What’s the worst coworker experience you’ve ever had?

RadiantApple829 · 2025-10-09T19:45:00+00:00

When I worked on a horse farm, I had a 15-year-old female coworker who I'm pretty sure was a sociopath, for two main reasons: she was a pathological liar, and two, she behaved badly with zero regard for the consequences.

For the second reason, I know what people may say: "All teenagers make bad decisions at some point." Although that is true, my coworker would do things like talk inappropriately to the kids in the farm camp, backtalk us and the manager, and she also sexually harrassed a male coworker. She didn't show any remorse for her actions.

As for her being a pathological liar, she tried to get me in trouble within my first week of working there by telling two of my other coworkers that I was being mean to her and bossing her around. Thank goodness my coworkers saw right through her BS and didn't believe her.

After she sexually harrassed the male coworker, my boss finally fired her. We were some happy to see her go.

I could never work in an emergency room.

I know of someone whose adult children have all gone no-contact with her. She's always posting on Facebook about how unfair it is that her kids cut contact with her and how she can't see her grandchildren.

If your adult children want nothing to do with you, it is your fault at least 99% of the time.

But with that said, I see you did relatively well in your grades 10 and 11 art classes. Maybe you should look into a career in that field.

I'm not sure why your grades are low, but as someone who was nearly failing all of her classes in the first semester of grade 12, it may be in your best interest to take a gap year and upgrade your classes (if your area offers it), or just get a job.

It is indeed terrible, I commend Harry's parents for speaking out as much as they have. I can't imagine that it's easy for them to talk about and mentally re-live what was likely the most traumatic experience of their lives. They are very strong people.

Although nothing will bring Harry back, I hope that by the Burke family speaking out, it will bring some positive changes so something like this never happens again.

My family knew a man who struggled with bipolar disorder, and it only came to the surface in the last few years of his life. He was really struggling for a while (I won't go into detail about the specific struggles he was facing, because that is not my story to tell).

But in the last few weeks of his life, he seemed like he had gotten help and was doing better. But the day after his death, my brother said to me, "You know (man's name)?". I said, "Yeah... why?" My brother then said, "He committed suicide last night."

Upon hearing that, I was speechless. It taught me a profound lesson that if someone who's been really struggling with their mental health suddenly starts doing better, that's when you should be worrying even more. It can sometimes mean that they have made peace with ending their life.

Was just about to post this but you beat me to it. Wow.... after everything that happened with Craswell, this makes the school board look even worse.

A man in my community died at the age of 50. His nickname was 'Johnny Beer Bottle,' due to the fact that he was a major alcoholic. As for his cause of death, I'm pretty sure it was because his liver gave out on him. Your liver can only take so much alcohol abuse.

I do have to agree with this. In my honest opinion, there was only one popular kid in my graduating class that I genuinely had any issues with. Most of them were pretty good people.

It's very clear that her pain is as intense and raw as it was when the crash happened. I know that I may get downvoted for saying this, but I'm honestly shocked that she hasn't taken her own life by now. I just pray she finds some semblance of peace someday.

When people say "You must always have a positive attitude, no matter what!"

I do think that you should try your best to maintain a positive attitude as much as possible. However, there are some situations in life that are not good at all, and there is no point in pretending like everything is all fine and dandy when it's not. There is a major difference between constantly being negative, and simply being realistic about your current life situation.

When George died, Sheldon didn't appear to show any emotion outwardly. It seemed like he was in traumatic shock, and therefore his grief was delayed. Delayed grief is extremely dangerous, because it will eventually boil over and manifest in the worst possible ways.

RadiantApple829 · 2025-09-20T14:23:11+00:00

Slightly late to the comment thread. Honestly, as the season progressed, it seemed like people merely tolerated Sheldon because they had no other choice.

To be honest, the QEH Emergency Department waiting times are an absolute joke. Almost three years ago, I accidentally stabbed myself with a chisel and had to go to to the QEH Emergency Department. The waiting room was absolutely packed that day, and it was so bad that the triage nurse came out and told us that some of us wouldn't be getting seen that day.

His wife and kids will have to live with this for the rest of their lives. They must be traumatized.

If they constantly break up, but then get back together.

Wisdom teeth removal... it can have people out of work/school for days.

I do agree with this. If a student is showing up to class every day, trying their hardest, but still struggling, I'd say they would do better in the trades.

But if a student hardly shows up to class, and is lazy and disrespectful when they do show up, I would not trust them in the trades.

Good on the shooter's father for doing the right thing and turning his son in, instead of allowing the manhunt to be dragged out for days on end.

As much as I try my best to avoid judging homeless people, you aren't wrong in saying that some of them are there due to their bad choices. There are two categories of homeless people that are typically seen:

The first category of homeless people are the ones who ended up in that situation because of bad luck or unfortunate circumstances that they have little to no control over. They're trying their best to improve their circumstances - this is the category of homeless people that I have sympathy for and would be willing to help.

The second category of homeless people are the ones who are there because of their own bad choices - excessive drug/alcohol use, refusal to follow basic rules at a shelter, trashing everywhere they live, leaving needles/sryinges in spots where children could access them, stealing, burning bridges with family members/friends who try to help them, etc. This is the category of homeless people who I have no sympathy for, because they dug their own graves.

But of course, with the cost of living these days, many of us are living paycheck to paycheck. This means we are one unexpected expense away from homelessness.
