She Sounds Like A Dream

AtlantaFieldClowns 6.2k points 路 21 hours ago Worked with a girl who would sometimes just lay in the floor and play on her phone. She would routinely flip out about something her boy friend did and just start screaming curse words, sometimes in front of customers. She was eventually fired for smoking weed while on the clock.

"Old-Fashioned" Is A Nice Way Of Calling Someone Crazy

rosatenena 447 points 路 21 hours ago I have a coworker who's very old-fashioned and strongly believes that males and females cannot be friends. Well, it just so happens that my manager and I, a male and a female, happen to get along quite well because of our similar ages and interests. She reported me to the other managers for it and accused me of sleeping with him.

Please Shut Up About The Keto Diet

Interesting Excuse We Have Here

hickoryswitch30-30 545 points 路 22 hours ago I worked in a restaurant with a guy who claimed to have PTSD from tripping to hard on Isd. It was a busy place around 4 to 5 hundred plates a night with only 5 chefs. Every time his station got more than like ten simultaneous tickets he would run out the back. Leaving me and the guy on the other side of him to do his job. Also his "ptsd" was never medically confirmed, and we believed he just made it up.

A Very Interesting Way To Never Make Friends

nooneuknow42 57 points 路 21 hours ago My current co-worker. He loves to watch my work. Track my tickets, wants in on all my meetings not to be helpful but to insert himself into everything I do. If I don't jump on something in 1 minute he will ask if I missed the email or the ticket or the request. Then He plays 20 questions with me like I report to him or something.

Hello Harassment

sarajanie 39 points 路 20 hours ago I had a coworker who would watch me work. Our desks were sort of offset but we had our backs to each other. She would turn around in her chair and just watch me. I would only realize it was happening when she would comment on something on my screen so it wasn't even like she tried to hide it. I did my best to ignore it but drew the line when she put a mirror on her desk positioned just right so she could see both of my monitors without having to turn around.

You Should Have Thrown Her Out Instead

litkat16 17.5k points 路 22 hours ago I had a manager once who dumped trash on my desk my third day there. She said it was to remind me that taking out the trash was part of my job description (it wasn't, I was a research assistant at a mortgage firm)

Just Hire A Computer Then

mutantandproud95 4.3k points 路 23 hours ago Not necessarily a "co-worker" but my old supervisor literally told me not to think, even if it's wrong that I do things her way, and not to ask questions because I should already know what to do. I had just gotten the position

Love When HR Is Helpful

miken322 895 points 路 22 hours ago The HR manager at my last job had zero training, education or experience in HR. She was argumentative, passive aggressive and incompetent. Toward the end she asked me "Why are you being resistant" and "You're not being a team player." when I was advocating for client safety. I was the second person in less than a year to leave and hire an attorney.

Well, Did You Google Him And Find Out How Many People He Murdered?

fetedelamusique 1.4k points 路 22 hours ago I worked with a guy that regularly googled everyone we worked with. He knew information about the apartment we had just sold and told everyone at our department meeting how much we sold for.
