Being a tattle tale in your mid 40s is really quite something. Especially when you tell on someone that is one of your ONLY friends left at work. I even bought you a little something when you were gonna be away for a while. Boy, was I a sucker. Everyone is fed up with your childish, spiteful behavior. We can see right through you. Always trying to chum up to someone, only to turn around and stab them in the back. If you hate everyone here so much why don’t you just quit? Its sad that your life sucks so bad that you have to make everyone around you miserable and shitty just like you. Fuck you are an asshole.

You have indentified the Workplace Drama Queen, that person who has no life at home and must create little dramas around themselves in order to feel ‘alive’ and/or ‘vital’, like some pathetic character from Cornation Street. These bloodsuckers can drain and poison their environments but, inevitably, they will get devoured or retire. My sympathies. Be pleasant but don’t do one on one anything if you can help it.
We have one of those at my office, a 29 year old guy who’s so far up his own ass he cant see that the entire office despises him. I’ve heard him report to the directors when someone is late, I’ve heard him whine to them when someone was being difficult (a woman who had the guts to stand up to him and express her disagreement with something he said). I’ve seen him lecture (in front of a director) my sweet, friendly collegue on how her friendly, casual phone etiquette; how it is unprofessional and makes her look like a sucker, as if it was his business. It’s just the tip of the iceburg, but this is the same knob who poops up the girl’s washroom (and leaves his mess), screams his yawns, his sighs, and makes a loud, grunting ejaculatory noise every time he shifts position in his chair. He is an attention-seeking creep who never shuts up, and I’d love to trip him the next time he gets out of his chair to go make a shit..
¿ I wonder why people have to be such Douche-Bags ? To me this is a sign of retardation. In a better world, not even a perfect one, a group of colleagues should/could get together and approach the boss-person/manager, whatever, and have the Douche-Bag fired. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to get rid of a Douche-Bag like this. I am adding this type of person to my list of people to ban.
Don’t bring Coronation Street into this…your’e lookin’ for trouble…
