so on my two smoke breaks on the terasse at my office building today, where many different companies take their breaks, there were situations that made me go i was coming out on the terasse when this greek-looking guy in his forties, sitting with a group of random office-workers, started screaming at me: "one cigarette! one cigarette!". he was already smoking a cigarette so i asked "what do you mean?". he replied "one cigarette! one cigarette!", and i was like "what???".about this time the people sitting around him looked at me uncertain and got up and left. so i now understood that this had to be some sort of weirdo who had sneaked his way into the building and gone out on the terasse to smoke and randomly harass people. seconds later this big guy with a pony tail (think Furio) came out and escorted him away.on my next break, these three people were on their way inside when this normal looking guy in his mid-thirtees stopped one of them, a normal looking woman about the same age. the converstion went something like this:"Uhu, can i borrow you for a momenth?""me??""huhuhuhu (laugh that sounded excatly like Butt-Head), yeah.."*akward silence for about ten seconds""...huhuhu""ehh...""you see... huhuhu.. uh"*more akward silence""huhuhu.. i was wondering... uhu.. huhuhu..""eh.. yes"that maybe.. uhuhuhu... i could.. huhuhu.. escort you some time.. uhuhu""this is not really a good time""so you.. uhuhuhu.. are.. uhuhuhu""yes, in have another engagment""ok.. huhuhu.. uhu"and all along i was like: bring random weirdness at your office/office-building, share the goods.

    Todays my last day (starting a new job with higher pay and advancement oppertunities, not fired) and we're all reminiscing about all the crazy shit that has went down in the past years: A fistfight between my supervisor (60 year old Vietnam Vet who looks like a cross between an obese, balding Roy Head and Joe Don Baker) and a former customer service dispatcher (openly racist blonde woman weighing no more than 100#s and with meth face). The LAPD had to break up a fight between the owner and his son (co-owner). The police, a medic and immigration also had to come when one of the migrant steel workers across the alley got into a shouting match with his boss and gave him a cut on the face with a hand tool of some sort. I think it's safe to say that he'll be out of work for a long time.

    The other day at work I was asked by this hardcore evangelical christian type guy that bothers everyone all the time if he could get an evaluation of himself as a person from me. The day before he asked me if I had ever seen/heard the play Quest For Camelot and whether or not I agreed with a scene/song that was about a maiden who liked the fact that men were fighting over her or something to that effect. He told me he felt that it was morally wrong. Today I was told by him that he feels that The Rocky Horror Picture Show ruined cinema and created a sexual revolution and WOW---this guy is really crazy sometimes.

    This guy is always looking for pity. Whenever you walk by him he pretends he is all tired and yawns. Everyone at work always yawns to make fun of him and he still hasn't caught on to it. He thinks of himself as an intellectual. Everyone calls him the pseudo-intellectual. Too closed minded. He applied for a job in a different department but did not get the position. He told me that the hiring person said that he thought that the his personality wouldn't fit in with the other co-workers.

    He wonders why no one likes him. He is so negative all the time, about everything. Again, constantly looking for pity from others and just typically looking at everything in a negative manner. Not to mention he is always trying to do what he feels is "morally right" and christian and stating that as a fact. He makes more work for everyone and its not cool.

    He is 27 and tells me his life story all the time. He told me that his younger brother refuses to come home because he feels that his family is too negative all the time. I feel bad for the brother.

    It seems like there is someone like this at every job as cliche as that may sound. Someone crazy.

    When I worked for Ernst & Young here in Copenhagen this swedish woman started working there. She was very open and positive and started droppin by our office to see what's up. Once shortly after she started working there my co-worker asked her out of the blue if she ever took a "hiphop dance course" when she was young(!?) She said yes and busted out the runnin man on the spot with an indifferent look on her face. Talk about company spirit
