kicielinski

This is the word used to define a hobo. A bum. A lazy moocher. Someone who was too lazy to do something correct because it required them to do a teensy bit of work.

"If its too dificult to work with, better not do it at all, because then we'd have to do more than even less than the minimum requirement of the job." is a line heard from a Kicielinski type of person.

Their dental hygiene is so poor, to call them a slobbering hobo is a compliment. Their green stubby fangs that protrude from their mouth disgust even back alley vermin such as rats.

This person can't handle things that require the use of the mind, such as ordering supplies, or using their hands to cut something.

A Kicielinski will have their feelings hurt quite easily as they are thin skinned losers and deny others what is their rights to have, and make up excuses as to why they are such failures.

Then they'll resort to lying and make false accusations as to why another shouldn't be permitted to move up in the world, usually because they are jealous losers.

If you suck at life and aren't good at your job and sabotage others out of spite and jealosy, you might be a Kicielinski.
Did you hear what that retard tony said?

No, what?

He said he wouldn't allow Henry to continue with any new apprentice training. He made up some stupid excuse to cover his dumb ass, what was it again? Oh yeah! he said he was "jittery and unfocused". What a retard. He must not know henry at all.

What a loser. What does he hope to gain? Henry is 10x the cake decorator he is! Not that it'd be difficult with his lack of skill!

What a worthless Kicielinski he is. And did you see his teeth?

Yeah. Gross. Didn't he ever hear of tooth paste? Someone should punch his teeth out, at least then that disgusting shade of green will be removed. Blech!

tire kicker 

Someone who is indecisive about purchasing a product or service, and never feels satisfied with what they are offered. In the end a tire kicker may or may not buy. The term comes from sales people at car dealerships. Tire kickers would come around frequently, kick the tires a few times on the cars that they liked, but never make a solid purchasing decision on any particular car or trim.
