    Really WEIRD things coworkers do

    It's not sucky so it doesn't belong in cursing out coworkers so I thought I'd try here.

    Yeterday one of my coworkers attempted to put herself in a cardboard box.

    This coworker got pet rabbits a couple of months back, and has been somewhat obsessed ever since. Other than the rabbits she's quite a serious woman, with 20+ years working here. I have been ordering some stuff online and getting it delivered to my work. She eyes up any cardboard boxes for the rabbits (I think she uses cardboard to insulate the back of the hutches). So this week I had 2 packages delivered and we had the following conversation :

    Me : I left the smaller box downstairs for you to take, but I think this one is too big
    Her : Yeah, that one's so big I could fit in it
    Me : , well not really. It's big but not big enough for a person.
    Her : No ! I could fit in it.

    She couldn't.

    She got in this box, and it split along all the sides. I told her I wasn't sure whether I more wished I had my camera or some packing tape.

    So, what surreal (non-sucky) things do other peoples coworkers do ?

    My coworker and I were [innocently] flirting while cleaning up the luggage, and she bet me she could fit into one. I have pics to prove that she can

      Not sure if this counts as "weird", but since it doesn't make sense that someone would do this.......

      When we hired "Jenny" to work as the church's nursery attendant on Sundays, she apparently gave out, as her contact info, a phone number which does NOT accept incoming calls. (I'm assuming it's a cell phone) So......unless she happens to call the church office, no one can get ahold of her.

        Old job, but at the warehouse we had a guy working with us that would disappear for hours at a time to take a nap. He'd pile a bunch of car belts and other "soft" things together in a corner and fall asleep.

          Put a TV box together and stuck it out on the floor to see if someone would take it. LP yelled at us.

          One punched a printer to fix it.

          Later he took apart these kiosks to shut them down and reboot them. Not supposed to.

            Your coworker may be as insane as mine but at least she has better spacial sense !

            (Seriously this box was about half the size you'd need for a person, I don't know what my coworker was thinking).

              I have an actual turban (about 12 feet of fabric) I' bought for costuming and because it's actually comfy and keeps your head and face warm. I brought it to work when I was security at a hotel to show one of the office girls. She bet me 5 dollars to wear it for an hour. In uniform. I did because I was back in the office at that time. But then we had a group for a late check-in...

                Odd things all of us did to initiate n00bs:
                • One person climbs into one of our display storage cabinets.
                • Everyone else convinces the n00b that he/she has to open every single display storage cabinet, because this one time somebody hid away in one, and the store was closed and that person got locked in.
                • N00b goes around opening up the storage cabinets.
                • When n00b opens up the correct one, the person inside jumps out and freaks the hell out of the n00b.

                  Hey, I've got a weird one. One of my field techs is a round-faced guy with thick, wiry black hair that covers most of his head. Seriously, if this guy tried to go clean-shaven, face or scalp, he'd never put the shaver down it grows that fast. Dude looks like a furry beach ball if he lets it go for a while. The weird part is that every weekend he tries on a new hairstyle and beard combo. You never know what you'll see come Monday morning.

                  Mr. T walked in one day. Worf pre-pony tail. Mountain man - he let his beard grow out for a month for that one - it was awe-inspiring. The only time I've ever a 'normal' haircut on him was this summer, the day he got married.

                    Maybe she thought she could be like a cat?
