I had the opposite, I was in a double and the other Presiding Officer was a lazy arse who did next to nothing, took an hour for lunch, an hour for dinner, kept disappearing off for ages. Left one of her poll clerks on her own, I actually had to step in and say she needs to get her other poll clerk back before disappearing. Any issues she passed over to me. When they had a queue she didn't step in to help, she sat on her phone and just avoided looking up. At the end of the night she was putting chairs away instead of doing her paperwork.
My own poll clerks all complained to me at different stages during the day. They said it was unfair that we kept having to deal with stuff because she didn't or couldn't.
I have a good relationship with my polling station inspector too, he's been doing it for as long as I have in that polling station, he always comes round for his 3rd visit to check everything is okay and we know what we're doing at close, he said to me with a smile "you're an expert at this now, so I don't need to check but it's always good" he found the form I couldn't find earlier in the day and forgot to look for again so a second pair of eyes also helps. He walked off with a smile, got to her and his face was like thunder.
I'm experienced, been doing it for years, know the staff and other Presiding Officers (and have a reputation to keep, as a relative used to work in the elections office so I have to be good at it). She didn't even talk to me all day, I would have helped her if she asked but I guess she thought she didn't need it. I have the same poll clerks as they ask to work with me so it's not like I'm that bad to work with either.
