    I love this thread!!
    I'd also love to think some of the people here washed their hands at all, much less twice! :explode:
    We have the crazy cat lady, hoarders, drop the f-bomb in the middle of the office, re-use styrofoam/tissues, burp & fart out loud, pick their nose or dig in their ears while carrying on a conversation with you, slovenly, talking to the voices inside their head, "just when you think you've heard it all" kinda people here. (most of this is rolled into two people, but.... )
    I feel so much better now, knowing I'm not alone in my plight! :flowerforyou:

    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).

    I think I worked with her too ;-) My version also clung to items that had outlived their use, and she kept her Miche handbag shell collection at work so her husband wouldn't see it. DOZENS of the things, under and around her desk in their boxes and all original packaging. We worked in a psychiatry practice (!) but no one ever mentioned her hoarding habits.

    I'd like to talk about the office weirdo, but then I hate to brag.



    Well played.

    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.

    haha Hunnib you're friggin hilarious

    1. My wife works with a lady that carries baby wipes to the bathroom. In the open. Almost to the point of making sure people know it that she makes it messy every time. And about twice a day.

    2. I once worked in an office where the next cubicle row over a girl would microwave a heating pad every day at 3:30PM. It literally smelt like burning rotten poo. It would stink the entire building up. My boss' boss walked up to me and asked what the smell was (after about the second straight week) and I told her exactly: "Oh, that? That's Kate's heating pad full of rotten *kitten* that she microwaves every day at 3:30. I get a headache every day from it." Thankfully after my strongly worded comment she never used it again.

    3. At the same company there was this guy that everyone avoided. He was a non-stop talker. He would never let you out of a conversation HE was having AT you. Even if you said, "Sorry, I have to use the restroom.", then proceed to walk into the bathroom, and even in a stall... HE WOULD FOLLOW YOU STILL TALKING.

    4. My wife worked at a different company where one of the older male workers would constantly talk to her about his sons. And despite her saying she was uncomfortable, he would make comments like "You should've married my one son." "You'd really like >InsertNameHere<, I'll tell him to stop by so I can introduce you two." It got to the point after a couple months where I was going to drive over one day and tell him to his face to back off. My wife kept telling me she would handle it because she knew I'd smash his face in and probably get arrested. Eventually she snapped and screamed at him in the middle of the office that she was repulsed by him and would most likely think his sons were pathetic creeps like their father, and if he made one non-work related comment to her she would have me come over to beat the *kitten* out of him for the constant sexual harassment. I heard from a co-worker of my wife later that he began to open his mouth to say something back and my wife promptly screamed again "One MOTHER F**KING WORD I swear to God!!" God I love that woman :flowerforyou:

    I've heard rumors that there is this one weird guy at work, but I haven't been able to find him.

    Should have followed him into the strip search to see if he was telling the truth. :bigsmile:
