Weirdos at Work
Replies
-
I am not the weirdo at work but most would call me the crazy one. I laugh loud and make a lot of jokes. I work for a major bank's mortgage department. Everyone is like a stuffed shirt here, so I try to lighten it up.
But the one weirdo I worked with would fart all the time and he did not care who was around and would not bat an eye about it, it was like he sneezed or something.0 -
I used to work with an emergency doctor who would crack under pressure every couple of years and walk out in the middle of major resus's. I once saw him tip a spinal boarded patient off the trolley because the patient kept swearing at the nurses.
I also worked with a Serbian ex-military doctor who when asked by an 11 year old kid what the worst thing he had ever seen was replied "I saw my best friend have his head blown off". He used to tell cardiac patients "you smoke, you drink, you ****ed, you die"
I used to work for a female OB doc that got pissed if she had to do a pap smear on someone who had pubic hair.
She was almost 80, so had been practicing basically forever, but she said "It'd different now days."
She would also get in trouble by her nurses on a regular basis for working more than 48 hours straight (it's supposed to be illegal for doctors to work that many hours straight, but it's very difficult to track because they are somewhat self-employed.)
She would also have her nurses cut her hair during business hours instead of just going to a salon.
She was weird.
I liked her until she accused me of witchcraft and fired me.0 -
I work as a welder and yeah, there are more then a few loose guns running about.
We have a dress code. No tank tops or cap sleeved shirts, no torn pants, no sweat pants, Jewelry is to be kept to a minimum, no dangly stuff. Tops are not to be revealing.
So what happens? We have girls who come in with there "Girls" hanging most all the way out. Then they wonder why they get burned so much from sparks. Another girls wears her pants 3 sizes to small and wonders why they keep ripping. (she's running around duck taped most of the time)
Then there are the talkers and "visitors". They want to talk about their sex life 50% of the time and the other 50% they just babble on about nothing.0 -
I'm always 'that' weirdo at work :indifferent:0
-
Everyday!!!!!!!!You should work in my Courthouse (felony court)..... Need I say more?
Haha one of my temp jobs I read prisoner complaint letters against the Department of Corrections. Now THERE were some crazyy people. lol
And the stories we tell about our clients...
Oh the general public...0 -
...........but did you thing, I wish I had thrown that laptop.

My employees work for me because I'm so crazy

There's this one girl at my work that plays on the MFP forums all day than randomly blurts out something all judgmental like "This lady can't figure out why she's not losing weight but she eats over a thousand calories of fast food per meal!!!" Oh wait, that's me!0
-
Haha I wash my hands before doing my business most of the time. I'm more concerned about the bacteria from my hands getting onto my hooha than the other way around!
I'm a technician in an Apple store, and I think every single one of us has weird habits. I don't think I could single any out anymore.0 -
I think everyone has habits that are weird to someone else. It's just not weird to us. Or maybe it is :happy:0
-
My coworker usually farts all afternoon and then tells me he's "shooting rabbits" every time.0
-
The guy that sits right across from me eats ice cubes all day long.
Drives me insane.
This used to be me!! Until I found out I had really low iron, once that was fixed the pica went away!0 -

haha this is great.0 -
Dunno if it's weird per se, but my supervisor sleeps half the day. Literally - he's in the same room and I hear him snoring. Annoying as hell.0
-
For how small my office is, there is a surprising amount of weirdos...
I have a work mom who insists on buying me clothes for holidays and brings me food that I don't like. She talks a lot about random annoying things for hours. I have heard her stories multiple times (more times then I have heard my bf's stories), but the fun part is she is a compulsive liar who can't keep her stories straight. She cries (literally) about how could never have kids and had miscarriages and just yesterday she was showing me pictures of a man who she says is her son that she adopted 24 years ago. She said she was raised with dobermans to protect her, but she recently changed them to poodles for some reason. She also flushes toilets when she is mad, which is a lot.
There is rather large man who is always bragging about stuff he gets for free for complaining at restaurants. He eats out at every meal, waits to use the restroom until he is at work because toilet paper is "too expensive," steals supplies, yet tries to tell on me for watching hulu and netflix (my boss doesn't care and actually suggested some shows) and everyone else. Every time I walk by him he is on FB, or yelp. He also claims to be trying to lose weight and uses "Lose It" and logs walking from his car to his desk as 20 minutes of walking and eats 6 Jack in the Box tacos every day. He ate the gingerbread house we made over a year ago this last May, dust and all. He doesn't wash his hands after using the restroom (you can hear the water run in our building), or shower daily (his hair is greasy and he smells). He criticizes EVERYONE. And he eaves drops outside the bosses office during her meetings.
There is also a close hand talker who has drawn on me accidentally while talking because she is flailing around so much.0 -
Wow.... where do you work? I need to remember to never apply there. Don't think I could handle coworkers like that.0
-
I am the weirdo at work!!!!!! SUp *****es~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!0
-
Haha dang he really loves Under Armour... maybe he has stock in them or something
But speaking of people's work attire..... there are some people in my office who actually wear SWEATPANTS to work! like grey baggy sweat pants. This is supposed to be a professional office, people! :P
LOL that is pretty bad.
I worked with a woman who was probably a size S/5-6 and wore clubbing-type shirts, but they were not too crazy or revealing so they looked professional enough, and nice trousers from Express, and heels...and then EVERY DAY no matter the weather, she wound up wearing this big grey sweatshirt over her clothes. It was the kind men wear who work in construction, with a thick fuzzy white lining and industrial zipper, and it had to be a mens size XL! I get that she was cold in the frigid office, but come on...get something a bit more stylish and work-appropriate, or at least something close to your own size!!
I wear sweatpants to work.
I work graveyard in IT and on planned gym days, I come into work wearing sweatpants/workout attire and I head straight there after I get off work in the mornings. Guess I am a weirdo...SWEET! :bigsmile:
Well...working graveyard shift in IT is *way* different than working in an accounting department 8-5 where you often face the public and 60 professionally dressed coworkers. I'd say you get slack on that for sure. When I was in college and worked 18-24 hour shifts with adults with autism, I often wore shorts & band logo t-shirts.0 -
The people I work with are fine. It's the customers that never cease to amaze us.0

...
At my work there's this lady who always washes her hands BEFORE she enters the stall to do her business. Maybe she's a clean freak, but I find it a little odd to do that beforehand when she's just going to have to do it again anyway.
...
Not odd at all. When I head to the rest room, my junk's been in my pants all day - sheltered and clean. My hands, meanwhile - well, who knows where they have been? (What are the most bacteria-laden things in your office? It's not the kitchen and bathroom, it's your phone and keyboard) So anyway, it makes perfect sense to get your hands clean *before* you touch your naughty bits.0 -
Hand washing?
We have a lady here that is constantly washing her FEET in the sink.
Falling asleep at their desk?
We had a guy here that did that on a regular basis. Last year he died at his desk and no one noticed for hours......0 -

Yeef. I'm a software engineer, and everyone's generally dressed in khakis and dress shirts. One time I had to be in the office at 4:00am for a conference call with some contractors in Germany, and when I came in a colleague of mine was coding away at his desk ... in his boxers.0 -
I must work at the weirdest place ever. I think I may be the only "normal" one... although they probably think I'm weird.
I work in a graphic design office with 3 guys who constantly talk about and draw boobs and/or phallic symbols on stuff, and two of them like to fill us all in when they get laid.
The newest member of our team must have some sort of gastrointestinal thing, because he sure farts a lot. And he doesn't care who hears it. Like seriously- in the middle of a conversation he'll stop talking and let one rip for a minute straight. Weird.
Don't even get me started on the rest of our team... I work in R&D so we've got lots of really smart and very unusual people around here... add to that that Fridays become "beer Fridays" after 2:00...0 -
You guys don't even know about weird. I had to make TWO threads about my weird new co worker, Jeff.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: OMG I AM WEAK!!! I read both of your threads!0 -
I'm the weirdo at work. I get questions every few months regarding my personalized license plate (it's a potion from RPG's) and here's my geek wall and the upper part of my desk.

I have a coworker that I'm sure is a hoarder - like the ones you see on TV, although I've never seen her house. She keeps 11 pairs of shoes at her desk. She keeps the lids of dead pens (she has dozens) - I don't know why. She'll keep old pages of used labels to cut the edges to use as white out- despite the fact we have plenty of whiteout sticks in the stationary cupboard. She also has an entire large cupboard filled with vitamins, she's like a health store. She takes a couple dozen pills a day, and I'm not exaggerating (none of them are prescription pills)
. I keep thinking of more: She microwaves her food in tin foil pretty well every day, and she also reheats coffee in the to-go cups from restaurants so the bottom scorches (it smells so bad).0 -
Yes, I agree it is different working graveyard and a guy coding in his boxers? At work? Yeah, no. Even working overnights and knowing I will be the only guy at my workplace, like it is on holidays, I would never be just in boxers.Haha dang he really loves Under Armour... maybe he has stock in them or something

I do this too. Of course, I also wash my hands AFTERWARD to protect everyone else from MY germs but, I also like to protect MYSELF from anything I may have picked up elsewhere. Just a thought.
I have MANY "weirdos" at work...here are a few
1) an optometrist (no longer here) who would ALWAYS turn seemingly innocent conversation into completely inappropriate ones. Example: we were in the breakroom and I mentioned something about coffee filters and he somehow thought it would be relative and appropriate to bring up anal sex... WTH?? Doesn't get much more random or uncomfortable that THAT
2) a tech (somehow, also in the optometry dept) always turns the topics of discussion to horses. Is this the only thing they have knowlege of? ALWAYS! and I know virtually NOTHING about horses. So, our conversations are pretty short...thankfully
3) the mental health provider (also no longer here) used to text during sessions and talk more about her own problems...Those sessions are NOT ABOUT YOU!!! SHEESH
Sometimes I just have to shake my head and wonder What is WRONG with this place?? haha
There are more but I would be here ALL DAY. And yes, I'm sure I would be on that list somewhere (maybe with the handwashing lol)0
