What is it with some people?

[Speirs]

I work with a person who is always looking \ searching out for other peoples mistakes.
If I find a mistake I just correct it and move on or if I make a mistake I own up to it and call myself a ***.
They make a great deal out of it when they find something by pointing it out or going to the supervisor but when they make a mistake they deny that it was them.
I once was standing behind said person waiting to use a computer when I noticed that they had inputted something incorrectly. I just said 'that's in the wrong place, it should be there.'
No big deal on my behalf, we all make mistakes.
Next think I hear is.......
'It wasn't me, someone else did that.'
I nearly fell over with
They knew I was behind them waiting and must have known that I could see them doing the inputting.
Or...
If someone says that something has gone wrong then said person says 'I haven't done it' and hangs about waiting to see who has done it for dirt to dish.
It really winds me up!!

The three little sentences that will get you through life.
Number 1: Cover for me.
Number 2: Oh, good idea, Boss!
Number 3: It was like that when I got here.

You can't rage either: "I make a mistake I own up to it and call myself a ***."

I know what you mean though, I've had the misfortune of working with someone just like that. Constantly correcting things only to be the one making the worst mistakes, who'd never own up to them.

Best way to deal with it is find a way to wind them up.

LOL @ Kylew. Brilliant.

You'll always find people like that in the workplace. My colleagues are nice enough, but tend to pick like that and take little sarcastic digs at your competence when you've made a mistake. Except, they've made exactly the same mistake, and more times than you have (eg. while updating a database etc.).

I just shrug it off.

Now, go and find yourself a supervisor and report my mistake!!
