Describe your worst coworker...of all time!

Mine had to be a guy named Myles. We worked together in security management, while I was attending LSU, yet after the USMC. I was 25-27, and he was my boss, during the mid-2000s.
He called himself A.J., but neither his first nor last name began with an A or a J! I asked him to explain. He said, "I always wanted to be an A.J.!"
He had a wet jerry-curl (Is that the correct way to spell it?) The guy would go to a local beauty parlor to get his hair done. He would show up to work with those awful smelling products in his hair weekly! He would have the tips frosted orange.
He had a nasily voice that would rise and fall as he got excited, which happened often, especially when he would tell stories about how Angola inmates tried to rape him multiple times when he was a prison guard in the mid-1990s.
He drove a small station wagon to work. It was light green with brown pin stripes. He would arrive everyday with his speakers blasting disco style music.
He sold every gimmick under the sun! Weight loss pills, all purpose vitamins, timeshares, vacation packages through a third-party system...quite annoying!
He claimed he was a minister, yet he was always flirting with 18-20 year olds at work. He was 45.
What an odd-character!
Your turn!

I worked with a guy that went off his meds and tried to hit me with a metal folding chair. He was fat as frick and also fell through the floor on a couple of occasions. More than once, he called into work because he claimed to have shite his pants on the way into work. He had a nervous breakdown after a few years.

Large Office of 300 people(private,no public access)
chick(30's) wore short dresses and skirts all the time(HR sent her home twice because of this), other women in the office didn't like her.
Every other month we had to undergo "sexual harassment trainiing"....because she would go to HR with anything that "made her feel uncomfortable"
last complaint she had with another co-worker, before I left, went like this....
"so what did you do this weekend?"
"went to the lake on my boat"
"oh you have a boat?"
"yeah, me and my buddies go every other weekend during the summer, if you ever want to come with, just let me know"
"Uh....that's not appropriate"
My team was all guys with a female manager, so we all had to go.."and take this seriously"....because as part of HR whenever there's a complaint, they have to show that they took measures so that she can't file negligent/hostile work environment.
We couldn't talk about it with her, and they couldn't fire her even though they were tired of her shite because then she could sue as she would be the victim who got fired because she wouldn't accept sexual harassment.
....a year later, I go to Tigerdroppings and she's posting provocative photos of herself(she doesn't post here anymore)

Seriously, I have not met another mYles in my life that is Caucasian. Upon joining something ( I don't remember what it was) i was automatically signed up for "Black Entrepreneur" magazine. I called and asked why and they said "i guess you signed up for XYZ and Myles was flagged as a black mans name. we'll get you off the list."

Probably an Indian guy. He worked by me. He didn't particularly smell bad like the stereotype but I think he watched a lot of Magnum PI growing up. Always had a mustache.
He would constantly wear these puff shirts with it half buttoned. Had massive amounts of chest hair and would constantly wear gold chains.
He eventually just decided not to show up anymore for work. No notice. Very odd.

Sound EXACTLY like a guy I used to work with except he went by D.J.
Maybe his alter-ego?

i worked at a state ran ISP for schools for my first job out of college. boss was great, secretary was great, lazy pot smoking other guy i worked with was great. but then there was Robert.
Robert was a douchebag of the highest order. For starters....
Graduated HS early.
Graduated from college in 3 years with a 4.0.
Got his masters by 23.
Had a ridiculous number of certifications.
He also had no social skills, insulted everybody, was condescending to customers, kissed my boss' narcissistic butt, and thought he knew everything.
It was like working with Sheldon in real life without the canned laughter or jokes.
i don't wish evil upon people but when his wife left him for another woman and took all his money and won the dogs in the divorce settlement, i struggled to feel any sympathy for him.

Too many to name.
One guy used to alternate between Band competition videos and porn. That's all he watched. Whats worse is that every conversation we had ended with him making excuses as to why his daughter was hooked on meth.

I hate to say this, but it was a obese guy with autism. He had such atrocious social skills, that he was impossbile to work with. He would burp to the loudest of his ability; audible from several offices away. He would pass gas right in front of you (loudly) as though it were nothing.
Heaven forbid, we invite him to eat with us. His eating habits were nauseating.
He was madly in love with a girl that worked in a different office on the same floor. She and I were friends, and if he saw her in my office, he'd just come in and stay until she left.
He was a drafter, and would never show any new drafters the ropes. He made things as difficult as he could for them.
I have way too many stories to share, but they are all horrible (and sometimes hilarious). Like him loudly farting in a corporate meeting while the program manager was giving an update to corporate bigshots that were visiting.
He had originally worked for the company that held the contract, and the company I worked for brought him on when we bought out his old company.
Oh, and his constant fight to get a chair that he would fit in went on for 2 years. We must have ordered 10 oversized chairs for him.
When the contract ended, my company laid all of us off. Not sure where he ended up.

If you're in the military very long, you'll see just about every kind.
We had a kid on base in SA that came in to work every day smelling like a damn pair of gym socks. He sat like 2 cubes down from me. He was our computer tech guy. Just freakin' smelled bad all the time. Time to do a PT test, and guess who gets paired with him? This guy. I'm holding his feet for the sit-up portion of the test he does like 10 sit-ups, then he rips arse in my face. Can't do anymore because he is laughing so much. No apology... Failed the test... Aaron Hernandez would have shot that dude in the face... Our uniform of the day back in 05 or 06 was our blues. Dude would wear the same damn uniform everyday, no showers. His blue shirt was yellow. We had a day where all of the NCOs in my unit shadowed a 1st Sgt. on base. We go to do an unannounced dorm inspection and this dude's room was BEYOND disgusting... Piss and jizz in 2 liter bottles all over the place. He had picked his nose and wiped it on the wall. I couldn't believe it.
He ended up getting kicked out shortly after that. It was a miracle he made it out of BMT in the first place.
