Bastard ColleaguesYou've all known one. The brown-nosing fucker, the 'comedian', the drunk, the gossip and of course the weird one with no mates who goes bell ringing, looks like Mr Majika and sports a monk's haircut (and is a woman).
Tell us about yours...
Thanks to Deskbound for the idea

Not a smelly colleague, but a stinker all the same...I worked with the female version of David Brent, albeit more attractive and less mentally stable.
The management babble flowed from her in a steady stream, and she would eagerly embrace each and every new concept handed down from our superiors.
Her height of shallowness* came after she'd spent a day singing the praises of the company's new boss - an ex-British Airways bigwig who was going to be 'so different' to previous overlords.
The next week, she's sitting in the writers room of our department, crying her heart out because this 'so different' bigwig had slept through her presentation on how good she was and she was going to have to do it again.
This gullibility extended further - almost every urban myth anyone mentioned was true, according to her. Point out they were false, and she'd take this as a personal affront and reel off a list of people who had confirmed to her that it was true, so therefore it must be true.
I could go on, but it's a sad tale. She had a Gareth-type acolyte, too, but she was less attractive than the version in 'The Office' and there just isn't room on this thread to detail her failings.
* I know, terribly mixed metaphor.
