I can't think of any one really strange that I've worked with, so I was probably the strange one.

Oh Lawd!!! How much time do you have?

The last strange person I worked with was a couple of months ago. This person is constantly being moved from one office to the other because people can't deal with her. She's a legal secretary and refuses to do her duties. The first 45 minutes at her desk, every day, is spent scrubbing her desk with disenfectant. She also wipes down all the files that she deals with. She wears a mask and gloves when she goes out side.

I understand obsessive compulsions and the like but it really affects her work productivity and we're so busy!!!!!

She was moved to another office.

ya know, I understand for all intents and purposes, of not wanting to get down the road and have a flat tire, but cheese and rice, just because you look before you leave doesn't mean you won't run over something in the driveway ( nail, glass, etc..), it was just odd to me, might as well try and consult your physic and see how your whole day is gonna be before you even get out of bed in the mornings at that point..lol

Waaay, waaaay back. Worked with a fellow in the Print Ops room, who always signed his name 'Big John'...on account of, you know, his endowment. He was a large, broken fellow - glasses so strong that the whites of his eyes filled the entire lens; had one shoulder about 8 inches lower than the other, moved about with an awkward gait.

Then he found the lord. The Big John sig became a St. John sig, and the Print Ops room was filled with Christian Rock. Oh, how he rocked along. He would sit at a table, seemingly focused on his work, then you would notice his mouth moving along with the words...he would lower his head down, raise his arms and shake his open palms about, like he was really getting the spirit. He was not docked pay for this.

Anyways, I think he moved to Montana.

I'm the odd one out usually.

There was a dude in our art department who had a 'European' attitude about bathing. Let's just say he had a certain "air" about him.....

I've never worked with anyone normal!

Not so much "strange" but I once worked with a dude who had 11 kids between 8 different women! He was 37 years old at the time and his oldest was 24!

I'm probably the strangest one in my office. Other people have plants and stuff like that on the shelves over their desks. Me, I have Bill the Cat, three Star Trek ships, an AT-ST (Scout Walker), TIE Fighter, two Speederbikes with pilots, eight Stormtroopers, and Darth Vader.

One lady walked by while I was out and told another person in my department that I needed help...as in the psychiatric kind.

Donna and I were the strangest probably, we used to sneak into Rachels office when she wasn't looking and stick weird pictures on her wall. One photocopy of 2 nude ladies we made real pubes for out of our own hair (from our heads)

I like the way you didn't do it halfheartedly, no they must have real hair!!

jami0mckay said:

we laughed until we cried and I felt like throwing up.

another time we got a black wax pencil and wrote SATAN backwards on the photocopier glass. Rachel did some photocopying, like put a huge document in there and pressed 20 copies, and EVERY SINGLE PAGE HAD SATAN WRITTEN ON IT!!!! She screamed and Donna and I had to go out to the car park to calm down.

Prank of the year.

HobbesLeCute said:

we were lucky Rachel didn't dob us in and get us fired

ZombieKitten said:

But what a way to go, right? I usually get fired because I smell bad.

HobbesLeCute said:

that's crappy

HobbesLeCute said:

I SOOOOO want to do this at work.

My colleagues would probably say me. I'm not surprised.

God, where would I start? I have worked with all sorts. Maybe the alcoholic guy who was obsessed with Dr Who and used to get plastered on his lunch hour, then come back to the office and do his impersonation of a Dalek. His desk was plastered with pictures of Sophie Aldred.

No!!! The memories!!




It really was like that, with added 'We will destroy you and take over the world, etc etc etc'.

Working under Kim Jong-Il was an experience.
