I have been very lucky in that I have had to deal with only a few people whom I found truly annoying. One fellow I had to work with (nominally for) for a couple of years. I reacted badly to his chain smoking, his need to hear himself talk and his slow grasp of ideas. However I had to appreciate his dogged determination. If he got a task he would keep at it until it was completed or until everything flew all to pieces around him. Our boss asked me one day how I liked working with the guy. I responded, "Burt, I don't mind not being in charge, as long as I'm in control. "
Another one who irritates the heck out of me is the father on my granddaughter. The less said there, the better. His father was an abusive alcoholic. His mother is a real sweetheart. I guess he is just trying to make his way with the least effort possible.
