To ask who is the rudest/most obnoxious person you've ever met?

[Magicra84]

And why?

Vanessa Feltz
Lenny Henry
James Corden
Ronan Keating

All during PR campaigns, so I met them in a professional capacity. All egomaniacs and incredibly rude.

In the spirit of fairness people can change and I've heard James Corden is quite nice now from someone who has worked with him in the last 6 months.

A man I was once PA to. I was sent by an agency to cover maternity leave. He was diabolical. He turned up demanding to know why I had not made his coffee and why I'd not typed up the work he had left out the night before.

I'd arrived 5 minutes earlier, been told to wait at my desk until someone came to explain the role to me and it quickly transpired that the typing was anyway in his LOCKED office!! He yelled at me because the coffee was too strong, yelled at me because I used the wrong font for his typing ( apparently he only accepted Ariel 12 and I'd had the audacity to use times new Roman) yelled at me because the next coffee was too weak and then sacked me at noon!!!

When I called the agency they said " not again you're the third one this week." It was Wednesday!

In a field three or four really strong contenders, the winner by a good length is one of my SILs. Absolute selfish bitch. Snide remarks behind my back but in my earshot. Always knows more than you even if you have 20 years experience in something and she has 2. She's also repulsively horrible to her sister, who is a lovely woman.

I won't even pick up the phone if I think she's on the other end. The prospect of seeing her makes me feel actually nauseous. I've already told her to fuck off once over the years, and I daresay I will again one day.

Luckily DH can't stand her either. We only see her at big family events.

I once did some temping at a local council and was placed as the executive assistant to the director of children’s services who was a major bitch. I hope she falls down a flight of stairs or something. She had to have temp EAs as nobody else would work for her. When I left (after 3 weeks) I deleted her outlook calendar and emails. Oops.

An ex friend of my dh. He is an arrogant, narcissistic, coke snorting, fat bully who womanises his way through life with little care for the upset and pain he has caused to others. Just hearing his name gives me the rage.

Sadly it has to be my mother - who is a poster girl for the Stately Homes Thread. Angry, aggressive, entitled and treats her family like they are her property. When I was growing up she treated me like her enemy who had to be slapped down all the time (I was actually completely uninterested in her) and she always did her best to create drama and sabotage any special events in my life. She also has colossal double standards in that she is breathtakingly rude and hurtful towards other people but expects everyone else to tiptoe around her delicate sensibilities. A truly toxic person who I avoid as much as possible!

Me, I'm a bastard, me I am.

@listsandbudgets
Was that a solicitor in Dublin by any chance. It sounds very familiar. My friend went on maternity leave and her boss went through around 20 secretaries in 6 months.

@Hingeandbracket 🤣

I have many on my list

An ex boss who is a pathological liar - she used to be on here, not sure if she is any more. I’m certain she is/has traits of a sociopath

The mother of a workmate who did her best to lose me my job because she didn’t like a decision I made at work. (It didn’t work, I’m still there and they have moved away). She also did many other vile things to people I know, including having an affair with her best mate’s husband. Disgusting human being.

A smarmy idiot I don’t work for, but tries to get me to do his job for him - he even contacted me a number of times when I was in hospital recently after emergency surgery. He’d already been told by me to contact my manager.

A woman thrown out of a youth group I volunteer for - her husband walked out in protest. She was horrible to the children and walked around the church as if she owned the place. They thought by him also leaving, the youth group would collapse and we’d beg them to come back. The group is still going and I’m still there. That was 10 years ago and I heard recently that she is still slagging us all off.

Didn’t realise I had so many!

The MIL of one of my closest friends. A textboot narcissist, between her and her son they have effectively isolated and destroyed her. If you are reading this J I love you.

Oh dear numerous solicitors on this thread 😁

An ex friend of my dh. He is an arrogant, narcissistic, coke snorting, fat bully who womanises his way through life with little care for the upset and pain he has caused to others. Just hearing his name gives me the rage.
Is his name Boris?

Why are you asking?

Oh, I forgot my last boss. "She put me on a performance improvement plan" after six months of being my boss even though I'd been there 4.5 years without issues. I took the hint and negotiated a pay-off to leave.
Recently I had a chat to colleague who left shortly after me - she was shafted by the same boss, and after that her replacement only lasted a few months before having a total breakdown and leaving the industry.

My old boss is still there, the company keeps getting "great place to work" awards and trumpeting how wonderful they are. Bollocks.

I appear to collect people like this as I’ve encountered many over the years.

I recently left a job because of one. Sneaky, underhand, spiteful obnoxious and Completely all round nasty.

Friend, in fact my only friend in high school. I now realise that she is narcissistic when I put Behaviours and her “ways” together It makes absolute sense.
Probably the most self centred, manipulative, individual I have ever met.

I worked at a US sammercamp in Pennsylvania. Those kids were awful, so spoilt. Sneered at me when I told them I had no more money. Never said please. Would grab at the food. I got a job the next year at another camp in Malibu and those kids were much nicer, and came from much wealthier families.

Solicitor who did the conveyancing on my first home. Sneered how he "destroyed" his neighbour over a border dispute and advised us never make friends with neighbours. He's now doing life in prison for murdering his secretary.

BIL who we're NC with. Obnoxious, imperious, rude, racist bigot of the highest magnitude. How he has managed to attract 4 (lovely) wives is beyond us as he's a serial shagger and a cunt. Maybe it's his money as he looks like a randy hippo with bad teeth and bitten nails. Cant think of a single redeeming feature.
Sadly his DC have inherited some of his charming personal qualities which makes family get togethers much smaller and more festive affairs without their attendence

My in laws. Rude, selfish, abraisive, opinionated, constantly over step boundaries. MIL acts like a frenemy, FIL rubbishes and undermines everything we own, want or plan to do because he's an expert in everything. They think they're better than everyone else because they had money in the 80s and 90s (but have since lost it!). They live in the past, bragging about how much money they had and revel in stories of their rude (sometimes racist) behaviour towards others and time when they were demanding and had people bend over backwards for them (because they had money.). Truly revolting people.

@Bergamot2017 Your mother soundsike mine. I'm so sorry you had to endure all that. It's a truly horrible upbringing isn't it.

I went complete no contact at age 17 and never spoke to the woman again.

Someone I went to uni with who had strange beliefs, think conspiracies, illuminati etc and thought we were all thickos because we didn’t share these beliefs. He was also a chauvinist pig.

My old boss. A vile, disgusting woman who did everything she possibly could to undermine me. It all reached a head and we got each other fired in a tit-for-tat sacking war, but it cost her much more than it did me. Bwahahahahahahaha

FIL He is lazy, greedy, racist, misogynistic, egotistical, a criminal, a con-artist, drives without a driving license or insurance (usually drunk) a football hooligan, an abusive woman beater who thinks the world owes him and he is just plain evil. I could list more but I would be here for days if I included everything! Just a horrible horrible man!
So happy that we are NC with him!

Piers Morgan

My SIL.

There's so many stories of her over the years but my favourite recently is that she's "upper class" (she's definitely not) and they are financially struggling in the current situation. She didn't take my suggestion of "Get yourself down to the shops and apply for a job!" Very well. In fact she's still not speaking to me 😂. If my family were struggling and I could get any job just to bring money in I would have. As it is, I'm a keyworker and my dh is an essential services worker. She needs to sort herself out!
