Yep, I am going negative for a moment.....
What personal characteristics do you find completely intolerable in someone?
I have a perfactly Despicable boss at the moment...I will chime in with some of his most valuable personality traits soon... :p

Most excellent thread!
I'll have to think on this one as well. I have a feeling our bosses are related.

people who wring every last bit of fun out of things
people who dish it out and whine like a little bitch when they are forced to take it

People with voices like Fran Drescher's in "The Nanny"....OK, OK, I'm sorry if YOU're voice is just like Fran Dreschers. :D
Now for something I find truly intolerable (this still doesn't mean I can EVER watch Fran Drescher on TV again, though):
People who say one thing to your face and another to your back.

power hungry at all costs... willing to stab anyone in the back and throw anyone under the boss so long as it gains power (power can also equal ego here).
argumentative, I enjoy a good debate, but someone who will argue everything including the color of the sky and grass.
can't admit when wrong... as a matter of fact they are NEVER wrong, just misunderstood.
spend all their time providing every excuse under the sun to support their inability to be productive when they could be doing something productive.

Welllllll...sometimes the grass is green and sometimes its brown and sometimes the sky is blue and sometimes its gray. :D
Spending more time pointing out the faults of specific people. I'm not talking about an occasional vent, I'm talking every conversation revolving about how so and so raises their kids so horribly and this person is so lazy and that person is so irresponsible... :rolleyes2

OMG!!! Were you in my meeting today???? :spin:
People who ask people for favors they could do just as easily themselves....just so they know they're important
People who make bold assertions in private and then backpedal in public, when their support is required
People who fire others (good employees who have wives/husbands and children and commitments) just to preserve their own standard of living

I can tolerate alot of shit, but I can't tolerate being lied to. Lie to me once and good luck regaining my trust.

I feel the same way!I have often said that I'd rather have someone say"Fuck-
You" to my face ,than talk about me behind my back!At least you know where
you stand with them.To me that is the biggest form of cowardness! Irish :kissass:

good description of the guitarist/singer in my little rock n roll band...his day job is elementary school music teacher, & he brings that mentality to our rehersals...there's a handful of songs I used to like, but never want to play again cuz the SOB has sucked the fun right out of 'em...

Bigots and racists!
Lazy, selfish people who think you aren't wise to their supposed "diplomacy" when they try and push their hated work off on you.
People who will not take responsibility for their own actions...claiming to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time with a black cloud over their life. They always blame someone else for their misfortune when, in truth, everyone else can see that they are the cause of their own problems.

If we're talking about bosses...I can't stand being micro-managed. If you want to do it...do it. There's a reason I'm here. Let me work. That was a big part of why I left my last job.

People who try to impose their belief systems on everybody else, & abuse anyone who doesn't agree...
