Everywhere has one or two of them, you'd think they'd get along but they're worse when they are operating against one another, everybody in the middle are assumed to be taking sides and then the pass agg starts to build. Such gears in the working machine have a negative impact. Worse than the jobsworths. And there's another common type, the waste of space. Feckless Keith, I felt a bit sorry for him, cos he couldn't read or write properly (was a forklift driver and yard hand) and the office regularly took the pish. Tbf he acted like he was hilarious, so I suppose in his way he was. Bless.

Seems like single sex workplaces aren't a good idea in general.
It wasn't until my third project as a manager that I was in a mixed environment. Men in construction are typically a bit grim, but if you sprinkle a few women over the top they all simmer down a bit. It fascinates me all of this.
The worst thing you can do in either an all male or all female environment, is put someone good looking in there.
Even the sensible ones lose their heads.
When I was about 30 me and a mate decided to do an evening course at a local college, we both chose 0 level Sociology. We were the only adults there the others were students who had failed there original exam, The Tutor would give us separate cases to study and one was behaviour difference of the sexes. As "non participants observationists". The best one we did was visiting a male and a female strip nights. The difference in behaviour was shocking. Some of the women should still be serving time in prison
I went out with a male nurse who I met while visiting my Grandad in the long term geriatric ward at Rainhill. He was quite camp but 100% straight. Like a jack rabbit he was! Much fun was had by all. Probably over sharing here but anyway....have a great day.

Honestly, work would be amazing if we didn't have to deal with other people.

Anyone even remotely half decent looking in an office appears attractive in the dull environment.When I was about 30 me and a mate decided to do an evening course at a local college, we both chose 0 level Sociology.

It was similar with the sales/aftercare girls in my old place. Some of them were very attractive, but a lot of the other site staff looked like they’d been dragged out of the Thames. They behaved like flies on muck around them. It was absolutely embarrassing to watch their jaws drop, furiously scanning them with their flickering beady eyes.
Works both ways too,
A girl who works with my missus very nearly lost her job, over her infatuation / stalking of a fella in work.

I dont have these enemies in my current job but I had an enemy once in a former job. Nasty smarmy type, former nuclear sub guy who still did weekend soldiers. perfect hair, bit of a young Alec Baldwin in that movie.
Anyway - the hatred was mutual. One day he walks into my office, shuts the door walks over to my desk and puts both fists knuckles down and says " you have no [Poor language removed] clue what you are doing - do you!"
I didn't answer, just said "get the [Poor language removed] out of my office" in my best scouse accent. He turned and walked.
Years later he was the CEO of a company and called me to ask for a favour as I was working for the government regulator. I pretended to be cordial on the phone and then promptly did nothing with his request. He called a few times as it clearly was material to their finances , but oh well....

I was in an internal meeting not too long ago with the only topic being how to encourage our client, a very high-ranking government official, to stop using “Miles of Smiles” in all of his emails.

Ah hahaha. Yes I get this. That is very creepy. I would be well into this meeting. I have got a few ideas already. You could say it was triggering a colleague as they had a cat called Smiles that was recently run over and dragged all the way up the freeway.I was in an internal meeting not too long ago with the only topic being how to encourage our client, a very high-ranking government official, to stop using “Miles of Smiles” in all of his emails.
