I've decided to start this thread in knowing that many people have to, or have had to deal with impossible co-workers. There are many sites on the net that give insight and solutions to such issues. However I'd like to pose my issue her knowing that many people here can come up with some sound/funny/solid or help filled solutions to problems in the work force.
If you have any work related problems/issues with co-workers or bosses please share, maybe some of us can come up with some helpful suggestions for you in how to deal and or cope with difficult co-workers.

Me... first

I work with a male co-worker who has started acting real weird. About a month or so ago I hurt my upper left arm while doing a home repair. I even took off for a day to go to the doctor.
Well the day I returned to work, I told him i missed work due to an injury my arm.
then for some strange reason the same co-worker started tapping me (open handed) on my arm in the same area of the injury. I told him nicely that I had hurt my arm and please stop because it was causing me added pain. He said "oh, I forgot you said you hurt your arm. Well this went on for about a week, all in all each time he would tap me on my arm and I would remind him about my injury he kept saying, oh, I keep forgetting. This incident happened more than ten times within the week. Mind you, we were never on any type of familiar ground, only professional, and prior to my injury there was never any physical contact between the two of us.
I made a complaint, now it's seems like I shouldn't have. because the supervisor said that in this new generation touching is something younger people do, and told me i should not have taken it so dramatically. i need the job. what would you do?

I had a difficult co-worker once. I pulled him 2 the side and told him if I have 2 have this conversation with him again, I was going 2 foot my foot up his ass. That was the last conversation we had of that nature.

Well, good thing for you he didn't have a foot fetish, or that could have gotten awkward.
