Punch You in the Face

Have you ever had a coworker that everytime they spoke you wanted to punch them in the face?  

This person isn't necessarily a bad person.  It's not always pure evil that brings the punchy feeling out.  Maybe this person is really friendly.  So overly friendly that the snake like qualities show through the smile and you know it's fake.  Maybe it's the endless posturing.  Maybe a good punch to the face will knock some posturing out of a person like this.  I don't know.  

These are some questions that I won't ever know the answers to. I don't resort to violence to solve my problems. Unlike the UC Davis campus police dept.


So how do you handle that posturing, snak-ey co-worker without a punch to the face? Stay focused on what's important. Ignore the non-sense and keep on working.
