Yeah, maybe it’s that simple - he just has a general attitude problem and a chip on his shoulder, and can’t always control his urge to be rude and antagonistic.
Would Vince have known about the plan to throw the fight, though? Marcellus and Butch had only just planned it when Vince and Jules arrived at the bar.
I didn’t understand why David was invited to the Christmas party, though; Neil is unhappy that David’s been visiting the office after being let go, so why invite him to the party?

True!
Plus Neil no longer has to be professionally courteous to David; even Gareth seems more inclined to speak his mind about certain aspects of David and his behaviour.
Maybe Neil just lost patience with David, who has apparently spent the year since his redundancy turning up uninvited at the office and making a nuisance of himself.
That’s a good theory, IMHO — he did indeed behave antagonistically towards Wolf, so maybe he feels a need to assert himself with people he hasn’t met before.
I thought the ghosts were an extension of the hotel itself - sort of the hotel’s essence taking on a human form.
Also, he uses the royale with cheese reference that he’d heard earlier from Vince, so the ‘my girlfriend’s a vegetarian’ thing was probably also just something he’d heard someone else say and decided to use.
And during the diner robbery, he says he never really thought about the meaning of the Ezikiel quote he uses (and embellishes), he just thought it sounded good.
All of which suggests he says things primarily for dramatic effect rather than because they’re true or accurate.
I’d have thought that was something Marcellus would have been careful to keep quiet.
Though perhaps Vince guessed what was being planned when he saw Butch talking to Marcellus.
