How to Tell if Your Co-worker is Nuts

Posted on: June 24, 2013

1) Your co-worker is a cat.  In a suit.  Suit-wearing cats can’t lick their own butts.  It drives them slowly insane.  Beware.

2) Your co-worker is a Zombie.  ‘Nuff said.

3) Your co-worker has certain problems with personal boundaries.  (Bathroom stalls are generally meant for one adult at a time, a declaration that you are leaving for the day is not an open invitation for your colleagues to come with you, and you shouldn’t have to share your gym clothes if you don’t want to).

4) Your co-worker has brought his/her mom to work to explain his/her mental issues.

5) Your co-worker calls you at home to talk about his/her personal issues, usually in regards to how lonely he/she is (“Mr Meowy McPants didn’t say hi to me today!!!”), and spends at least half an hour crying.

6) Your co-worker calls you at home at midnight to talk about his/her personal issues.

7) Your co-worker tells you “You’re sooo pretty!” and insists on daily 5-minute hugs.  With or without your voluntary participation.

8) Your co-worker leaves you and your other colleagues brochures for a device that allows a woman to pee standing up, along with a sticky note of personal tips for use.

9) Your co-worker has ammunition delivered to the office.

10) Your co-worker wears clothing stained with blood (Refer to #2)

11) Your co-worker eats lithium for lunch.  And it does NOTHING.
