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!

He sounds like the best coworker ever. You sound lame.

It might sound funny on paper...not in person! I lost so many employees due to him.

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."

Work with a guy who is great at what he does but is from the Pittsburg area. Little things set him off, he'll kick the copier, his desk, walls, file cabinets when something doesn't go his way. When he's in the middle of counting (yes counting) and you place a file on his desk he will forcefully slide it off his desk so that it hits the wall. The contents fly everywhere into a pile all jumbled up. He belittles everyone because we live in the south. Assumes that he is much smarter and hates where his life has taken him. He's a peon at the company, but as far as work ethics go, he's one of the best in the country. So, he hasn't been fired.
Everyone else is pretty fricking awesome. 50 coworkers and we're all like family.. cept the yank.

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.

Our office opened at 445 each day and a different person opened each day. I walked in at 6 and she was sleeping. Cost us thousands.
Other time I get a resume in the mail from the guy down the hall in staffing. I ask him if he;s leaving us and he says its his cousins resume and they share it. I say you are 2 different people with different experiences. He says no big deal. I kicked his arse out.

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