Some coworkers are just God sent. You make best friends, you fall in love, you meet your idols, you find your team players to climb up that long career ladder with. They make your lunch breaks less lonely, meetings funnier and deadlines… well, the deadlines are the same no matter what.

But sometimes your coworkers are just the opposite. They make doing your job harder than it already is, and everything in between way less enjoyable. If you are dealing with a coworker like that, let me tell you, you are not the only one. There are millions of people out there handling the most annoying, irrational, or even plain evil colleagues because… well, because it's what you’re supposed to do, right?

So if you're too tired to deal with this on your own, this post compiled by Bored Panda is a safe place to vent and talk about hard things. Pull your seat closer and scroll through the stories about coworkers from hell by sharing your own experiences in the comments below!

And when you're done, more stories about difficult coworkers await in our previous features here and here.

Bored Panda spoke with Christine Mitterbauer, a licensed and ICF-approved career coach and serial entrepreneur who shared some great insights on dealing with difficult coworkers. So pull your seat closer.

Mitterbauer said that “it’s important that you stand your ground and don’t let yourself be intimidated by difficult coworkers, whether they’re negative, talking down to you, or making your work difficult in any other way.”

“Of course, you can try to interact as little as possible with the coworker, but that isn’t always possible,” the career coach added. Moreover, a great skill to practice is becoming better at having difficult conversations, she said.

My Coworker Lied To My Boss That I Could Cover His Shift

My Coworker Lied To My Boss That I Could Cover His Shift

apollogamez60 Report

When dealing with difficult coworkers, always focus on the behavior you would like to address and which is bothering you, and never go down the road of stating negative traits or characteristics about that person, Mitterbauer argues.

“Stick to negative behavior as that’s more objective and can more easily be verified by everyone involved. Practice exactly what you want to say beforehand, and consider getting other allies on board as well. Sometimes it is necessary to involve management, but it’s often better to only do this once you can demonstrate to the manager what you yourself have attempted to tackle the issue,” she explained.

Most people have had coworkers they don’t get along with, Mitterbauer continues, but she says there’s a difference between not being great friends and them making your working life miserable. “When their behavior starts affecting your work and/or you are thinking about this issue in your free time, possibly dreading going to work the next day, that’s when it becomes an issue.”

I'd make a big deal about how I didn't know they were a drug addict, they hid it well and well done on them for being so open about it - when they correct me I'd just be like, and you're ok with people knowing that? I'd stick to the drug story

"My body, my choice!" Shouted the antivaxxer, proudly wearing his red MAGA hat, coughing open-mouthed. Then a week later yelled at women entering Planned Parenthood. Two weeks later, there was silence, no more words spoken from that mouth. As there should be at a funeral.

Same. All the companies in my area require you to be vaxxed. I wouldn't work somewhere that didn't require it. Thankfully I live in somewhere that is inhabited by intelligent, rational people who actually care about others. You won't be able to find a job around here if you're not vaxxed. And no one throws temper tantrums or stages protests about it either. That's how it works to be a decent member of society. Some of you here are obviously just selfish children.

Well, I look at it this way. We are all part of a society, whether we like it or not, and that comes with responsibilities. One of them, during a global pandemic, is to take as many precautions as possible to bring the crisis to an end with as little loss of life as possible. Now, just in the US alone, over half a million people have died, many lost significant income because they couldn't make it to work, and the supply chain is still f****d up because of it. If people had pulled together, instead of being blatantly selfish and ignorant, I truly believe we would be in a much better position, and many of those people would still be alive.

How do you know he's a conspiracy theorist by this? His body his choice right? Just because he chose not to get a vaccine, assuming that's what he's even talking about, doesn't mean anything else. Just means that it's his choice to do what he wants with his body. You know, kinda like how everyone is protesting the new proposed abortion law here in Virginia because women want the right to choose... Hmmm

I went to my my doctor's office and noticed that my favorite nurses wasn't there. I asked about her, and was told that she left. This was before the vaccines, BUT I just found out that she did in fact leave. Permanently. Leaving a husband and 2 young daughters, a best friend, and patients who loved her. This was a mental health clinic, and the person who killed her, yes, KILLED her lied about being sick. I am still angry and devastated. Her best friend was trying to console me....She was27.

Have a customer i did some tree removal for. He was a pharmacist who quit after they forced this vaccine on people. This is not some idiot that isn't aware of pharmaceuticals. He said it's crazy to believe the same companies that were in trouble for the opioid epidemic. Said that the vax might be okay for older people and that's because they won't be around for the long term effects.

You know a vaccine is supposed to be a disarmed virus, if you look up the ingredients online only the Johnson &Johnson had a disarmed virus. The other two just had m rna proteins. So by definition only one can be called a vaccine. The other two are just injections. Useful injections, but they still lack the core ingredient of a vaccine, the disarmed virus.

Said family member card covid even the vaccinated and died his wife was on oxygen I don't know if she had the vaccine or not but she's perfectly fine so the vaccine treats everyone differently and we need to quit acting like twaffles just because we disagree on something. being rude to people regardless of the reason is wrong and hurtful.

I didn't get the vax. But quite simply because I've been exposed 9 times, I've got 14 negative tests, but my antibody test is positive. Per the doc, I'm immune. The vax could ruin that delicate balance and potentially unalive me. I advocate for anyone and everyone to get it, unless they also have the antibodies without a positive test.

Not inject lab-created chemicals in one's healthy immune system to suppress its abolity to be sel-healing. No one seems to have learned the true lessons of Covid: Maintain one's health and weight in order to fight illness, by eating healthy and exercising (too many Covid deaths and other poor outcomes were due to comorbidity, not from being unvaccinated; wash one's hands often; do not touch one's face, especially with said unwashed hands; cough/sneeze into the crook of one's elbow, if a tissue is unavailable; wash one's hands after coughing or sneezing; use a quality hand sanitizer (not one produced with harmful chemicals, preservatives & colors), if hand washing is not an option; and, stay home when one's contagious. Seriously, don't eat a ho-ho while smoking and holding both with hands that were never washed after using the bathroom, while telling me that I should die for not placing a lab-created concoction, containing heavy metals & developed from aborted fetal cells, into my body.

So you have a choice of what not to have in your body when it's a baby, but when it's a choice to not have chemicals put in your body, which by the way nobody knows what's in them, it's not a a choice and if it is it's a dumb one... See the hypocrisy, you can still get covid with the vaccine, therefore your still able to spread it, it's doesn't take away the ability to get and spread it, it just lessens the symptoms, therefore if someone doesn't want to take it, the only thing there doing is maybe having bad symptoms when they get it, the vaccine doesn't protect everyone from you, it just protects you..

Emmy, I personally know at least two people who have died of Covid. They denied the vaccine because of the fear mongering and misinformation. They died. They will never see their children again, never travel, never laugh with family during holidays. Dead. And the vaccine could have saved them. And there are hundreds of thousands of stories just like this. Would they have gotten Covid with the vaccine? Maybe, yeah. But they'd still be alive.

This is quite common when stocking. A customer comes in and asks for an item that is out of stock on the shelf. Who is going to unload the whole pallet? You grab the item to please the customer. Problem solved.

The point of breaking down boxes is to punch the s&&& out of them and get your aggression out. Its truly liberating. Folks who just toss boxes into the trash whole are missing out.
