Different day, different tester, diffrent questions, different answers.
It was the 90s but we were surprised the psychs didn't communicate with each other or that getting barred once doesn't carry over to other testing in the same year. They're all civilian staff working for defence anyway.

For all the "psychological" testing they do at recruitment, the military still let a few ground balls roll between their legs to the boundary. Maybe it's improved since my day?
We had one guy on our intake who was basically a street kid. No idea how he snuck through. Didn't finish basic training.
Worked with another dude who used to maintain a kill list. So what you say? Maintained, as in kept it in his top pocket and made regular edits. You'd piss him off - he'd whip out his list with a flourish and move you up. I still remember the SNCO's manning meeting when he was posted into our unit. I think he got shuffled into and out of every section during that meeting. Dunno what happened to him.
Worked with another dude who left to become a professional wrestler. He was a special guy.
Worked with a chick who would regularly root the SNCOICs for preferential treatment/duties.
And then there were the functional alcoholics. So so many functional alcoholics

I've met a few clowns over the years that I worked as a courier, but one guy in 2017 actually made me get of the truck and vomit.
I was teaching him my delivery run, but after a few years, you get the feel of people you're training and you develop a sense for whether they're up to the job.
We'd left a delivery, discussing something unimportant when he blew his nose.
Into his bare hands.
He then proceeded to wipe his hands down the front of his brand new company issued shirt.
I pulled over, jumped out and spewed until I had nothing left to give.
Get back in the truck to be greeted with "you alright bro ?"
Needless to say, my sixth sense proved correct. He lasted a week, among numerous customer complaints about his hygiene.

1. Arrogant POS that tilts his head up and has this (I'm better than everyone else voice) whenever he talks. Always talks about himself, achievements, Puts anyone down over the radio who calls in for help. Claims to be the best worker, better than everyone else. He was trash talking another worker so I let them know and then he denied everything and blamed everything on me. I've always worked hard, and as a team, but this ******* would run around accusing me of being lazy. He is incredibly toxic and despite my best efforts to bring the crew together, he'd always bring them down. In all my years working, this guy is unquestionably #1. I really didn't have much respect for him when early in the piece he was telling me about some of the things he did in his personal life which were highly questionable. I tried to get along with him but he wasn't workable. I just ignore this ******* from now. I'm also glad I'm not on his shift anymore.
2. a few people that run around trying to intimidate you, expect you to leave them a perfect change over. I had one guy pull this s**t on me and I blasted him. I later found out that he was trying to manipulate me into doing all the work so he could sit back and do * all on his shift. The moment I stopped giving a s**t about looking after other people like this, my mental health improved significantly.

I had one like that on the previous shift. We had to send crude product up to the refinery at a certain specific gravity, and it had to be tested every 20 minutes as the refinery guys had to adjust parameters to suit. It was very hard to maintain the sg as the stuff coming in was totally variable in quality and thickness and it always went up and down no matter how good you were.
There was a competition for the most spot-on feeds and I'd done 13 in a row, 4 hours out of a 12-hour shift. Handed over to a shift operator who I won't identify but the campaigner's name was Bernie who then recorded 34 in a row (yeah right). I took over his "perfect" shift and the *er had fiddled with every single valve and tap and it took about 6 hours to get consistent product sent upstairs. At the end of the shift the sg was still well out but was coming right.
Bernie came in for the following day shift and my shift leader and I bailed him up and told him to never * with the machinery again.
He went to management and showed them his "perfect" sheet and my following all-over-the-*******-place sheet, and complained that I'd handed it over in a sorry state and how was he supposed to do his job with campaigners like me on board.
It was five days later when I was on day shift again, and got called in for a chat at the office and had the sheets waved in my face. I was soooo lucky my shift leader backed me up. And of course Bernie's shift got a nice lunch for "winning" the comp.
I'd forgotten about that fat * until your post reminded me...

i used to work with a woman, who was the biggest pain in the arse, she got moved to my store because its a little quieter than the one she was at, she didn't hadn't stress that well, she would just walk out and drive off then come back, she would talk way too much especially to customers telling then way too much personal s**t
she would make constant mistakes after she had been told the correct way off doing things, then one day i had to tell her 3 times in about 10 minutes, not to do it that way, do it the way i showed you, but kept doing the wrong way, then on the same day, she kept on moving jobs around for the techs, cancelling jobs, then the owner rang me and told me to tell her, if she was to move service jobs to either speak to me or him before doing it, so i told her this is what she was to do going forward, she then grabbed her phone and walked outside, came back in after a couple minutes, took of her company shirt and said have a nice Christmas and walked out, i rang the owner and said i think so and so has just quit, she sent me a 1 line email saying she was resigning later that day
i rang the other store and let them know and they was quite happy she had quit, she wasn't well liked, one of the owners spoke to her about a week later and she said to the owner, that she never listened to anyone and just did what she wanted

Was going to say I know exactly who it was, but the car bit ruled my guess out.
People who constantly talk themselves up and put other colleagues down are usually severely lacking in self confidence. I work in sales and have had many of these colleagues over the years. I certainly try not to fight fire with fire but can be hard at times, particularly if having a slow month/quarter and the campaigner points it out to management. Management of course know what the figures are, still shits you though.
Agree on the difficulty dealing with these people. The worst part about it is they try to bring everyone else down to their level. This person is an A grade Kiss Ass too.
Again if you've got a good manager they'll recognise that sort of behaviour and treat them accordingly.
One of my former bosses threatened to punch myself and another employee for taking a morning tea break, which we rarely did but were obviously entitled to do. When the company I left his place for was taken over and everyone retrenched he pleaded with me to come back. Fortunately for me I was retrenched but rehired the same day with a promotion (but also got the retrenchment payout ). He went on to commit a murder suicide a few years later.

He was both. I can't find much info about it on the net (there's a couple of articles) but his name was Jeff Gardiner.
