Who's the most obnoxious person you've ever come across?

[IToldYouIWantedTheUnicorn]

Mine was probably a girl I house shared with whilst at Uni. She was totally full of herself and seemed to think that she was god's gift to the world.

She thought that she was extremely good looking, although was very average looking. All she talked about all the time was how gorgeous she was, and about how men would look at her and how many men fancied her. We'd suggest a place to go out to and she'd always say something like 'I can't possibly go there, I get so much attention from men in there'. And we'd be walking along the street and she'd be telling me (and probably telling herself!) that men would be looking at her, even though they didn't appear to be looking at her.

She would also make comments all the time that would big her up but put the person she was talking to down at the same time. A friend of another of our housemates had some boots similar to obnoxious girl's boots and obnoxious girl said 'your boots are similar to mine. Obviously not as expensive as mine though'. She would also tell me regularly that she thought I wasn't very pretty but I had a nice personality so not to worry about it.

Her other thing would be to sit there whilst we were all having a conversation and then suddenly say an unrelated statement about herself such as 'have you noticed how blue my eyes are?' or 'my legs are looking so good today aren't they?'

She actually was like the woman in Friends played by Jennifer Coolidge that Monica and Phoebe didn't like!

Who's the most obnoxious person you've met?

Unfortunately, another patient in my hospital ward last year. I was there for three nights, and couldn't wait to get away from her.

A surgeon who thought he was God's gift. Bastard.
I was a student nurse doing my theatre rotation and very nearly packed my job in because of him.
However,
I went on to have a very happy and successful life and career.
He didn't as he had a massive stroke 2 weeks after I left the rotation.
I don't mind talking about it now as it was in 1973 .

OP have you started this thread so you can show it to your university housemate, with whom you obviously don't get along?

Bit mean, no?

Grow up.

@PoulePouletteEternellement why do you think OP has done that?

Just checking in to see if I'm on here

@PoulePouletteEternellement why the fuck would I show a thread to the person I'm bitching about on the thread?

Bit weird if you to even think someone would do that.

Grow up!

Out of interest, why would you think someone would do this?

Seems an odd thing to think of.

Surely if the OP wanted to make the person aware they were being a dick, they’d just speak directly to them.

Not start a thread and then show it to them.

Am I missing something...?

Your OP reads as if it concerns a very current, rather than past, disagreement ...

I kind of agree with Poule. Surely her peers would have let her know how obnoxious she was and she either toned it down or ended up friendless?

Ok I'll bite. I'm from Scotland and I was living abroad. At a party I met a fellow Scot, tall, dark and handsome. If only he hadn't opened his mouth.

He slagged my name and occupation yet seemed to fancy me and only wanted to speak to me. He was a lecturer in philosophy. Well a gay friend of mine arrived and before this guy even knew he was my friend he said nasty homophobic things about him.

From there he moved on to slagging all the English people there (even though the English host was meant to be his friend!). When I pulled him up he said that I was Scottish too and needed to put my own people first! Just vile. Never met anyone like that again since.

I escaped to the kitchen and when I returned to the main party he was in a corner by himself reading a book

A work colleague years ago. So pompous with a really haughty attitude, boasting loudly about her loads of friends and flashy home (that we never saw) constantly. Her favourite line was 'I don't keep friends, they keep me'. As we were apparently desperate to be her friend (erm No).

& an ex who was a real street angel/house devil, took me way too long to realise it. Charming, loads of friends - on FB. Not in real life. He had a harem of women sighing over his morning positive aspirations quotes - Which he copied from a book and passed off as his own.

He kept losing jobs as 'the women were bitchy towards him' but I suspect it was because he literally cannot be told anything by a woman, it grinds his gears. I lost a friend to cancer and was really in a bad place one day, tearful. I happened to glance into the mirror and saw that he was smirking. He generally took pleasure in misfortunes that befell me, and even his siblings and children.

He had to go. All his exes were crazy and violent🙄 and any wrongs in relationships were never ever his fault apparently 😴so I guess I got that title out there too.

A female manager I had, she always had favourites who were generally the members of the team who were as bitchy as she was, between them they picked on anyone who they saw as being weaker, anyone who was struggling. One of the bitches lost a baby she was expecting & manager told her to take off as much time as she needed, I had a miscarriage a month later & rang in sick 24 hours later only to be told that I needed to be in work the day after, that it wasn't an excuse to be off sick. When I finally got pregnant with ds, she totally ignored me, never said she was pleased or anything, I had a bleed at 16 weeks & was signed off for a week, when I returned she accused me of faking the bleed because my husband had days off when it happened. In my return to work meeting she said I was obviously not up to the job & had I thought of resigning? I kept my head down & carried on working even though I never slept on a Sunday night for dreading going to work on a Monday morning. A month before I was due to go on maternity leave, my husband became very ill, we didn't know what was wrong at the time, they were testing for brain tumours, MND & several other diseases, my GP knowing how pregnant I was signed me off sick, when I rang in sick my manager accused me of lying about my husband, I told my GP who hit the roof & wrote her a stinking letter confirming my husband's illness & telling her that she was out of order, I never heard another word from her, she made it obvious by not organising a group collection for me starting maternity leave like she should have done. I never worked for her again, I requested a move when I was due to return to work.

I went for a meal with my ex boyfriend and some members of his family, it was a nice country pub/ restaurant. His uncle was actually clicking his fingers at the waitress and waving his empty bottle of wine at her because he wanted more the rest of us were going to the bar for more drinks which was about 6 feet away. I met him another time at my ex's cousins wedding, we ended up on the same table, and there was wine on the table. He kept saying 'oh this is pudding wine, why would they serve us pudding wine at the beginning of the meal' whilst proceeding to drink it lol

I used to work with someone who was the nastiest piece of work I have ever met. She was studying part time to become a counseller, which I was shocked by as she was so nasty, fake and condescending and full of herself.

I mentioned her on another thread a couple of years ago, and two different people recognised who I meant and sent private messages to confirm. All the information I gave was 1, she works in a niche area of counselling, 2, she used to make snide, condescending remarks about vegans, yet became vegan herself a few years later, and 3, she has a stupid haircut that she thinks is edgy but actually looks terrible. That was enough information for two people to recognise her as she's that pretentious.

I sat near someone at work who would leave me gobsmacked several times a week with the bs she spouted.
Apparently she is so beautiful that the lady her husband works with burst into tears when shown her photo as she knew she could never be as beautiful and wonderful as her. She 100% believed this to be true and talked about it frequently, along with many other ridiculous 'facts' about how wonderful and attractive she was.
She was actually quite plain up close, she looked ok from a distance but distracted from her face by wearing very tight clothing.

One of my brother’s friends. He constantly mass jokes, which were often disparaging and misogynistic. God knows how he managed to find a wife.

An ex ‘friend’ no one was as clever as she! (We argued over a pub quiz question as a stay at home mum such as me couldn’t possibly know the correct answer) nobody could be As beautiful as she! And how kind as she. We were all so lucky to have her in our lives. We nicknamed her Mimi. As it was all about her. The world revolved around her. She was devoutly religious but when you stood back and observed as I did. She did absolutely diddlysquat. Just a lot of self patting on her back and major delegating. I’ve met quite a number of similar people but she wins the prize hands down.

Oh god don't get me started on her, she was hideous.

I'll be affected by her until my dying days. Evil, horrible womsn.

Male boss of mine who signed his emails and text with ( his name) then OBE at the end.
If you sent him an email or text , he would expect you to insert the OBE after his name lest we forget that he had received an OBE from the Queen.
He was such a prick

A woman in the care professions who had such a boatload of psychological issues which she took out on others, including those in her care, that she could probably have done with a care plan herself

She eventually went before she was pushed but I genuinely hope I never see her again.

The professional who duped me into thinking we had a great friendly relationship even though I was occasionally with her - not heeding the warnings that she was a fake cost me dearly and I'm STILL bitter about it.

A woman I was at Uni with, no one was as prettier, cleverer etc. Once I got a higher mark in her for an essay and she complained to the Course Director about it

A teacher I worked with. Acted like a giggling schoolgirl to anyone with a penis and was downright awful to those who didn't. She was rude, undermining and so full of her own self importance I could hardly believe that people like her existed.

I decided to apply for another job in a different school and she heard me talking about it to a colleague in the staff room - she told me the next day that she was going to apply for the same job (fine, it happens) and that perhaps I should rethink my application as she was much more suited to the job She said that she didn't like to think of me being embarrassed when she was given the job over me.

It was so tempting to gloat when I was given the job - she absolutely couldn't believe it - but I didn't.

'have you noticed how blue my eyes are?' or 'my legs are looking so good today aren't they?'

This rang a bell with me. I used to know someone who acted exactly as you describe and in particular, was always going on about her blue eyes. Was your uni flatmate Scottish with first initial L?

You sound utterly vile. “One is the bitches lost a baby” like you think they deserved that! Let’s hope no one speak about your miscarriage like that.

My neighbour knew I was trying to lose weight and kept making snide comments saying I'd never do it etc. Said neighbour then tried to put me off trying for a baby. Turns out she didn't want me losing weight or having a baby as in her own words "the attention won't be on me"
