What kind of people do you have difficulties working with?

In my last three jobs I have worked with men and women from diverse backgrounds and cultures. The only time I had difficulty was with people who were dishonest about there work issues. I worked with one woman who was taking credit for work that her team accomplished. I had an opportunity to talk with her one day and explained how she was affecting the morale. She became very upset that others saw her that way, and said she was unaware of her behavior or the reactions of others. Her behavior changed after our talk. What I learned from that experience is that sometime what we perceive about others is not always the case if we check it out.

With age I've lost patience with people who talk like they know it all yet don't deliver. I had a lot of this on my last actual job and sure enough, when layoff were announced, there were the folks stressing out the most. I don't care for chattiness (is that a word, smile)either. Almost for the same reason listed above but I hate stupid gossip (meaning not really juicy or doesn't pertain to my job) and wild speculation. Laziness is also a pet peeve on the job. The upside is that these people are the first to get fired or laid off.
