I've had a guy on my team the past 5 years whom I despise.

He likes to scream at people when he doesn't get his way. He expects other people to drop everything for his minor issues but your pressing needs he "will get to when he has time". He's loud. He spends lots of time telling inane stories or talking 30 decibels higher than he should on the phone--including the cutesy baby talk with his partner.

But he's a consumate brown noser and my manager and team lead love him. Fortunately the team lead is leaving and I have a trump card with my manager: he once screamed at one of her favorite employees for 20 minutes straight in a meeting before he worked for her(completely destroying any goodwill I'd built up with the other team in an instant). She was probably told the story but didn't know who he was at the time.
