[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. One who is a spinster and still lives at home at 32 and seems to have no life outside of work.

2. One who calls everyone 'Angel' 'Darling' 'Beautiful/Gorgeous'[/quote]

Wow... where to begin...

1. Living at home and being unmarried at age 32 isn't weird and don't bother anyone except for the poster. I think you are being really judgmental, as you probably don't know what is going on/has happened in her life.

2. I don't think these habits are that weird - it could be a regional thing. But, as we are in the #metoo era, I don't think it is advisable to say these things in the workplace.

Personally, I think this thread reflects more negatively on some of the posters, rather than their allegedly "weird" coworkers.

We have a guy who is in hid mid thirties and lives at home. We are IT helpdesk. He's diabetic (a few times over the years EMTs have been called for him), frail looking--hollow chest, no muscles at all, has some OCD traits (he has a hard time about certain company rules involving our clients that half the people routinely violate so matter what and is always reporting the violators/ ranting/ submitting feedback about) and seems to have a very hard time when it comes to judgment calls where we don't have information or we have conflicting information but you can usually figure out and then submit something about--he'll get very stressed in those situations. His family is very, very into food--rating restaurants, shopping at specialty stores, he was thrilled beyond words when we got our first Aldi--apparently you can get giant jars of capers there although not snobby. The few times I have run into him away from work he is with his parents and his sister--his sister looks like a very normal and quite attractive person. He has IT education beyond what our job requires but I think he feels safe where he is. [/quote]

Wow. That guy has a pathologically judgmental coworker who lacks common sense about over sharing. Not cool, PP. And learn what OCD actually is before you go playing internet psychiatrist. [/quote]
