re: What's the strangest behavior in your office? UPDATED WITH TOP LIST

Had a guy eat food out of a trash can that had been in there all weekend. Same guy would come in 4 hours early to work OT and he'd come to work an hour before that and just sit in his car before his 12 hour shift started.

One guy would tie heavy objects together and use them as weights to work out throughout the day.

One guy would wear his shirt inside out so he "wouldn't get the outside dirty".

This whole thread is freaking me out, tbh.

Here, too.

If I had to work in an office, I'd be arrested or committed by the end of the week.

We have a fricking runner. The dude is a total spastic. He acts the most routine of office taskspace requires the intensity of the Normandy invasion.

Had a guy that would have what we all called "the 15 minute sandwich" for lunch daily. Dude would bust out all the ingredients and then assemble them like he was defusing a bomb.

On a side note who the frick are people talking to a 2 AM?

Supervised this Indian guy for awhile. He would verbally tell me yes, but shake his head no and vice versa, verbally telling me no but shaking his head yes.

Maybe a cultural thing, I dunno? Gave me a fricking headache.

ETA: While this is an infrequent occurrence, some frick heads on this floor think it's acceptable to take the stall immediately next to me when I'm taking a shite. There's 5 stalls in the bathroom, I'll be the only one in there in the far stall and some dickhead will bust through the door and sprint past the 3 open stalls that are not immediately next to me and then proceed to absolutely punish the toilet next to me.

If this is a frequent occurrence at work, you are taking way too long in the bathroom.

I love a good long dump, but only at home or in private. Not in a 4-5 stall public environment.

At a past job we had one girl we found out was not entering purchase orders. When she was let go we found PO's hidden everywhere in her cubicle and trash can. At the same job another girl was fired and she wrote a five page manifesto to the president and said she hoped he came to her funeral.

Got another one regarding old food. We have cookouts at work and one coworker will eat leftover grilled meats that have been in the fridge for several weeks.

I do this almost every day for lunch. I don't spend time at home prepping lunch when I would rather do other stuff. Plus, I don't have soggy bread because mustard and mayo has been soaking through it all night. This is just efficient.

Eta: It doesn't take me 15 minutes though.

They are using toilet paper just flushing it in a different toilet so everyone gets an unobstructed view of their unflushed masterpiece

Well let's see. There are two women that take off their shoes as soon as they get to the office and walk around all day in their socks or hose. For some reason this drives me crazy.

Then there are the stompers. All three are women and they always walk like they're escaping a fire. It's gotten to the point where I can tell which one is clomping by just by their gait.

The worst is clippy/speakerphone. The young guy in the cube next to mine used to clip his nails everyday at work. It didn't bother me so much but it drove my boss nuts. Finally one day I just went up to him and told him to knock it off because it grossed a lot of people out.

This same kid used to take. Every. Single. Call. on speakerphone. This drove me absolutely batshit crazy!

Oh, and he also makes this weird "pheeew" sound when he smokes. Every single time he exhales. "Pheeew" "Pheeew"
