The Weirdo At Work
Permalink  

Every work place has one. We have a guy named Bob who is kind of a recluse. When we have meetings or parties or anything he never shows up. When asked who's missing we always forget about Bob. He sits in an office back in the corner and never makes a peep. He reminds me of The guy from the movie Office Space. When he walks up front he makes a sniffing noise because of his allergies.

we had a temp for all of last week and yesterday was her last day.  she temped for the receptionist who went to Hawaii.  I give the receptionist her lunch so i talked to her more than most everyone here.  she was a NUT.  she was constantly insisting that there were fumes.  she put her shirt up over her mouth and propped the door open.  they were painting outside and she said she preferred that to the "fumes" we had inside.  there aren't any fumes inside by the way.  she wouldn't touch things that had other peoples germs on them.  she wanted us to order her a headset for her so she didn't have to pick up the receiver.  there is a headset already but she didnt' want to touch it.  so we're supposed to order her a special one for like 3 days of use??   we probably wouldn't even get it by the time she left!  and she called in sick one day because she got a migraine from answering the phone so much.  then she was constantly telling people about cancer in the water and other germy things.  real wierdo.

We've got a lady who just started a few months ago that's probably not going to make it too much longer.  Not only does she come in whenever she wants, take as long as a lunch as she likes, leaves whenever, takes multiple lunches, and talks on the phone to her kids all day, but she does not know what polite conversation is.  The other day she came in talking about how she noticed that her puppy's testicles dropped.  She is just plain weird.

Trust me, we've had constant commentary on the condition of those testicles, up to and including the day that they were removed.  I've never been happier to see a puppy neutered.

I used to work around this guy named Charlie who was very strange.  He wore birkenstock's with white socks and a knitted stocking cap no matter what time of year it was.  He would prop his sandals up on the desk and go to sleep all the time.  He was a govt employee and I was just a lowly contract worker, so not much I could do about it.  He was also a germophobe.  Being the sassy person that I am, when he would go to sleep, I would start hacking and coughing around him.  He would bolt upright and try to get as far away from me as possible.  I had more sore throats from fake coughing...

We have Mr. Sexual Harassment guy.  This guys is so irritating.  He hasn't bothered me in awhile but he would like give me looks and be like you look nice today.  And just creepy stuff.  Turns out he's a really bad employee too.  We work with invoices and payments.  When there was a mistake on his end.  He would just make up the difference and enter it in the system as an amount that our company had paid.  He sucks.

We have a guy like that here, too.  He doesn't work in my area, so that's a good thing.  Last time we had dress up day, I walked by him and said good morning and he looked me up and down and "Thank you for that."

Are these guys really creepy? Or just being nice. I always have that scared feeling if I tell someone they look nice they will slap a harrasment suit against me so I don't make comments. But then I have the co-workers that say "Aren't you going to say anything about my _____?"


What is the safe way to comment? You FFR experts.


By the way you all look nice today...

Sparky,


If you dont intend it that way then it won't come off that way.  Just the fact that you are conscious of being sexually harassing means that you won't be.


At first, I did appreciate this guys compliments but then when he insisted that I come visit him and he would put out his hand for me to touch.  And call me cute names.  Okay get it?  Thankfully I work in a different building now.


PS Isn't it metal ballad Tuesday??

It might. Unless, of course, it is your wife you are speaking to at that moment.

Hmm, you know what?  I do believe I am the weirdest one in my office.  Hopefully that speaks to the stability of the place, but I think it means I'm just weird.


Sparks, just be sure to keep your compliments somewhat general.  Do say, "That dress is very flattering."  Don't say, "Man!  That dress makes you look HOT!"

Since I work alone, I guess I am my own weirdo . . .



Ya'll don't have to be so quick to agree with me.

At my last job, Mr. Sexual Harassment Guy was my boss!  One time he told me I should wear a hat so he'd have something else to look at (I'm pretty well endowed, and that's what he was obviously referring to at the time).  We also had another girl who had been in a Girls Gone Wild video, so of course she just egged him on.  I am so glad I don't work there anymore!!!

Everyone that I work with is pretty normal. However I have a 'one upper' at my job. No matter what you say she has done it, had that illness or been there. However, her experiences are always better or worse than yours. Whatever it takes to steal the conversation away from you. I think I might start making up places I have been to or illnesses that I have had just to see her reactions. Anyone have any good fake places or illnesses?


 


Along the sexual harrassment lines, for the guys, no comment is always best. You just never know how someone might take something out of context!
