Strangest person you have worked/work with?

Yeahhhhh that’s a level of weird that no one wants.

We had a genuine schizophrenic guy in our office. He wouldn't take his meds and would occasionally have a "fit."

Once I came upon him throwing mason jars against the brick wall of his office. It was Christmas time and he and his wife had put together a powdered tea mix that he thought everyone would enjoy. He went on to thoroughly trash his own office.

I asked him what was wrong and he said that no one deserved his gift. He was upset with someone apparently. I reported the incident to HR and they investigated but he was only ordered to treatment. Seems our medical director had a son who was also schizophrenic and so he was very sympathetic.

That was his worst outburst and he never had another severe episode, thank goodness. Apparently he stuck to his medicine regimen after that, mostly.

I'll confess now, years later, that I very secretly packed heat at work after that. I would probably have been fired if discovered but I would much prefer being shown out the door than carried out the door. I considered the man to be dangerous.

I worked at a marina under a supervisor who frequently huffed computer duster and ate his boogers

We know it was My Little Pony porn because he openly talked about being a brony like it was normal, and would walk up to people with his phone saying "hey watch this" like he was going to show a funny video, but instead it would be cartoon My Little Pony porn..

Welp, that pretty well beats any of my weird coworker stories.

I once had a manager at a store I worked at briefly down in Destin who was the ultimate butterface. She made the Wicked Witch of the West look like Audrey Hepburn in the face. Below the neck, however, she had the single nicest body I had ever seen up till that point and its still in my personal top three.

It turns out she used to be a body model (for obvious reasons) and one day while we are working she told me why gave that up. I still remember it to this day. "I was sitting in bed and I just told myself, Lucinda... God don't want you showing your titties. God didn't put you here to do that."

She said it like it was a big awakening for her, a major spiritual moment. Meanwhile I'm chewing on my tongue to keep from laughing my fool head off.

I work in IT, so there tend to be a lot of strange characters. One guy in particular was a programmer. He was in his early twenties and still lived with his parents and sister and pretty much supported them. He would always come into other guys' offices and start talking about random boring stuff and would just keep on and on, even follow you around if you tried to leave the room. Another younger guy used to piss me off by bringing him into my office and getting him started talking about something and then go back to his office.

I have been know to do this before with someone like that.

The first job I ever had there was this guy who I thought was gonna be a school shooter. He had such evil looking eyes/expression that he creeped everyone out.
