'R'.
Quite possibly the most annoying workmate I ever had was called 'R'. He was in the God Squad (which I don't mind, being a spiritual person myself, but this guy would get deeply offended if you said 'Christ' in his presence).

But that wasn't the worst of it. Oh no. He was amazingly heavy-footed. He would shake tables by walking around on the other side of the office. And he never did any work. He'd been working as a programmer for 5 years, and he COULD NOT program. At all.

One thing he was good at, however, was banging his fist on desks, and shouting very loudly at people for no discernible reason.

He also used to bounce around making tweeting noises, and to boot he was the most sarcastic bastard I've ever met.

Length? About 2 lines of code in all the time he was here.

Hmmm...
I have a colleague* who's an evangelist. He once sent an e mail round the team asking that we refrain from using 'Christ' as a swear word as he found it deeply offensive.

OK, fine. Except he's a bit of a hypocrite as I've often heard him mutter 'God' if something even remotely pisses him off.

We mainly ignore him.

* He's actually OK really, I just find the constant reminders that I'm probably going to hell a bit wearing
