTH! She claimed everyone there was racist because she only wanted to check out black customers because she was black and "white folks make her uncomfortable". Look, I'm not racist at all. After she was fired again, she made it her life's mission to give us even more Hell than before. Since she's "the customer now" we have to do what she says or she'll file a complaint. This didn't go on long, but she was also caught stealing when we wouldn't change prices for her. I hate her with an honest to God passion, but even more now knowing she's THE ASSISTANT MANAGER AT THE OTHER LOCATION ACROSS TOWN!

SJ, you are a terrible person. I hope you see this to know everything you do involving that job is wrong and honestly sad. You're part of the reason I quit, and you deserve nothing but the future firing coming your way.

TL;DR: SJ is a coworker I had who was a terrible person in every shape and form. Worst employee I've ever worked with, and I worked with a crackhead before her.

I used to deliver puppies to people who would adopt them from different shelters. I would drive with my troll of a co-worker from Arkansas to Maine and back every weekend. I was basically a puppy santa and I would get to meet wonderful people who have us cookies or other snacks and drinks and I would get to give them a dog and see them get so happy. That part was great. However, the woman I had to drive with was probably the most toxic person I've ever had the displeasure of knowing. She would freak out over everything, but in a very whiny "the world is going to end and you've ruined my life forever" kind of way. For instance, we would take turns driving and one time she told me to drive when we were about an hour outside of new York (I'm from a town of like 200 people and never driven anywhere near a big city) and I told her I didn't know where to go. She proceeded to say "just pay attention" and went to sleep. Of course I go the wrong way and end up on a highway leaving into new York instead of around it and she wakes up as I'm paying like $3.00 at a toll booth and freaks out saying "oh no" over and over again. I realized I went the wrong way for about 10 minutes. She said I was going to get in trouble for going the wrong way and that we can't afford to pay for extra toll booths (even though I paid with my own $3) and continued to freak out for the next hour even though we were back on track ( we only lost like 30 minutes). She even told our boss that I messed up and made us late for all our deliveries even though we weren't. She acted this way all the time. On top of all of that she would scream loudly at the dogs for barking or popping in their kennels. I call her the traveling troll. She was massively obese and never bathed. She had warts on her face and was always nasty and rude. THE co-worker from hell. I quit an amazing job bc of a troll...

The classic relative of the owner.

Started working there a few years after me and immediately given a great position. I had been doing the work for this position for the year it was vacant.

I trained him, he seemed disinterested, and for the next 3 years I did most of his job while he took credit for it. Except when there was an issue then I got thrown under the bus.

Every time I walked by his desk he was watching F1 races or soccer.

I eventually asked for a raise, outlined what I was doing which was essentially two jobs and was told there wasn't enough budget.

The next day I quit, and shortly after that they asked me to train him on all the work I did for him to which I politely declined.

I used to work part time at a shipping warehouse and at one point, we ended up hiring this sixteen year old kid.

He made a ton of mistakes that we ended up having to fix for him, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt at first just because he was new. But not only did he never learn from his f*ck-ups, but he was incredibly lazy and lacked any self-awareness. There were instances where he was given a task, but then he'd either d*ck around on his phone most of the time, hide out in the bathroom for like forty-five minutes and then hoped we wouldn't notice, or just whine to my supervisor that he didn't want to do whatever he was assigned. Because of that, he would often take half the day to do like thirty minutes of work and would then complain that he had too much work piled on top of him. It was ridiculous.

Former Supervisor - A bully, gossip, and all around horrible person that picked 1 or 2 people to be her punching bag. My introduction to her was when I was sitting at lunch and she came barreling at one of my coworkers and proceded to litteraly scream and curse in his face in the Break area. She also had a habit of gossiping in the the warehouse office in full hearing of other people which made me uncomfortable. It's one thing when a co-worked gossips to another, it's an entirely different thing when a supervisor gossips about those under them to others.

I actually cassually mentioned to a different supervisor that it made me uneasy to be in the office while this was going on and she got wind of it, she then decided to make me her target. Over the span of 6 months she bullied me and behaved in some really disrespectful ways:

- She gossiped about me: How did I find out? She started doing it in front of me.

- She gave me a very unflattering nickname: I found out when she blurted it out one time when I came into the office after being paged

- She was passive agressive towards me in all respects - Growled at me in the ladies locker room, put papers to cover her face so I couldn't "look" at her, sighed or scoffed when I tried to engage in conversation with other people (not her) Ignored me or outright walked away when I needed a supervisor override.

- She told me I needed "To step it up" with my work. I was the 2nd most productive with the the 2nd lowest fault rate of my department. To give you an Idea on a typical day 1st would do ~25 jobs, I would be at ~23, the other 5 people averaged ~15 jobs a piece.

I finally had a breakdown after she started doing it in front of other Supervisors and the Manager, this was a week after I told the manager, again, about her behavior. Nothing was being done about it. I was ready to just walk off the job and had a breakdown. Someone told the Managers boss that I was having a break down and she called me directly to find out what was going on. I was walked through an official HR report that went to the front office. She was given one last chance. I told them she wouldn't last a month. 3 weeks later she had a screaming match with another employee and was suspended and subsequently fired. I later found out she was directly responsible for 3 people quitting and one person getting fired becasue they couldn't take it anymore and threw gloves at her.

They acted like a friend in broad strokes, but over time the little things showed that it was all bullsh*t. The one incident that sticks out to me to this day is when I told her that my mum was hand-making my wife-to-be's wedding dress. Most people respond with some variation of "oh that's so cute" and it's a fun moment. This b*tch? She said "Couldn't you afford a proper one?". Not such a fun moment.

Rick the misogynistic di*k. He was my lead 4 years ago. I am a female engineer, the only one on that team. He was always checking my work and send someone out with me. I thought but was because we had never worked together before.

Then one day in a group meeting with the entire group, he said “Women don’t make good engineers because they can only make decisions based on emotions.”

Everyone’s jaws dropped and they looked at me. I was so shocked. All I could come up with was “yeah, because that is how I figured out how much to put into my 401k.”

I left the group. He invited me to his retirement party. I told him I was happy he was retiring. He thought it was a compliment.

My current “worst coworker” is a lady that always has the attitude of “you’re wrong because you don’t understand.” There are two of us ladies now but she’s annoying. Not horrible though, so that’s a big step up!

Had a manager who's opening line when I first met him was "I don't like you already." Motherf**ker had a major pickle up his arse and even threw a cabinet door at me (got me square in the back but I witnessed him get put into his place by the old lady I was helping - she gave me a good tip too- so that was nice). The worst was when I went into the bathroom and he stood outside the bathroom yelling for me. Apparently "can I finish taking a sh*t" was an inappropriate response (when I quit, my other manager let me know that he has been talked to repeatedly but he is friends with someone higher-up)

Dated a guy who broke in and sexually assaulted me after we broke up. We both worked for the same corporation but opposite ends of the city. Years later, he got moved to my office. Would just linger. Sit and stare at me. Just hover around and make his presence known. I had lodged a conflict of interest before he arrived but it got ignored. Eventually I went to our direction of ethics and tried to get it sorted but my poor little ex had a “mental breakdown” in the lobby (cried hysterically and threw himself on the floor like a god damn toddler). Work took his side because “he is clearly going through a hard time”. I was pregnant at the time with my husbands child. They only took me seriously a couple weeks later when I was in the bathroom and started bleeding everywhere and had to call an ambulance. They freaked out in case it was a stress thing. Apparently no one wants to be on the hook for stressing out a pregnant lady to the point she risks losing her kid, so they transferred me out.

She didn’t officially work at my store’s location. She was supposed to be at another location training to be a manager there, but her predecessor was still working at said location and the upper management/boss didn’t want too many people working there at once. So she had to work at my store’s location instead.

As soon as she started, she had a problem with me. I don’t know why, I’ll never understand why. I suspect my resting b*tch face had something to do with it. She essentially bullied me from the get-go and when I told my manager about it, she claimed nothing could be done since the rude lady wasn’t officially under my manager.

So one day the b*tch started bumping into me and saying “You have a problem with me? Let’s take it outside.” Etc. I was half her size, I’ve never fought in my life outside of sibling squabbles, and I have terrible social anxiety. So I went to the bathroom, called my S/O to come pick me up, grabbed my things, and walked out on my shift. I didn’t say a word to anyone and left her there alone during lunch rush.

I later learned from my friend who also worked there than my manager didn’t blame me, and officially, like on the papers, she said I left for “personal reasons”. She was a nice woman and I don’t blame her for not being able to do anything. Upper management at this chain was very irresponsible and didn’t seem to care about that store location whatsoever (checks came in late almost every week, we weren’t allowed to have more than two people working in the store at a time, didn’t always have enough budget to order food/supplies, etc)

I’m never working for that man’s chain again. I may work for the same store, but I’m not going to work if it’s one of the locations that assh*le owns.

Why didn’t they send her to her assigned store and just temporarily transfer another employee from there to your store? That way, staff numbers stay the same, bitch trains where she’s supposed to, and any problems she causes CAN be addressed by her own manager.

Worked with a guy that was a supervisor in another department. Dumb and an Assh*le (bad combo). would constantly insist that I do things that violated OSHA rules or were physically impossible. Wanted me to work on a 20 ton Bridge Crane while he was using it. obviously I said NO. Everytime I would refuse one of these ridiculous demands he would send out an email with EVERYONE CCd, from the Area manager, Plant manager all the way down to my boss. Soon after I left for a better job, he was fired, and they closed his email account as he was writing a manifesto. I heard they hired armed security to keep a look out for him for the next month.

I worked for about 8 months in an office with a woman that was just so incredibly miserable I had heart palpitations driving to work every day for 7 months and 3 weeks. She always felt overwhelmed, she always felt overlooked, she was nasty, she was lazy. I was her supervisor, and I really, really tried to be a nice as possible to her, help her with work, let everyone leave early when their work was done. It was never enough. We worked with two other men, and she would make them cry daily. Grown ass men, crying because of her, coming to me asking for help. Senior management didn’t want to know about it because she was a superstar in sales. I was at my absolute breaking point when a friend called me up and got me in at his company. It felt like a 100lb weight was lifted off my chest.

A new hire for a different team. So my wife and i work together in a bigger company but you would never know it since she has a different last name and sits very far away from me. Well the new hire sees a shirt she wore one day was for an anime he also liked. He immediately spent 2 hours at her desk asking her way too many questions about her, ignoring the fact she is married. He then proceeds to join us everyday for lunch with some other work friends and only talks to the women at the table. All of whom are happily married. This goes on for a few weeks before i caught him sleeping and snoring at his desk. I email his manager to check on him and is caught sleeping on the job and is fired. We were very lucky he was also a bad employee. One side note, i found out after he was fired he was making sexually explicit remarks to one of the shy women that reports to me. I let her know that she should never be shy about coming forth immediately about any time of harassment or other people making her uncomfortable and that i and the HR team are there to ensure a safe and friendly work environment.

He was in his 50s, had often uncontrolled diabetes, was 6'4" tall. I was 24, and a foot shorter. Normally he was a teddy bear but when his blood sugar got low he would get violent. He tried throwing punches at me for suggesting he get a coke from the vending machine in the hall (good thing he's slow and clumsy in that state). When we were in the truck together once, and it started making a weird sound, I wanted to take it into the shop and he insisted we didn't need to by yelling at me and pounding his fists on the dash, but we were going to a remote area and I didn't want to have to try and find help if the truck broke down and the radio didn't work. I had to call search and rescue on him once because he didn't come back to the truck after doing a transect (biology job). You guessed it, he had low blood sugar and was not able to find his way back to the truck. He had no education or experience in biology, but he just couldn't be fired from his job driving a plow. With his propensity to let himself get hypoglycemic, he couldn't drive either. So they shuffled him to the wildlife department because he had an interest in wildlife. I was basically his babysitter.

oh i got one for you guys

So i worked in sh*tty gas station. I had a coworker we'll call "Jenny". Jenny was on "light duty" as ordered by her dr when i first started working there. Her injury was a heel spur and she never missed an opportunity to complain about it. She wasnt supposed to lift more than like 30 pounds or stand for more then a half hour at a time. Not a big deal right?

First time i came in to relieve her from a shift was a busy friday afternoon. She had two full pages of her coloring book colored in and thought it would be cute to write that on our task list for the day under "additional tasks completed"...alright, annoying but shes youngish. What do you really expect from a 20 something year old with a medical issue?

Over time her antics became more and more ridiculous. A stray dog wandered over to the station and she brought it inside. Let it wander around the inside of the store where theres plenty of food on the shelves for it to get into. She then proceeded to make a facebook post about it and also wrote those things on the task list as if it were part of her job....

The thing that really drove home for me how useless this girl was was when the assistant manager finally told her she couldnt bring her coloring books to work anymore. She'd been off light duty for months but continued sitting at the desk coloring during all her shifts while neglecting all her cleaning duties. She cried and walked out mid shift when she was told and then filed a complaint with corporate claiming she was being bullied by the assistant manager.....

This was a person that was in the aircraft qualification training squadron at the same time as me. He wasn't an intentionally terrible person, but his lack of self awareness made any interaction around him difficult and exhausting.

He washed out of another flying career field. In the first sims (before the flying phase) he refused to use established procedures, resulting in degraded ability to provide required data to external players. Managed to fail his first instructional ride, despite it being nearly impossible to fail if you show up.

He could not figure out how to take leave, despite several people walking him through the process. Rather than trying to solve any problem, he would announce it to the rest of the room, and if no one jumped in to help him, asked the nearest person.

He manage to frustrate and time-jack the kindest instructor I know because he didn't have a basic understanding of a training airspace. In a bid to get back to more pressing (and more likely to be completed) tasks, he gave me an apologetic look as he suggested that Lt PUBspotter was a smart student, and could probably help him get up to speed.

This woman who hated me and always had to be better than me. It was awful. First time I have ever cried at work.

One day, I caught her in a bold-faced lie.

I had taken a day off.

She said when I returned that the boss had asked questions about where I had been on my day off.

My boss knew exactly where I had been (I knew because I had told her), so I knew this was a lie and she was just being nosy.

Called her out, she had no response but tears about how I was mean to her (?), it was very satisfying to see her caught in a lie by the boss after years of lying to and manipulating her coworkers.

It's a close tie.

1st was the store manager who was supposed to be training me to get my own store but somehow decided I was a threat and proceeded to try and screw me over and and actively put a hamper on my training.

2nd was a dude who actively sandbagged his sales numbers in all categories except for one (to the detriment of his commission checks) so he could get praise in the district.

There was this one guy who had terrible breath, and he never shut up. Would seriously come over to your desk and talk nonstop about bullsh*t for what seemed like forever. The whole time you're sitting there smelling his terrible breath, and of course on top of that he's never doing any actual work. Luckily he was eventually fired, but my company was one of those companies that took forever to fire someone

I use to work as a trainer at a very toxic cleaning company. I trained a girl who was very open about not wanting any sort of help during her training period but was more than willing to let me observe while having a conversation.

The minute her night ended, she would contact my supervisor and complain that I would just stand there and talk while she worked and how I was never doing my job. She got me written up quite often but ended up leaving the company after a month to move back to get home town.

The one who tried to out do me in literally everything because my manager gave me an “employee of the month” as a way to boost morale. The coworker didn’t care about quality of work or service, they wanted to do everything I could and do it better for recognition. She would do the most basic stuff and ask “where’s my award? When am I getting employee of the month?”

On a contract job, I had to share a small cube with one of the most grattingly rude and obnoxious assh*les I have ever met.

Even worse, she insisted on sitting on a huge yoga ball in there and rocking back and forth on it, so she was constantly bumping into my chair. She also constantly smacked her lips while eating, and she was always eating. I'm pretty sure the yoga ball and annoying eating habits were to try to force me quit so she could have the entire cube to herself. But at the time the economy was terrible, so there were no other jobs available.

Eventually I went to my manager to beg him to move me. And by then he had heard all about her terrible habits and sh*tty attitude from other people. So he moved me as a kindness.

I don't think she stayed there too much longer anyway, as by then she had pissed off most of the people she came into contact with.

My current tool buddy at work is more tool than buddy. She's by far the worst person I've ever worked with at any job or on any project.

She complains nonstop about everyone and everything. If someone doesn't move out of her way immediately, they're an asshole. If someone is waiting for her to move out of the way, they're still the asshole.

We've been running conduit on this jobsite for about 7 months now. She refuses to use a level when bending or do any calculations because "when you've been in this business as long as I have, you can do it all by eye." Except her pipes are always wrong. And when they're a little bit off, rather than just adjusting what we've already made, she insists on one of us just smashing away at it until it fits and looks like a piece of sh*t.

I got stuck working with her because literally everyone else on our site refused to after about 3 days of being around her, and they all have seniority.

The hospital ceo's "executive assistant ". Typical call to the help desk "Finally! Really 7 rings? Why is the mouse freezing? When will it be fixed?" Or, "Finally! When is the printer going to start printing? Come asap. " As low man on the it totem pole I had to handle all of her nonsense.

i (F) was a busser / runner at a restaurant when i was a senior in high school. it was a brand new restaurant, so all the staff was new together. there was a server there who was like somewhere in the 26-28 age range (F) & she had been waitressing since she was 17 -18 in a few different places so she was pretty good& well liked by many customers. she could handle a lot of tables & would make great tips, but she HATED sharing them. bussers were to be tipped 3% of the dept sales at the end of the night. she argued that was soo much & TOO much. she argued that she is older & needs the money more than we would because she had a car payment & rent. she made them bring it down to 1.5%. a few months go by, i notice my tips are always lower with her even when she isn’t working in the smaller section. & by the way, she would switch shifts & take off when it would be her turn for her to work the smaller section of the restaurant, so she always had the bigger section. she knew how to finesse it so she always made the most money, & not in a fair way. so i begin to feel she is shorting me because at times i would over hear her saying things like, “she missed that plate, that’s going to cost her.” or she would ask me to make her a dessert then get angry when i’d miss a plate or she would have to run another tables appetizers out because i’m busy making the DESERT SHE SHOULD BE MAKING? i eventually called her out on it & she hated my guts after that. oh well, boo hoo.

They told me bare minimum of any task the workstation required, poor communication, disinterested in literally everything, treated details as something obvious I should have somehow known, etc etc. The most awkward workday ever.

Sounds like my experience when I worked at the Home Shopping Network. Took almost a month to get a phone on my desk and had to have someone log in for me for three weeks since IT couldn't be bothered to have me setup with my own login and password before my first day.

A coworker I still hate to this day. Back in 2012 I used to work in an insurance office. This chick was extremely rude to junior colleagues, made a fuss anytime things were not going her way and made sure my life was hell when handing over work tasks. Anytime you would try to confront her she would go and cry to our manager. Oh yeah, she also had a secret chat with some of " the chosen" colleagues where she would make fun of other people's looks and generally start office gossip. I'm extremely happy I quit and I hope I never see her again.

Husband and wife team got hired on and both of them were utterly awful. Manager made the job description crystal clear including the fact they'd start part time and advancement to full time was done on seniority. They made everyone's life a living hell for several weeks until one got a job delivering furniture and the other went to go pump gas at a gas station. I was shocked they left so quickly but everyone was beyond overjoyed to see them go.
