Love too. Actually I'd like to beat him senseless with the telephone handset, kind of tricky explaining that to the boss though. That's why this thread is needed.
You want to beat and make love to him? You need help.
I thought we need a thread to vent. Well I do anyway. I'm in the contractor corner with one other guy. This guy comes in spends at least 4 hours every single f**kin day making private calls, no exageration, friends, family he even puts together conf calls with all his mates and sits there talking, laughing. Puts down the phone, waits, oh, 10seconds, another call. All day. Bizarre. Manager doesn't notice. I am so tempted to grass him up. I think if he gets a contract extension (probably not) I will.
Why does this make him a knobhead?
Are you so sanctimonious you get annoyed he isn't doing any work? That's his lookout. Are you really a permie?

Nope - I'm on here aren't I? What pisses me off is being a captive audience. He's getting grassed up anyway.
Doesn't anyone else hate their co-workers?

Take up humming or singing.
Get a tennis ball and start bouncing it against his desk.
Start asking him personal questions about whoever he's been talking to.
