Worst colleague you've ever worked with?

Some of the stories popping up in the leaving work early thread have got me thinking about this, and thought we could share stories here to give me something to read

Worst person I've worked with was a guy in a bar who thought it was ok to serve underagers half pints because it wasn't a full pint.

Or the person who told me on one of his first shifts that he had a major come down. I was his supervisor at the time.

Or the person who arrived for a shift steaming, dropped and smashed 4 glasses in a row and had to be taken home. (Lived nearby so didn't take too long, but still)

Any stories to share?

I worked with the woman who nicked millions from her various bosses at goldman sachs. she was a royal pain in the arse (although a dab hand at bank transfers).

I worked in mc donalds. on my first shift the man next to me said "I've only been here a day and i'm already on quarterpounders" (that story is 28 years old) (and I was merely on chips. oh the failure)

a girl I used to work with wore skirts the size of a stamp, tops the size of a raisin, spent all day bending over and then wondered why no-one took her seriously

lots of people I have worked with tell me what "crazy" senses of humour they have. and I never even punched them. restrained.

There was an older man managing a lab I worked in. He gradually got a bit creepy and I thought he 'just' had a weird crush on me. It turns out he had genuinely invented the fact that we were in love and would be together if it wasn't for his wife....and I later found out he told all my colleagues this too.

He used to corner me in the cold store and demand to know 'why I was doing this to him' and tell me to stop fucking him around etc. Used to blame this other girl for the fact we couldn't be together because she tried to help me once, then marched into an operation to blame her for me leaving when I handed my notice in.

My male supervisor knew and did nothing. The was in the same lab where another man hit a women and all the men present denied seeing anything.

The woman boss who hated children and told me at my leaving lunch (was going on mat leave) that King Herod had the right idea.

I work in a university. Some of the academics could give entitled toddlers a run for their money.
