Secret work enemies

I may have resorted to similar in the past. 🤷‍♂️
This was my particular favourite though.
When I worked for the NHS I had a raging hatred of one particularly arrogant 'manager' who was boastful of some 'research' that he had done on a certain subject.
A couple of months after his 'research' I noted that there was to be a Seminar about a very similar subject being arranged at a Hotel in London.
I set up an email address in the name of one of the organisers and contacted him to say that I was aware of his work and would be grateful of his attendance.
After corrosponding via several emails and building a rapport with the snivelling pratt, I invited him to do a short presentation on his research findings. I promised him that travel and other out of pocket expences would be paid.
He duly turned up at this event only to be greeted by people who had never heard of him and had no idea what the 'F' he was doing there.
Makes note to always like and agree with Kev’s posts
 
Recently had a new guy started at my work. Seems innocuous enough but has started casually dropping in little brags about other business interests etc. pretty certain he’s a compulsive liar (which would be ace) Also has this habit of talking through what he’s doing when he’s working on his computer like he’s talking to himself but everyone in the office needs to know.

Decided he shall be my work enemy as this has been a vacant position for some time now. No one at work knows this yet and I’m very polite with him but I come home with great gusto to tell the Mrs all the annoying things he’s done throughout the day. Is great. I hate him.

Everyone must have or had work enemies. Past or present examples please.
Hows about some not so secret enemies? Any blow ups in the working world?
 
One of my previous jobs company had various departments. On our floor was two departments. The other one were very precious about their office space, if you went in there they'd ask if you were lost etc. It never got old!

Each department got a local paper delivered everyday. Boss of that other one would come through, take our paper, go and use the facilities then return the paper to our office.

The guy was an utter mutant and judging by the particles he gifted us on the paper probably had some real issues with his guts.

He's a liar and a lazy blagger trying to justify his salary. He'll be gone in a few months.
 
When I was an Apprentice one of the engineers grassed me and another apprentice for sitting around and being lazy.

He became our enemy. He was allergic to Oranges so used to leave orange peel all around his desk , and parts of the shop floor he worked on. Soak his plastic chair in orange juice.

We also urinated into his kettle, which he did drink. Worse thing was he made a cup for one of the wiremen we liked. How he never noticed the smell I don't know.

You dirty horrible get.
 

Lass I work with writes Regards, at the end of her emails, which is fine, I do that too.

Problem is her automated signature also says it.

Regards,

Regards,

Name

Drives me mad lol
I find it rude if people CBA writing Best or Kind before they write Regards. I'd rather they just sign it off with their name and nothing else
