Yep, several.
We had one elder who NEVER smiled. So much for the joy, right? We had an elderly sister who would cringe if a black person greeted her. We had a gossip who would make the story much juicier than it really was. It was quite a bunch of off-the-wall characters.
Oh, and we had one man who lost his mind and thought he was Moses.

Funny, I got along with everyone, there were some I didn't care for. But strangely enough, I didn't have close JW friends, so when I left it was no problem cutting the cords.
I know that my P.O. hated with a passion a former P.O. who lost his privileges, and he made sure that this former P.O. didn't even hold the microphones.

There were some that I didn't like. There was this hounder that insisted that I look and act happy about being rejected by the opposite sex, and even gave me a W on a talk on that counsel point (he was not known for giving out W's liberally). This same hounder usually kept me waiting 10 minutes or more after telling me explicitly "Just a minute" (as in one minute, not 10). I always started timing him as soon as "Just a minute" comes out of his mouth, and invariably it would be more than 10 minutes. And he was strict about the white shirt rule.
Funny thing, this same hounder had the nerve to wonder why I was only turning in one hour of field circus a month, not 200 or more.

Yes! Two elderly PI sisters snipped and bickered and yelled at each other in the khall parking lot after meetings for fs, in car groups, and everywhere else but the khall. It went before the elders with moi as one of the many witnesses. All the elder did was to have us all take turns reading from the United in Worship book about something. It was boring and didn't help at all. They shut up for a week but went right back to fighting. They were never removed.

Add my mom to the list of cringe inducing people that no one was able to like because of personality quirks that were loud, visually and auditorily, before, during and after the meetings. She makes the audience and speakers jump when she sneezes.

There was an elder in one hall who never ever admitted he was wrong.
Even if Jesus came and corrected him, it wouldn't be enough.
