Tell me about your weird co-worker(s)...

Co-worker who arrives two hours early (6 am) b/c she's afraid to drive in traffic

So she just sits around until her "work day" starts.

He keeps them in a leather briefcase that he carries everywhere. The junior associates have named it "the football." There has been extensive debate among the other partners about what to do with the football is Senior Partner croaks at the office. Do we give it to his wife? Do throw it away and not tell her what happened to it?

What is it with Senior Partners? The Senior Partner at my first law firm would get drunk at the office and yell at staff and associates "Why don't you love me? Why doesn't anyone at this law firm love me?"

Good times.

Good fucking Lord! How do you NOT recognize yourself?

LOL!

hahaha - that is NUTS. Reminds me of the crazy office manager I had who would have lunch behind closed doors every day promptly at 12:30. It turns out she had a tiny TV and was watching soap operas in there. She also finished her day at 4pm, but her husband who worked down the street didn't finish until 5. So she would go down to the building garage and sit in her car waiting for him for an hour. Every single day.
And if you went down to the garage between 4-5pm and saw her, she would blank you, because she was "not working". Crazy.

This is exactly the same thing! Turkey, lettuce, tomato and mayo on whole wheat. Never a pickle. Always a particular kind of soda. Every.single.day. Slavishly.

It's odd but not as strange as the rest of the things in this thread. I know a guy who eats the same salad from the same place every single day for lunch. It's a combo of being incapable of deciding what he wants and rigidly watching his food consumption due to what I think must be health concerns or a strong family history. He tells us that he knows that salad works for him in terms of calories, fat etc and he prefers to save his calories for when he is not eating at his desk. And I believe him - I have traveled with him and at dinner, he will get chicken, fish etc.

Co-worker who comes to work on extra days and days off and stays late. Not to do work. But because co-worker is afraid of being forgotten or not part of the working crowd. Puts on a front of being a dedicated, hard worker to other co-workers and family but really doesn't do much of anything work-related. Talk about needing to trim the fat.

I used to have a coworker who talked about her divorce all to everyone, all the time. The divorce was 10 years earlier and she was remarried, so I never understood the fixation. As a game for myself, I would try to come up with conversation topics that I thought for sure she couldn't bring her divorce into. I don't know how she did it, but she did - every time.

My husband eats the same thing for lunch every day. Turkey, salami, provolone, and mustard on toast, a granola bar, and a piece of fruit. His work is mentally intense, and I believe he doesn't want to waste energy thinking about food. I now also eat that same lunch because it's just easier.

This thread is totally cracking me up but this one pushed me into tears-running-down-my-face laughing.

Thanks to everyone for going to bed after some deep belly laughs. So true that "all the animals aren't in a zoo.".6

A senior partner in a law firm where I worked took a nap at his desk every day in the late afternoon. He'd close his door about 3/4 of the way, open his briefcase (hard backed like a suitcase) and prop it up on his desk so it partially blocked him and he sat back in his chair and napped. I used to tiptoe into his office and quietly drop papers off in his in box so I didn't wake him.

haha! i can top yours, if you can believe it . i had a co worker who would go work out downstairs, come back
up to the office to get changed and leave his drawers out to dry in his cubicle. i worked late one night and walked by his cube on my way out. it was mortifying.

I accidentally found out and discovered EVERYONE knows. People are friends with him and hang out with him.

So they know and they still hang out with him? I think they are just as sick as he is.

No shit!!! I don't understand how they can tolerate him. I have so many questions for him for one thing! Like first, what the hell is wrong with you?

Isn't it illegal? He should have been arrested.

This thread gives me confidence. If all these people still have jobs, nobody should worry about layoff.
