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

Had a former coworker who said she never ate anything in the a.m. until lunch time. She apparently didn't brush her teeth either because her breath always smelled horrible, especially in the morning!

An older male coworker would bring back candy (w/o wrappers) like mints & M&Ms from restaurants, dig them out of his pants pocket and hand them out to coworkers like he was giving them a treat, lol.

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.

Once, in a meeting with my former boss, I counted all of the pictures of her kids in her office. There were 53. I shit you not. Every surface COVERED in pictures of her three kids, including naked bathtime pictures.

It was painfully obvious after a couple of times. But I sympathize. I simply cannot poop with someone else in the restroom.

Shy pee-er here. IT. Is. Not. Funny.

I stole an Out of Order sign from building maintenance card once and now whenever I have to poop at work, I hang it on the door and turn the lights off. Never been busted since but pooping in the dark is weird.

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?

This is someone that was here before me but stories of her are legendary. She was a paralegal and she would come in and plop her purse down on the floor, which would be open and you could see all her prescription meds in there. She had long hair and would flip it over her face and sit there for the first hour that she was at work. No one was allowed to talk to her before 10 am while her hair was in her face. She told everyone that they must communicate with her only through email and she assigned a color code so for example, emails from Susan had to be blue, emails from Bill had to be red, etc. When one person refused she got into a screaming match with her and accused her of not accommodating her "disability". She also went ballistic after she discovered her stapler in the copy room instead of on her desk.

HOW could they be friends with someone like that? I would despise all of them if I worked there.

I started a job and was 5 months pregnant, not really showing.

A few months later I was talking to a coworker who was like "When I first met you, I couldn't tell if you were pregnant or just really fat!"

He was not the most pleasant person.

Who chews gum with their mouth open while they go boom-boom in a stall next to another co-worker going boom-boom? Weird.

Or who stands in front of the stall when someone goes boom boom. And just stands there. Forever. No running water. No hand washing. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? LEAVE!!! It's as annoying as people who stand on the left side of the Metro escalator.

And if you have to wipe 1000 times, please, do it over the toilet, not in front of it. I hate seeing all those bits of paper on the floor in front of the toilet. EWWWWWWW

Boss #1 - Had an affair with a subordinate and used to have sex with her in his office. They also used to snort coke at work.

Boss #2 - Was an alcoholic and was caught by a facilities guy passed out under her desk. She said she was looking for her earring, but her office was completely dark. Sometimes, she would sleep in her office overnight. She never bothered to change clothes in the mornings. She got fired but eventually turned around, and now she has a great job and is doing well.

Boss #3 - Only eats if there's a free meal, steals food from others, and goes through the trash. He has multiple advanced degrees and makes a sizable salary.

What industry???

Senior Partner at medium size law firm. He spends a good part of his day writing BDSM porn stories long-hand on yellow legal pads. 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.

I haven't figured out who it is yet, but we've got someone who leaves 8 oz. bottles of grape juice with various amounts in them in the fridge. There will be at any one time about 5 of them lined up, all with different amounts of grape juice. I don't understand why they don't just finish one before starting the next.
