Wacky Co-Worker Habits?

weekendWarrior asks: "Every office has 'that guy.' The one that performs some bizarre or nonsensical action almost daily. The guy with an almost love-affair for the company's standard issue red stapler. The guy who prints out every email he receives (even the spam - thank god he's not on some pr0nographic spammer list). What strange, bizarre, and wacky habits do your co-workers have?"

Everyone reading your post is that guy.

There's nothing particularlly unique about you -- every post-dotcom office has at least one "Computer Nerd With Toys On His Desk". Dime-a-dozen nowdays.

We had a guy like you who got "laid-off". It was funny watching put all that shit in a box with a security guard hovering over him. He kept saying things to himself like "Oh my Pokemon poster", as if that entitled him to a job or something. Pretty pathetic.

you sound like an obnoxious attention whore

"look at me! look everybody! lookie! i'm sooooooo weird!" Did it ever occur to you that maybe people want to just be able to do their stupid job in peace so they can get it done and go home?

Guys at tech jobs that think that they are weird are usually the biggest squares in the whole company. Typically they "act out" at work because it's the only place where they have an audience.

Most of us grow out of "freaking out the normal people" by age 19 or so.

I hunt and peck without looking on a flat keyboard at 110-130 WPM..

Most of my friends can do the same.

It's not hard as long as you can remember what keys your random fingers are resting on.
