My creativity when I lay awake in bed and only have 4 hours of sleep left.

Weirdest co-worker... We'll not to be judgy, but I think our industry is sort of home of the weirdos, but.. there's a few over-the-top weirdees we've had at work.

First one that comes to mind was a guy that walked liked Mr. Burns, hands behind the back & chest out. He microwaved the same thing every single day for breakfast - crackers, sausage and cheese. 😖This guy would get to his tasks very slowly, wouldn't talk to anyone on our team, and would go missing from his desk a lot, sometimes for extended periods (2+ hours). He really struggled to catch on to easy tasks. He quit after a few months, thank god.

Another weirdo we had was a girl who just couldn't dress to save her soul. She would wear these ugly ass sneakers that had neon colors reminiscent of bowling shoes (neon orange and green) and would wear turtlenecks and floor length skirts that all the colors just clashed. Her outfits were uglier than your great grandma's. Myself, her and 2 other girls dressed up as the Dr. Seuss things for Halloween, but did h1, h2, etc. tags instead and she put like rope from curtains in her hair with like 10 little pony tails. Just like wtf. She would play her gameboy at lunch and not talk to anyone much. She was really bad at our job, a lot of clients complained. She would literally read a book, braid her bangs or nap at her desk. Needless to say, she was fired.

Idea: be able to swipe rants to the right to mark them as read so they don't turn up again

client: can you add *these fearures*
me: sure
client: can we get it in 2 days
me: sure

*it's 2:22 am , not funished and should present the project tomorrow*
damn , always fall in the same mistake.
wish me luck

Just saying

I had a coworker who was quite socially awkward.

When one of our female coworkers got pregnant and began to show, he got up from his fresh, walked over to her in the middle of the office while she was trying to work and said "I love your stomach. Every time I see you I want to rub your belly." He then turned around and went right back to his desk and resumed working.

Many 'did that really just happen?' looks were exchanged.

When you write 178 line logic and it works the first try with no errors or bugs... :O

Worst possible coworker ever, narcisit beyond belief.... When something new arrived, sealed, he would open asap, break it (audibly and visibly) in front of everyone and proclaim it came in broken from the manufacturer.... He was absolutely incapable of reflection, logic or compassion in any way.

Can't wait to read a bunch of stories about myself on this weeks rant.

I used to work with a guy who had 2 PH.Ds, in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and over 600 patents but I kid you not the guy could not use the coffee machine. Now it's not like this coffee machine was as easy as a Keurig, it was some $20,000 espresso machine that took a while to figure out but I tried teaching him how to use it a few dozen times and still he couldn't get it right. It got to the point where I thought he was faking it so that others would make it for him so I offered him $500 if he could figure it out. Still nope. So for the remaining 2 years we worked together I made him coffee whenever he wanted, 2-4 times a day, and he bought me lunch everyday. Before I left the company I bought him a Keurig so that when I left he'd still have coffee.
