Nine Types of Difficult People

Difficult people are everywhere!  It seems impossible to escape difficult people.  I found the following list humorous and truthful.  I have met everyone of these individuals...you probably have too.

Nine Types of Difficult People

1. The sherman tank will run right over you.

2. The star performer is entitled to your preferential treatment.

3. The megaphone will talk your ear off.

4. The bubble buster deflates everyone’s enthusiasm.

5. The volcano has temper like Mt. St. Helens.

6. The cry baby is a chronic complainer.

7. The nit picker is an unpleasable perfectionist.

8. The backbiter is a master of calculated rumor.

9. The space cadet is on a different wavelength.
