I'm always the weird one. It usually takes my co-workers a few months to really get used to me. [Edited 8/15/07 1:05am] ~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~

It makes for a lot of awkward silences starting out and I can kinda tell it makes people uncomfortable. After awhile the situation always remedies itself and people start to enjoy me, but even then my sense of humor and personality are comparatively quite strange. ~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~

I see what u mean, it often takes ages (sometimes never) for people to get my dry sense of humour | |

co-sign.
I too am almost impossibly humourous and generally awesome and co-workers are generally just not intelligent enough to recognise this initially. ![]() | |

I'm at the point where I have all the right ideas in my head, but sometimes I just can't force myself to apply them. Hopefully I'll get "there" someday, but at the very least it's less of a problem than it used to be. ~ I'D BUY THAT FOR A DOLLAR ~

I once worked with a guy who only talked in whispers, usually about gold and caves and stuff, at the end of the week he used to post all the work he hadn't done, to himself in the internal mail so it looked like he'd finished everything.
don't know what happened to him, probably got promoted [Edited 8/15/07 2:21am] | |

Me, to be honest. I'm a total freak. At most jobs. In this one, I'm normal - everyone's a programmer so the geekness is in overdrive and leather trenchcoats are EVERYWHERE. | |

I can't give you a reason why but a friend of mine I work with thinks another woman that works there is a secret psycho, I presume from the way she talks and just that look in her eye. My friend says she wouldn't be surprized if we came to work one day and were told she'd killed her whole family with an axe! ![]() JaneyPoos used to be it... then they changed what it was. Now what I am isn't it and what is it is strange and frightening to me...

throughout my life I have worked with really different people, but this one fellow always cracked me up, we worked in a factory making gas fireplaces, and every ( and I mean every)morning after he got to work and every afternoon when it was time to go home, this fellow would get out of his car, walk around it, check all the doors and tires, I don't know why, it just seemed soooo strange to me! ![]() Because of God..we 2 r 1~~Darren & Suzyn forever

[Edited 8/15/07 1:05am] wait a minute...u don't collect porcelain dolls and bring them into work to put on your desk do you??? ![]() Ahhhhh!!!!! There used to be a lady that worked in our office, that collected beanie freakin babies!!!! She had them all over her desk, bookshelves, etc. I do not mean a few random here and there. I mean hundreds and hundreds, until management told her she had to place them as to not be in full view of our clients. It is a law office. Very conservative looking. They bought her a special shelf that faced away from full view and told her she could only display on that one shelf. ![]() | |

Where oh where is thirdandfinal on this question????
We used to work with some serious freaks. I will start with mentioning the one guy who would show up five hours before his shift having ridden a couple of miles on his bike just to "check in" and then he'd leave. When he did show up, he was not only a creepy old man, but a close talker. He once told me I had "beautiful beesting lips"...I had to scrub with lye and a wire brush... Thirdandfinal could explain these freaks better. | |

I worked in a call centre once with a full on tranvestite called "Doris Swallows". I'm not joking. He got sacked for turning up drunk one day and urinating in the office car park. | |

A couple of years ago, I worked with a woman who showed up to work a couple of times with a box of wine and she would just drink the whole thing by herself . . . she was fired ![]() | |

At one job, there was this guy in shipping who picked his scabs and ate them. One day I watched in horror as he got a cup of water from the water fountain, used it to wash each of his eyes, and then proceeded to drink it after he was done. ![]() | |
