"The One who's never to blame" - and shouts in a loud voice "who did this??" and goes to great lengths to prove it was me/some other normal/honest person who usually will have the balls to own up to their own mistakes...

I work with another lovely boss who is ruled by "the budget". I teach IT but have no working printers. (4 months now). She tells me that the printers need specific parts and is trying to get lots of different departments to pay for the parts because "its only fair". Every week I ask what is happening, oh well blah blah blah. We do have two new printers in the corner but we would need to buy ink and we dont have "the budget". I have tried to tell her new printers come with ink. I could scream.

I was pulled up by a boss who said I did not send my mail in on time, I think you will find that was the day my mother died. Yes but did you send it in, "no", well in that case you are not sending your mail in on time are you. Followed by a phone call the day after the funeral, by the way when are you going to catch up with the work you missed yesterday. I was still in shock.

*The Flapper* and the *tutter and huffer*

huffing about anything that is not in the right place or phone ringing whilst they are possibly also flapping about email to be sent or just general work to be done.

The winter warmers-a very familiar breed sadly.

This one specific to early years settings where the children have to have the freedom to go outside as part of the EYFS.

These never have appropriate winter clothing, moan about going outside, when outside huddle gloomily in a corner, with their mugs of coffee and don't interact with the children, and are generally a depressing PITA.

Agree with lowlevel The whinger

contantly complains and I also dont like the work place back stabber

(I have come across a few of them)

I've got 2 ATM. The one with one ear-piece whose "music" I can hear across the desk; and the one who eats all day long. No kidding. Starting at 8.30 with a pasty/ sausage roll/ cupcake, moving through chocolate and crisps; onto 2 tupperware containers full of salad and fruit; back to chocolate. All accompanied by slap-slap-slap

Can I vote for the one with the bright idea that they didn't quite think through. For example, the idiot who thought that a password reset system on the intranet was a good idea, forgetting that if you have forgotten your password, you can't get onto the intranet. And then to add insult to injury, the jerk who decided to put this on the automated phone system, so everytime you ring for a password re-set, you get asked if you have referred to the intranet...

The totally naive computer Nerd straight from Uni who thinks that computers are the only form of life in the world, is convinced that everything she says is the only possible solution to everything and generally gets it wrong. Is also so superior that she can't see that her solutions are so weak because she is too inexperienced to be aware of anything else than her own ideas.

Also nicknamed "Inverted Eight" because her head is the only thing in the world larger than her backside.

The Snack Police. "oooh, what are you eating?" and "oooh, having a bad day?" if I have chocolate. No, I'm just hungry and having a snack.
