    We've all heard about them: Lazy, incompetent, always passing the buck, and more than willing to accept a bribe to "speed things up". This character type exists somewhere in the overlap between Punch Clock Villains and Obstructive Bureaucrats. They are only lazy and incompetent when it serves their goal of not getting any work done, however. If someone threatens their position or privileges, they forget about laziness and incompetence and become relentless in abusing their power.
