So there's this guy I work with, Rich. We're all fairly certain he's not right in the head. (don't get me wrong he is the coolest guy and I've come to the fairly startling realization that I may end up like him when i get to be his age. I think he's maybe 50 by the way) We think it might be a combination of obsessive/compulsive disorder and terets. Throughout the day you can hear and/or see Rich doing the following:
-staring at first his right shoe for 5 minutes while standing up and holding that foot off the ground tipping it to see the right side and then the left side, followed by the left shoe in the same manner.
-exclaiming "bork!", "boing!", "monkey!", "spambi!" (don't ask) or any other number of completely random shit.
-performing his bathroom routine, which includes first drying his hands on the air dryer, washing his hands, using a papertowel, then the air dryer followed by the actual act of urinating and then repeat steps 1-4. (all the guys at work have caught him doing this at one point or another. A friend of mine caught him using the hand dryer to dry his pants off one day
)
-walking to the fax machine, picking up faxes (that are his!) putting them back down, walking back to his desk and then repeating this act 4 or 5 times before actually taking the faxes back to his seat wtih him.
-saying, at least once during the day, "may we dance with your dates." in a really weird accent.
-talking on the phone to his mom, yes folks he lives at home, at least 3 or 4 times throughout the day.
There was one time a friend of mine asked him how he picked up girls and (completely straight faced, in that kidding way) he said "hey little girl want some candy?" we died!
These are just a few of his idiosyncrasies. But like I said before he's the coolest. If it weren't for him entertaining me all day long I would have lost my mind months ago.
Sometimes he and I get going on random rants about people we work with and by the end have everyone who works near us rolling on the floor laughing so hard they wet their pants.
The best is that he has a really kick ass band. They cover all kinds of stuff, but mostly great 80's tunes, a lot of Beatles and even some more current stuff (I've been trying to get them to cover the theme from Shaft, but to no luck so far. although as a joke they do brickhouse). The girl and I have been to see them perform at least 6 times if not more and we have a fucking blast everytime.
