    I have the craziest coworkers. I mean really, they are nice people, but I don't know where the company finds them sometimes! I hear the craziest things from them and about them and I keep thinking to myself that I should write a book about it! I'm not sure if anyone would really believe me but I get put in these situations where I just don't even know what to say sometimes!

    Example #1: One time I told one of my employees that he needed to tuck in his shirt. So right in front of our customers, he unzips his pants, pulls them down, and tucks in his shirt.

    Example #2: This morning, one of my employees tells me that she sleeps on the floor so she can feel the micro-earthquakes and know when the big one is coming.

    Does anyone else have any crazy coworkers??

    Oh my goodness that is too hysterical!! I used to work with a lady who would spend an hour a day telling me how in her past life she was an Indian princess.  She would then follow up her past life regression with session of sobbing, then all of a sudden snap into happy mode and tell me about her and her boyfriend's private lives.  None of my conversations with her were initiated by me for obvious reasons!  It definitely made the work day...um...interesting

    Sheesh, where do you work lady! Knock on wood, no such kookiness at my place yet. 

    At my last job I did have kind of a crazy coworker, but really, she was just nasty, which is a bit different and a lot less fun. The first week I was there, I absolutely kid you not, she emailed my boss to tell him I hadn't been showing up! I had to scramble in with my records to prove I had. The kicker was that she had not in fact seen me - because SHE wasn't there for the bulk of the day!

    Oh wow, that's nuts!  I do have some odd co-workers, I think everyone does, but that's pretty bad! 

    Yesterday, one of the mail room guys came up to me and said, "do you like my tux?"  That wouldn't be weird BUT, he only showed me the garment bad that it was in.  So I was like, "Uh, I'm sure its really nice!".  I was like wth??

    And now I have a co-worker who is playing the RENT soundtrack, actually about 3 songs from it, ALL DAY/EVERYDAY, I'm gonna lose it!

    OMG I work with a bunch of psychos. There's one woman who is obsessed with Second Life (virtual reality life) and has one avatar where she is a cat and pays extra money to have "realistic fur" and she has a BF on Second life who is also a cat and they groom each other. They both also have human avatars and were invited to a "vampire party" by a "king" and "queen" where the king and queen like the guests to dress up as vamps for the party and her BF didn't want to and they got in a fight about it. Also, her human avatar went shopping and she got upset because pants didn't fit her in Second Life and that's what happens to her in real life. What is the most disturbing about the situation is not so much that she does these things, but that she finds it totally acceptable to tell people she does them.

    Oh, there's another girl who likes to talk about all her medical issues - i.e her yeast infections and other gross stuff that you should not be telling people you don't know. She also is one of those girls who has every single detail of her wedding picked out AND a gift registry and has never had a real boyfriend.

    mine just share too much personal information.  like the coworker who spends too much, or the one talking about how her medical problems, or insurance fraud, or other things.  Or the lady who emails me and tells me about her mother's bowel obstruction. I don't initiate any personal conversations with coworkers (except a select few) for this reason - i don't people coming to me with this nonsense!  Oh, how about the lady that detailed how she broke her dentures and with the thickest southern drawl kept calling to talk to me on the phone w/out her teeth. i wanted to gag.

    Hahaha!

    My sister and I have a running e-mail correspondence where we just e-mail the random things we hear our co-workers say.  She wants to write a book.

    I'm totally writing a book about this place. It's so beyond wack here. It's to the point where my friends don't believe my work stories anymore.

    I once had an employee who used that black spray-on hair stuff and every day he'd come into work and it would be running down his neck and we'd have to tell him to go clean up.

    Another guy snuck out of work when he wasn't supposed to, to go get McDonald's and he ended up getting into an accident, tried to run, and then was arrested by the cops.

    Another we found to be wondering around outside when he was supposed to be working to hunt birds with his pocket knife.

    hahah too funny!  I dont have any craziers here where I work now.  But afte rcollege I was a DM for a popular retailer.  One of my stores had an overnight team, and that team usuall consisted of all sorts of poeple.  One woman's name was Joyce, and everoyne calle her Crazy Joyce.  I walked in one late night and heard screaming...Joyce was in the corners, having a back and forth conversation with one of the surfboards.  Apparently the got into an argument because Joyce started SCREEEEEAMING at this surfboard, waving her arms around like a lunatic.  It was hilarious..kinda sad too, pretty sure she had some mental issues.

    Like @kittyachi and @melissabegins, I have an oversharer right next to me! We're "buddies," I guess, we go to lunch sometimes, but she's a medical issue oversharer from way back. And it's not just with me, her "buddy," it's with everyone who comes into her office! (She's a secretary for several professors in the department.) Since the beginning of the year she'd been TTC, and every detail of her trying, miscarrying, trying again, and finally succeeding has been common knowledge. I was privy to her every cycle. Now she makes me feel her belly when the baby kicks. Awk-ward!

    I have a coworker who burps on the phone with clients. How he gets away with it, or still has his job, I'll never know.

    @ kittyachi: OK the Second Life story made me laugh so hard that I snorted....twice! I am not even joking! LOLOL Hopefully, noone in my office is on WB, or they'll be posting about their coworker who snorts when she laughs.

    Hahaha! I WISH I had drama like that in my office...it would give me something to do! (besides spend countless hours surfing WeddingBee!) I work in a 1-man (woman!) office. I have alot of customer drama, but other than that - It's just me, by myself, and my computer!

    Hahaha, I love the micro earthquakes thing. But eek to the guy who unbuckled his pants! What did you do? 

    I work at a nursing home, and we always have the oddest employees. One girl sued FI's parents (they own the place) because she fell in the parking lot (this was two years ago) and last week she started crying on FMIL's shoulder about how she didn't have the settlement money to live off of anymore, and how was she supposed to live? 

    Also, there was a girl that stole one of two coffee cakes that was supposed to go out for lunch dessert, along with two loaves of bread. She hid them in her car and pretended that she didn't drive to work - except it's a really small place, and everyone knew exactly where her car was. She got fired.

    Part of my job involves working in cubicles with headsets in a reservation center...we have about 15 stations in three small aisles and there is one person at work that NO ONE wants to sit next to because he is just so LOUD!  He laughs realllly loudly and makes crazy jokes, to the point that we wonder just who he is talking to, since we cannot really find anything that hillarious about making a dining or show reservation, lol.
