No filter guy - I actually liked his style. He said everything we wanted to say, but somehow never got fired. His immediate manager was considered to be kind of an idiot, and he had no problem telling her how incredibly stupid her ideas were all the time. Even in the middle of team meetings, the guy would just blurt it out in front of everyone. Can't believe he wasn't fired.

Drug dealer - We had a guy at my old company 5-6 years ago get busted for buying and/or selling illegal drugs on the internet and having them shipped to/from his apartment via FedEx. Wasn't difficult for the cops to find him. They actually put him on leave until his conviction, then they fired him. He was an Alabama grad I think...or at least he had Alabama gear all the time.

Always sick - This was actually my manager before he got demoted. It would always happen on days with nice weather. He'd call into from his house and sometimes you could actually hear the wind from his phone. We all knew he was a big golfer.

We have inmates that do our janitorial services. One day our boss (female) had to send out an email to all the other females that no one should be taping up money in the women's bathroom for the inmates.

Not office but one of the plant workers at a factory took a shite in the floor and covered it up with toilet paper.

Then a few months later he smeared his shite on the wall.

Then a few months after that the supervisors found a flower drawn with a sharpie on the bathroom wall and the leaves and petals were colored in with...you guessed it, his feces.

Took awhile before they figured out who was doing it and he was fired.

Apparently his wife had been unjustly fired and this was his revenge

long time no see


I have an office. Typically, my door is closed or barely cracked and I'm toward the end of my hall, near windows and some table/chairs that sometimes folks take calls at but nothing too interesting. I'm far away from the bullpen on our floor.

However, on Fridays I'm almost always early to work (7:00 instead of 7:30ish). This particular Friday was after St Patty's day so I'm barely making it to work before I have to hit the stalls. Well I get in there and there's a nude guy that looks homeless AF and he's washing his clothes in the fricking sink. He's got shite hanging up all over the bathroom. He pokes his head up from one of the stalls where he was standing on the commode and just stared in disbelief at me. I'm stunned at what I'm seeing but I have to shite still. So I proceed into the very furthest stall from the sinks and the guy is talking to me the whole time about his bad situation and if I had some quarters so he can finish his laundry. I remained silent.

I pop open the door and he was standing, waiting for me bare arse naked and asked me if I had a shave. I b-lined to the door.

Anyway, I left the bathroom and went into my office and called our building's security line. Turns out this dude was living across the street in the woods and figured that around 5:25 or so everyone was gone but the doors to our suite don't require badge access until 5:30. He was just hiding out until everyone left, then just holing up in the bathroom until 7:30 or so before he made his way back into the woods.

Not strange but infuriating. A co worker today spent all day looking and typing on his phone. I reminded him several times that we were on a deadline and were behind. He would just grunt and not even look up from his phone

On a related note, I once did this in a train bathroom in Europe. All of the sudden someone starts banging on the door very loudly. It's the fricking French police. We had crossed into France, and they were checking passports. I'm pretty sure my face turned white as snow. I thought, "I can't believe I'm about to get arrested in France for rubbing one out on a train."

We have a person who reuses paper towels and hides them in the cabinets in wads. Like uses them over and over again until they are barely held together by their paper towel fibers or whatever you call them.

Hell, this is right up my ally. I was a sales manager that hired/fired 3-5 people a month. I had a LOT of freaks.

Had a lady from NY that would crawl under her desk and speak with a southern drawl. After the call, she'd climb out, notate the file, dial the next number, then crawl back under.

Had another lady that was a whisperer. I would monitor her calls and the client, nor myself, could understand her. I actually cut into one of her calls and made the sale myself because I so damn aggravated with her.

My awesome hr dept hired a stutterer...for a phone job. It was brutal, he didn't have a chance in hell.

Had a midget that truly believed he was the green lantern. As in, when he would get stoked up for a call, he'd put the ring on. He also won a visit to the brothel in Las Vegas from Rod Ryan and 106.7 The End.

Had a guy who sounded like Ric Flair with the WOOOO whenever he made a sale. It would scare the shite out of his cubicle mates.

Had a female that would get completely decked out. Dressed very nice, makeup, front of her hair was beautiful....but the back of her head looked like a rats nest. She was an ex-saintsation.

I don't go in to the office too often, and even more rarely use the office shitter, but invariably somebody has left a deuce without flushing and didn't use toilet paper

We had someone that would pick their nose and smear their buggers on the wall above the urinal. We called that area the "Bugger wall." It ended after a guy no one suspected of doing it, left. We all assumed it was another guy.

A few guys didn't wash their hands after they went to the bathroom. One of them took a Styrofoam plate with bacon and eggs wrapped in cellophane into the stall and sat it on the floor while pinching a loaf. I saw it on the floor from the urinal next to his stall. While I'm standing there he flushes and then gets up with breakfast in hand and walks out the door. The same guy left his coffee mug on top of the urinal one day.

A hoarder is on my floor. She saves everything, including food. If I want to know what the office cake for Bob's birthday two years ago looked like, all I have to do is check the hoarder's office because she probably saved a slice.
