Lindy West had a fantastic list of Ten Types of Shitty Coworkers and How to Not Murder Them<\/a>.<\/p>\n

#2 was The Nutritionist<\/strong>, which started off about vegans. That totally cracked me up, because I could relate, mostly from bringing vegan food to work and having other people grill me about it. But then I got to this:<\/p>\n

…the dude who keeps a crockpot of Costco meatballs simmering at his desk at all times and shorts out your space heater and makes fun of you for eating carrots because “carrots are for pussies”…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

If I had not worked in a cube farm with a man who used to cook chicken in a crockpot under his desk and stink up the whole room, I would never have believed this one. Not only that, he was gay and had a signed picture of George H.W. Bush and Babs on his cube wall. AND, he used a plug-in air freshener. He also clipped his toenails at work. Apparently this combo means I won the competition of strange and annoying co-workers. His only saving grace (for me) was that he was a couple of rows over.<\/p>\n

I really found it all too amusing. Would love to hear about some of your quirky co-workers!<\/p>\n
