I worked with someone who wanted all the staff to have a group hug at the start and end of the day :pac:

I know the feeling. My suggestion of a group circle jerk to destress before we leave the office was shot down before I got the chance to explain the benefits. Their loss.

that was extremely weird! But why would she cry over that? I hate drama queens who cry like that for attention

She was a young one who was very shy and the reaction from everyone was a mix of laughter and disgust and she hated the attention I guess.

Worked with a mature student named Paul doing a work placement (man in his late 40s). Christmas time was coming around and a secret santa was organised in the office with a €5 limit.
The guy came to me saying he was stressed not knowing what to get for the girl he was allocated so I said just get some novelty thing like a pair or socks or something like that. By saying that, I assumed he knew I meant a pair of novelty Christmas socks. But no,
The fukkin freak handed the girl a wrapped pair of HIS OWN WORN SOCKS! The girl was freaked out and didn't know what to say and actually started crying. No one talked much to Paul after that.

Was this in galway by any chance?

I worked with a guy who you could happily chat to but he was content enough to keep himself to himself. Nice guy, funny guy, but you sort of knew he was a bit of an 'individual'.
Anyway he'd work for months and save pretty hard. When he had a good few pound he'd take a week off and book a 5 star hotel for the week. He'd eat at the best restaurants in the city, get a turkish shave every day, travel around in limos... Live like an absolute king for a week, all on his own. All in the same city he lived in. Wouldn't even travel anywhere else.
When the week ended he was basically broke and he'd be back to the building site and he'd start saving again. Gas man.

Is this really weird? I'm thinkin this would be kinda cool

Sounds a little like a Paul I know. Lovely lad who can come out with some ridiculous stuff and reading the post he sprang to mind.

Remember Alf the alien thing from the. 80's?

I was on a football team (as a kid) and one of the lads was nuts! He used to think he was Alf. Frequently during matches, if he saw a cat, he would start shouting and chasing them, with the intent to eat it! Just running off the pitch like!

Anyway, I worked with him briefly 15 years ago, he was caught at lunch out the back behind some containers, holding a cat down and eh, pulling the cock off himself.

Weirdo!

Used to work with an uber posh bloke who was asexual not interested in either sex it seems, either that or closet gay, and had horrific dress sense complete and utter weirdo.

josip · 14-04-2014 10:35PM

One guy I used to work with genuinely believed he was a horse.

I edited my post the guy was Asexual I meant to say if you don't know what it means Google it.

fascinating - was he asexual because of religous beliefs?

also how can you possibly "engage in sexual activity despite lacking a desire for sex or sexual attraction" - surely impossible - no?

If it really was secret, he'd have gotten away with it.

I worked with a guy who was a nice enough bloke but he just didn't seem to have any sense of propriety whatsoever. A lot of times he got into trouble for saying stuff that was ridiculously inappropriate but he genuinely didn't see what was wrong with what he said. We all got used to him but it was always funny when someone new joined the team because they didn't know how to take him.

In about October one year we got a new manager. She was a bit of a 'ball breaker' always came in dressed in power suits and stilettos and stuff, basically didn't take any shít from anyone and definitely wasn't someone who was up for a laugh at all. Come december we arranged the kris kindle, €10 limit and the way we did it was that we'd have a sack in the corner of the office with everyone's name on a label, so when you came in with your present, you stuck the person's name on it and dumped it in the sack, then on the day we broke up for xmas we'd have a few drinks and give out the pressies.

There we were anyway, everyone having a drink and a laugh, giving out the presents and having the craic when people opened them. Last present in the sack was for the manager and she opened it, stared at it for a second with a face like a bucket of smashed crabs, then picked up her gucci bag and stormed out of the pub. The girl who'd been sitting next to her picked up the present from where the manager had dropped it on the floor and it was a pair of red lacy crotchless knickers and a tube of KY jelly. Guess who'd gotten the manager in the kris kindle??

I work with this odd ball that walks around the office all day in just his boxers,and comes and goes when he wants. Has even been known to skive off work to play golf or whatever.

I work from home.

I think the company had some agreement with a special needs place to give people experience in jobs,their was also this fat Egyptian fella 'mustafa' who'd go into a blind rage if you asked to borrow his sellotape gun,many a time I walked around the corner and mustafa would be giving it socks dancing to the radio with his arms and the sellotape gun in the air once he seen me he'd be all freaked and go back to work.

I once worked with a guy who wasn't that weird. But he would always walk around the office(and cafeteria etc.) in his socks. Which was grand, except when he would walk into the toilets like that. Any men here using public toilets know how there is always some sort of drippage on the floor

A little flake of a Viagra fixes that problem.

scottish woman in new zealand fifteen years ago

she used to tell me on a regular basis that she would p1ss herself laughing if i got my head kicked in by cows

i was working on a dairy farm and the work involved lowering my head to put milking machines on cows each day

she once rammed my quad bike with her quad bike , this was in a thirty acre field

it was the summer of 1998 when omagh was bombed , when i asked her that morn if she had heard about it , she replied

" that doesnt effect us milking cows over here "

never met anyone who came to the level of strangeness since

Worked with a girl in a factory who was the welcoming Matt as they say,would always find a way out of doing a job usual excuse was that the person telling her to do something was bullying her! Unreal,the things she would do to get out of having to work.constantly talking to the union rep,faking injury,walking around the factory,limping to get timeoff,would break the work area to get off a certain job,constantly on the dodge,if anyone said anything about her behaviour "they"were reported!unbelievable!

Weirdest person you've ever worked with?
