People can make your job harder

I have worked with people with a chip on their sholders and it's the most awful time you'll have. It makes me want to work alone.
Do you think it's normal?

Indeed, people are often very difficult to work with. If it is tolerable, stay awhile longer if you must, then leave the job and look for a job where you are not around such impossible, rude people. What you are experiencing most of us encounter.
I know what ur talking about. They annoy and start to cause stress, serious stress which can cause major damage to your psychology. Change jobs if you can.
You will find they are probably in dept or have a bad home life and are at work because they have to be
To be fair, let us look at the other side of the coin. Some people in the workplace appear to have what is known as "thin skin". Generally, anything said or done gives these people an excuse to get upset, thinking the whole world is out to get them.
There is nitpicking and gentle teasing. But there are in fact grade A, socialised sociopathic FUCKING Antichrists out there. Trust me. Evil mindsets. Yes I said it... EVIL. You'll be so fucked it'll be too late.
I work with a fat lady that spends all her money at the grocery store. Shes always complaining about not having money. She gets pissed when she sees people with new things, or when people don't offer her food. She thinks the world owes her something. Last year she bought a new car, but she doesn't have it anymore because it got reposessed, it was only $300 a month. She's my supervisor, she makes about $5000 usd a month and can't manage her $. Now she makes this guy at my job pick her up every morning because she doesn't want to take the bus. She likes to walk around acting pathetic so people can feel sory for her. I just ignore her, because my life doesn't suck.
Suprvisors where I work are jealous of their subordinates.

We can get Holiday pay and make over time money, amd they rarely can.

So they take it out on us. Not oly that the condition of beinga supervisor they can move you to any shift their superiors want to. And, when they get there hey make everyone elses life a nughtmare.

Thus, no one wants the position, so what do they get. The less desirables, and new hires!
you say you HAVE worked with difficult people so whats the problem now.
I can totally relate!!! I'm a girl. But I find it really hard to get along with them. I work better with all guys. Or really cool girls. Working with jealous drama queens makes me dread going to work!! Because they always try to make you make mistakes. And then I get in trouble.

I totally feel you on that. I jumped when my company offered me an at-home position.

Hang in there. While you're toughing it out at your current job, look for something for loners like ourselves. Telecommute, internet based, whatever. Make your computer work for YOU!
I can relate to this, The unfortunate part of my job is that I work in healthcare, which has to be a team effort. The thing that bothers me the most is ppl who love to gossip and thrive on themselves. It seems that most of the time ppl are there to compete with one another and forget about what we're there for, to take care of patients. I try to avoid those that cause problems and have a chip on their shoulder. I just give my best to my patients but avoid stupid ppl as much as possible. As someone mentioned in a comment above, some ppl find it hard to leave their problems at home. You just never know. Good luck!!
i work with a girl that has a severe personality disorder, and I want to shoot her.

She purposely creates messes around the workplace and leaves notes to my boss that she saw me do it... he caught on when i had a week off, and he was getting these notes. but now she leaves the notes on my work area explaing what i did to piss her off and why she did it... 'you didn't make a new pot of coffee, and i saw you take the last cup, so I dumped your lunch on the inside of the fridge.'

im not her only target, but she cant get fired... her therapist (lol) wrote a note!!!
a ha... not any more... the bitch got fired for screaming at an important client!!!!
