I was going to lunch with some coworkers one day a year or so ago. One of the guys on my team is a heavy-set 40-year old gay guy with a massive superiority complex. Anyway, he asked me some question about the Porsche (I still had it at the time). I started to answer his question, but he cut me off before I could finish:

"NO ONE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR CAR CHRIS!!! WHY DON'T YOU JUST SHUT THE F*** UP ABOUT IT ALREADY!!!"

"You're the one that asked me about it."

That didn't slow him down. Never mind that I have to put up with 5-10 minutes of baby talk with his partner 2-4 times a day. Never mind that when he comes in he picks someone out to tell a long, boring, pointless story about some family member of his every morning.

A few months before this, I had to invite him to a meeting as my backup. It was a precarious situation and it had taken me months to build the other team's trust and get them on my side of an issue. I was almost over the hump and almost had their agreement. He started screaming at the other team's lead. He sent months of careful work on my part down the toilet in 30 seconds. I quit inviting him to meetings after that, but the damage was done.

This guy has stabbed me in the back every opportunity he's had. He's made up stuff about me and complained to my (our) manager about it. He's an incessant brown-noser. He's also not very good at his job.

I still haven't forgotten and I'm waiting for the opportune moment to get back. I will forgive one or two transgressions, but not a deliberate pattern of malice.
