Ignore them. Help them with their problems.

These are good thoughts! Consider rephrasing your answer, however, so it comes across as more positive and thorough, in addition to including concrete steps you might take in this sort of situation. Please see below for another way you could answer this question.

In situations where a coworker is difficult, I usually employ the strategy of limiting my interactions with them and remaining as neutral as possible in their vicinity. In other words, I try not to engage with them unless it's necessary to complete my job responsibilities. I leave them on their own to do what they're going to do, while I focus on performing my job to the best of my ability. In other cases, I might talk to them one-on-one and try to understand their perspective. If I believe I can help them to resolve whatever their issues are, I will gladly help. But, in general, my goal in dealing with difficult coworkers is to not let their negativity impact my job performance.

Anonymous Answer

I find that there will be difficult coworkers at every job, I treat them with the same respect I have for my other coworkers and continue on with the job at hand as long as their work or personality doesn't interfere with anyone's safety.

Good answer! It sounds like you have a mature and professional approach to managing your relationships with difficult co-workers. To strengthen your response, talk to the interviewer about the steps you would hypothetically take if a co-worker's work or personality did cause a safety concern.
