That goes beyond weird; it's mentally ill. There is DNA on poo so we are hoping someone cares enough to be taking samples and keeping them to charge whoever it ends up being. The building has cameras but they aren't 'operable'. The worst.

Totally agree that this is mental illness. Unless you swab all of the employees for samples, how do you think you'll be able to compare poop? I hope you find the perv either way!

Yeah, mental illness. My sister worked with someone who did that -- would smear feces all over the room. She had some other odd behaviors too. She was removed from the position and eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia of some sort. It's gross for the co-workers but mainly I feel sorry for someone with those kinds of issues. Some of the other crazy people reported on here, though, not so much!

OK - here's my weird one. A friend worked for a politician who was anorexic. She kept a bowl of lemon drops on her desk and would suck the sugar off, put them back in the bowl, and offer them to people.

Hey, you posted that early on this thread!

No I didn't'!LOL But I see someone else is from California.

This must be your friend:

My former boss had an eating disorder. She used to keep a bowl of lemon drops on her desk and she would suck the sugar coating off them and put them back. Then she'd offer them to staff and visitors.

Man, the coworker who resigned (after one week) via a post it note stuck to his computer screen really pales in comparison to these.

OMG who??? Anna Eshoo? Barbara Boxer? Kamala Harris? Not Pelosi or Feinstein, surely.

No, definitely not one of them. This person was in state politics and is no longer in office.

WTF?? I am scared to ask, how do you know they were toenails?

You could just tell by their size. But really, even fingernails would be freaky. Who does that?

Yeah, that is pretty out there. So simple yet disturbing because who would even think of doing something like that?

I work with someone else who has hearing issues that I think are the reason why he smacks, chomps, and slurps so loudly while he eats that it turns my stomach.

I did that. It was common at our small NGO, but the floors were carpeted and clean. Of course, I'd put shoes on to go outside the office.

When my DH was clerking for a federal judge, his co-clerk got fired b/c he kept walking around the chambers in his socks. His feet smelled, ok, reeked and would make the entire office smell like feet. After several warnings, he still kept taking off his shoes and finally the judge had enough.

How is it that I am unemployed?

Biggest eccentricity: I like colored paper clips. That's it.

Yes. I was going to mention my co-worker who cuts his finger and toe nails in his office with his office door open (I can hear the "click, click, click" down the hall). Given the state of his office I bet much of it ends up on the floor, but not in our office freezer, thank God.

One of my coworkers suggested we have an office baby shower (which I did not request) AFTER my child was born, in case the baby didn't survive. She actually said this to me.

Christmas parties are always good for weirdness.

At one law firm Christmas party, the office manager got drunk removed her prosthetic breast from her bra and chased one of the associates around the bar with it. She was trying to see how he would look with boobs. The associate was extremely germ phobic and freaked out. She finally threw it at him and bounced it off his head.

At another law firm Christmas party, an associate talked his drunk wife into tackling a junior partner whom the associate hated at the dinner table. She did it and the junior partner slammed his head into a wood chair rail on the wall. He need a couple of stitches. Junior Partner eventually left the firm for better opportunities and the associate became a partner.

OMG!

When one of the associates was leaving the office because his wife was in labor, a Senior Partner said "Good luck" and then said "If the baby is gorked, you know who to bring the case to."

These are so good!
