    The worst contractor you have ever worked with or heard about

    Reading a thread on this page its struck me that we haven't had a discussion about the worst contractor you've worked with over the years and why they were so bad..

    Can fit them in to categories.

    1) Claims they are god's gift at everything while turning-in utter tulip.
    2) Lose temper with other team-members in the office.
    3) BO and strange social skills.
    4) Brown-noses the client project manager while bitching about other team members.

        I generally find contractors ok. They work hard, have a reputation to maintain etc.

        The only problem I've had is with project managers. Vacuous hand wringing wastes of space. On the last gig one was perm one was a contractor. The contractor was a nightmare. Everyone thought he was a stain, but strangely no one had the balls to do anything about it.

          Good breakdown.

          I find disgusting eating habits overrule any other potential bad points. FFS, why do people sound like fecking ducks when they chomp down on their processed chow. Keep yer fecking traps shut. I don't want to hear you masticate nor do I want a stop motion horror film of your enzymes slowing breaking down your cheesy whotsits into their chemical compositions of slime, Agent Orange and toilet duck..

          GRRRRRR!

              Nah he is much less subtle!

              Although I think it is aimed at another contractor at ClinetCo

                    Nope read the title and think PC both as initials and as an acronym.
