bloody-minded
Deliberately difficult, uncooperative
Bloody-minded means deliberately difficult, obstinate, or uncooperative: He's being bloody-minded about the schedule just to annoy us.
The term implies stubbornness for its own sake—not principled disagreement but perverse obstructionism.
It's a particularly British way to describe someone who seems to enjoy making things harder.
