Well the obvious one is: comes into the office.
Others off the top of my head: control-freakery, failing to share important information, lying artlessly, being South African.

Micro managers are the absolute worst and Iām convinced itās fuelled by insecurity about their general bossing skills and a need to cover oneās own arse (also due to insecurity)*
*caveat - probably fine in actual jobs that matter but barely any of us have those
Practices his golf swing in the office.
With my boss itās more a pathological desire to do everything himself. To be honest over the last three or so years Iāve been pretty happy to indulge him in this, limiting myself to the odd āwell personally I wouldnāt do it that wayā.
Does a weird little jog whenever he moves around in the office. Heās desperate for people to think āthere goes a very important person with lots of important work to do.ā
keeps urging me to watch Nacho Libre (his favourite film)
Makes every conversation last about 10 minutes. Asked him something that required a one word answer, ended up stuck listening to him talk for 15 minutes about why I should buy my own domain name for personal emails.

Today my boss told me a five minute anecdote about dirt.
Dish it
Honestly, my boss is faultless. Am absolutely blessed.
Handed her notice in, which means Iām going to have to find another job too.
His neighbour had a lot of dirt. My boss asked if he could have the dirt for some raised flowerbeds. The neighbour agreed.
They got a truck to deliver the dirt (there was a lot of it). But it had rained, and the truck couldnāt safely make it to where the dirt needed to go, so instead dumped the dirt in my bossās driveway.
My boss did not want to move the dirt on his own, so he attempted to bribe his children $100 to move the dirt to where it needed to be. It backfired, though, because they normally get $5 for chores so realised that this was going to be a monumental task. A day later, though, and they decided that they did want the $100 after all.
After four wheelbarrows, though, they had barely dented the big pile of dirt and wanted to give up. So my boss helped them and the dirt got moved to where the dirt was originally supposed to be.
Fin.
Has a habit of ringing about 5 minutes before I go to lunch and it ends up being a 30 minute phone call.
Loves a bit of nit picking, if someone has broken a bit of formatting on a spreadsheet or didnāt reply to an email (even if they sorted the problem), heāll try and make something of it.
all the songs are about heroin
