Working in the city - predominantly male crowd. Nothing overly unusual apart from one colleague. His behaviour annoyed me, but now I ignore him as much as possible. We can go weeks without being in the office together, with no contact whatsoever. Still, when in the office together, he would come to my desk, ask to have a coffee in the kitchen, tell me all his work and family problems, smile from a distance, compliment my work, and ask to work together. This has been going on for years and I just don’t get it. So proper full on in the office when not - no word/like I don’t exist. The other day I looked up from my desk and he was staring and smiling from a distance.
I find this so weird. Is this weird? Why people behave weirdly like this? I avoid him, and don’t engage but I must sometimes as we have to work together.
