Work Enemies...Who is the person at work that drives you crazy?

I work with a guy from south America that thinks I want to steal his work from him. I got enough on my plate. Twice I offered a hand when he was overwhelmed. 2nd time he blew a gasket I told him he's being a fig and walked away. My boss asked last week if I would give him a hand as he was struggling. Told him no thabks. Not worth it

I wouldn’t say this guys a work enemy, but he is incredibly needy. Twice a week he wants to go to lunch and knows that I don’t feel like going. I usually go with him just to keep balance in the office because we work with lots of women and I need him on my side. But we have nothing in common other than politics (thank god) and I hate spending the money to eat out. I’ve told him no before only to have him come back 10 minutes later and ask again. It’s exhausting

There’s one guy I work with, who won’t take help from nobody. He thinks he knows how to do everything, but really he sucks at his job.

The know it all types are the worst. Used to work with a guy that was that way at everything. Could discuss anything even not work related, like something your cat or dog did, and this dude was suddenly an expert and knows everything about that breed.
Most of the crap that he said was completely wrong/bullshite. Dude said some cringe shite in front of customers/clients. How he ever got to be a boss of anything is amazing. He retired, fortunately for everyone.

Now you know how your wife feels when you beg for sec.

Tell me about it.
I’m a safety inspector at a nuclear power plant. They hired this new guy, Frank Grimes, a few weeks ago. He seems to have it out for me. He’s educated, very organized and goes by the book, so my more casual approach to work seems to irritate him to no end. I tried to be friendly. I started jokingly calling him “Grimey” just as a playful nickname, but that didn’t go over well. He’s told me to my face that he doesn’t like me. I don’t know what to do. I was thinking about inviting him over to my house, spend some time with him outside a work setting so he can maybe see me as a person. Maybe a nice lobster dinner if I can get the kids to behave. Shouldn’t be too hard. My son recently bought a factory, so he’s busy with that. And my daughter is well-mannered and very smart, so she’ll be no trouble. Hopefully I can pull this off and win him over.

He’s probably just jealous that you got to tour with the Smashing Pumpkins.

Who will start the "I am always trying to help a coworker because he does a shite job but he thinks I am just stepping in to do his job" thread?

Bro I thought you liked our lunches. I won't bother you anymore.

His real name is Homer Simpson. Watch out for him, I hear he was fired from another plant.

If I was doing such a bad job, I would think my boss, or her boss (the CEO) would have mentioned it by now instead of continuing to give me new responsibility. This twerp isn't trying to be helpful out of the goodness of his heart or because he's some subject matter expert. It's because his job description is shaky at best and he has the likeability of sandpaper underwear. He's searching everywhere for something to make him more relevant.
