We all almost all have them *nods at owl* and like to poke fun at them but feel slightly guilty when we do so lets list them. I worked in a place in Glasgow with three stand out freaks, I'm not counting the guy who looked like jesus but went out with a dominatrix or the film extra who came into work in plaid one day because they were cool and they're my friends. What I'm talikng about are those with real deep-seated quirks.
We had one guy who took everything too seriously and was incredibly boastful but essentially useless in a work and personality sense, he was also a little overweight and loved the goonies so the inevitable 'truffle-shuffle' jibes were lightly thrown. He decided to come in to office with a goonies T-shirt one day and the resulting hilarity had him loging complaints about us to the man and solitary woman. He honestly didn't get what was funny. He also spills his drinks down himself after three drinks and is generally edged away from by his friends when he comes into the pub to tell them for the hundreth time that he had both legs broken by a car but still made it to T in the park to stand in the mud for three days. His mum also laughed hysterically for a good 30 seconds down the phone when he told her about his 'bad treatment' at work. He looked like meatloaf.
Here's a twist, I'll tell you what I'm like at work.
I do my best work either for myself or when I feel like it/have been threatened with the sack, I'm like a parrot on crack at times and I say odd things in an attempt to make the student laugh. Other times I don't talk much and stare into space drinking my tea. I spend vast swathes of my day surfing the internet or playing with things like bootable pendrives and novel windows deployment systems based on pendrives that I get bored with or focus on to the point of abstraction. I write batch files obsessively so I can automate mundane tasks which take as long to work out than the amount of time they'd save during the task. My desk is a mess and I'm generally grumpy.
