    Text - [-] Bellamy1715 149 points 4 hours ago Had a class in community college with a guy who didn't own a car. Every week after class my friend and I would give him a ride home. Every time he would as us in, and we'd politely say no. One of my other friends, who works in a mental health facility found out about this and told us to NEVER EVER go into this guy's house. Said she couldn't say why because of patient confidentiality, but just don't.

    Text - [-] KushLordMansion 132 points 4 hours ago Co-Worker Worked with him for four years, no real conversations besides work talk. "Can you do this for me" And so on, all the way through 4 years. He's a pastor, but works here at a warehouse. First real conversation after 4 years was this, keep in mind we've sat next to each other for 6 hours at this point in a small office First personal question after 4 years was: "Have you ever seen 101 dalmatians" me: "Yeah I guess, when I was a kid" "Okay"

    Text - [] DefiniteOpulence 825 points 4 hours ago At my first professional job, I worked with a 28-year- old woman who might as well have been 10. Her parents picked her up and dropped her off, she had to have them constantly reassure her, and her mom handled most of her affairs for her. I honestly never really understood why the office tolerated her incredible childish nature. The top two moments for me: 1. She got really emotional because a baby bird fell out of a tree outside. Her mom had to

    Text - [-] Rigelian417 627 points 6 hours ago Coworker talks to herself as well as inanimate objects, and responds to herself as if it's an actual conversation. I can tell what she ate for lunch based on what barnyard animal noises she's making when she returns from break. She gets on her hands and knees and barks like a dog at random. A simple paper cut would make you think she lost a limb by the screams. I'm the only person on staff who isn't terrified of her

    Text - [-] jessinyx 1437 points 6 hours ago A dude in high school. He wore a fedora, often wore duster (which was weird because it's really hot here except for maybe two months out of the year), his hair was always greasy, etc. You get the picture. Somehow or another, he got my phone number. He texted me to ask me out, I politely declined. An hour later he texted me a photo of his arm. He had carved my name into it. It wasn't deep or even particularly bloody, but it was there. I was 14 years old

    Text - [ Bcause789 173 points 5 hours ago* I had a coworker that knew every episode of the telletubbies by heart. He was like 30 years old. EDIT: A lot of you have been asking if he has kids. He doesn't, he's just really into telletubbies.

    Text - [ TremontRhino 465 points 6 hours ago She's sitting behind me now. 65 years old. Never married. No kids. No cats. Just church. Literally goes to church. Every. Single. Day. Has no other interests or hobbies. Misogynist. Super right wing. Doesn't understand any modern idiom or pop culture reference. I've been forced to share an office with her for 7 years.

    Text - [-] RoadWarrior4073 979 points 5 hours ago Margo, my 50 year old coworker, she made my life miserable for almost 2 years, everything started when i was 18. We were talking and i told her that i was in a band, so she told me that musicians were a bunch of thieves who only wanted people money and that "playing that guitar" was nonsense and a scam, so i told her that she was being plain rude and ignorant, so she decided to spend the following 2 years making my life hell. She tried to get me

    Text - [] meta_uprising 442 points 6 hours ago In college there was a strange quiet guy. He seemed to be a bit of a loner an really liked sitting next to me. Thought he was kind of odd. One day in the middle of class out of now where he looks at me and says I love you. I acted like I didn't hear it. He just stared. He stopped going to class shortly after.

    Text - [- heylooknewpillows 402 points 6 hours ago Office job Had to teach him his job again every day. EVERY. DAY. 6 weeks he was with us (contractor/staff aug) Had a pentagram on his chin he covered (poorly) with makeup on a daily basis. Awkward, but nice enough, honestly. Someone else I worked with googled his name years later and found him on a mugshot website on the other side of the country. Huh.

    Text - [-] RoastyTheToastyGhost 364 points 4 hours ago In my university there's a guy who told us how he was conceived in his personal introduction. When the the class was asked why they used Snapchat he was like "for my...personal life." He has really crazy hair, a mustache, wears aviator glasses, and always carries around a hiking backpack. He's like a real life cartoon, and he's really fun to be around. I saw him freshly shaved and without his glasses once, he's secretly attractive. Edit: In

    Text - - DetachablePriebus 604 points 5 hours ago Todd. He stood about 5'6", or 5'9" if you measured to the top of his mullet. Laughed like a donkey. Was physically incapable of talking quietly. I honestly liked the guy, but he *could not* keep his cool around attractive women. At least once every shift we would hear this high-pitched "ohymygod!!" from the other side of the store (that was the sound of Todd noticing a woman) followed by the supervisor aggressively tracking him down to contain th

    Text - [ mike_d85 547 points 6 hours ago In college I had a classmate that appeared to be a moron. If you had a class with him he would literally interrupt the teacher after every statement to repeat what they just said in the form ofa question. For example: Prof: So if the formula 2X=12, divide 12 by 2 to give you the solution, 6. This is- Student: So in this example I divide 12 by 2 to get the answer? Drove everyone up the wall. I watched professors chew him out, assign tutors, and one straigh

    Text - Zealousideal Income 180 points 5 hours ago We had a position in our company that was always difficult to fill. The only candidate with any promise was this 24 year old woman who had no job experience prior to 22. I thought this was weird since I had been working since I was 14 years old. The job was primarily customer service and upon interviewing her we determined she was the best candidate because she was so personable. Within the first couple of months I learned that she was from Oklah
