Have a heart to heart talk with the person.
Are the attention to details critical to solving issues ? If not raise to HR / change dept etc.

Talk to ur other coworkers and see if it is just u or he/she is doing that to everyone.

But if everyone is like that then introspectively you should check if you are too far on the other end...

I hv a not so good experience yesterday with such bloody perfectionist....

Really a mad dog indeed.
And don't know what the perfectionist trying to show off.

In fact, such perfectionist gv unnecessary stress. A minor issue can let a perfectionist making it a big hoo haa.

The difference is a perfectionist made a mistake is they will work extra hard to make sure it does not happens again.

Do you even know what you are talking?

Most others just make an excuse and never learn.
What will perfectionist say if he makes a mistakes right in front of you?

Perfectionist does not means will not make mistakes, is the attitude toward doing the best they can.

If it is work issue, in then end blame who? Blame yourself for making mistakes.

The higher up you go, the less margin of error upper up will accept. There are certain jobs that only perfectionist are suitable to do like coding, code one wrong stuff can be very big thing.

You made an error means other people need to adjust their work flow to cover up for you.

How many threads you opened already complaining people around your work place?

Never occurred to you, you might be the big problem?
