15+ Employees who had coworkers with bizarre personalities: 'By the time he was fired everyone in the office was being driven up the wall'

There's at least one dude who's just "like that" at every workplace, and everyone just goes along with their odd nature. It's that one guy who cooks carrots and broccoli at 10 AM, even though everyone detests the smell. Why? Oh, he's just like that. Maybe it's the woman who chronically overshares her life with every coworker and client she encounters. How come? Oh, you know, that's just how she is. There's really no excuse for why some people are the way they are… everyone else just shrugs their shoulders and gets accustomed to it. 

At the workplace, you more or less have to tolerate your fellow employees' habits if they aren't interfering with your work. So long as they aren't harming anyone, there's no reason that your coworker can't reheat fish in the microwave or wear the most insane outfits you can think of into the office each day. It's kind of at HR's discretion, and honestly, having at least one quirky, wacky person around can lighten the mood. When you're fretting over a project, at least you can ask your nearest coworker, "Hey, did you hear about what Jim did in the meeting yesterday?"

Check out a bunch of folks below who are close to losing it on their coworkers for their quirks and their strangest habits. Then, see if you agree with this mom who totally banned her 16-year-old daughter from going on spring break with her 17 and 18-year-old friends: "She's convinced the internet will be on her side."
