Who here has dealt with an obxnious co worker? I've had plenty of jobs and sure theres been douchebags but not like this. This one mother fucker talks shit everyday and its obxnious as hell. He says shit that would get his mouth punched outside of work. I've told him if it's not about work not to talk to me and if he talks shit again we would have issues.
This loser has a dad locked up for child molestation and a quick criminal background check shows he has a record for domestic violence and phone harrassment. It has taken everything in me not to bring this up when he does his bullshit.
I feel like going to HR is kind of a bitch move and our manager is lazy. Talking to him about it would make me look dramatic and have repercussions.
So if you've dealt with this situation before how did you handle it?

This needs a little more input before any useful advice can be provided.
- What kind of environment do work in? Office, warehouse, factory, etc.
- How expendable are you?
- How expendable is the co-worker?
- What is saying to make you uncomfortable?
- Did you try to catch these alleged interactions on an audio/video recording? A smart phone will do wonders for that method.
The best advice until you figure out the above is compartmentalize work and private life and ignore the co-worker.
