How many of your co-workers can you match up with mine?
I have worked in several different places and have run across the same types of characters in each place. Here is a list that I have compiled of the different personalities that I have encountered so far. If you have any that I have left out feel free to throw it in.
Know it all old guy – This is usually an old dude that has always been there and done that and can tell you a better way of doing things. He has experienced way more things than you and never wastes an opportunity to tell you about it.
I don’t know lady – This is the lady that no matter if she has been working at the job for 90 years she still never knows how to do anything. Every time there is a new process that is implemented she never gets it. At least she pretends not to know or get it so that someone else can do it instead of her.
D-Bag – This is the one dude that thinks he is the bad ass. He always talks about the cool new club he was at last night and the chicks he picked up. He has either a spikey or long hairstyle and drives an acura, civic, or if he is older some sort of Mitsubishi.
Peter Pan – If it is a woman she still wears little clips in her hair and talks in a high pitch little girl voice. She dresses in childish sweaters with puppies or other animal pictures on them and has purple all over her area. If it is a guy he always talks to the younger guys about chicks and wants to go shoot pool or play darts with them. Most of the time he is cool because he will buy a couple of rounds. In my case here he drives a corvette but this could be substituted with any mid life crisis car, more often than not it’s a Mazda Miata for some reason.
Fugly – This dog face chick thinks she is so hot. I guess it stems from knowing how ugly she is so she throws the tang out there to anyone catching. She never hesitates put pictures everywhere of the guys she met at the club last night. For the most part they are butter faces but sometimes that are ugly fat chicks that wear Mimi make up.
The complainer – This person will complain about every little thing that happens. It could be something small and insignificant but they will find a reason to hate it.
Example 1: A current coworker was having problems with her keyboard and instead of taking it to our tech guy and getting another one she decides that it would be better to bang on it and sit there complaining about it for an hour thus not getting any work done.
Example 2: Another coworker was asked by their manager what they were working on. She got upset and I had to hear for about an hour and a half how she has been here years and knows her damn job. Keep in mind that the person asking was a manager and needs to know where we are at in our work in case we need help.
The Chismosa (gossiper) – If it has happened in the office then she knows about it, hell if she thinks it might be interesting she will make it up. She has a ton of things that people could say about her but she still has to know every little thing about everyone.
Example: A lady in our office was gone for some time to have a medical procedure done and in the time she was gone the word around the office was that she was getting a boob job. Since I knew who was spreading the rumor I didn’t get my hopes up. Needless to say when she did come back she still had her itty bitties and was PISSED.
