Weird work colleagues

[DillyDally]

Here are two guys that I have the misfortune to work with..

One is a consultant who (when the nice man opposite isn?t in) uses his desk. I am working away and then I notice out the corner of my eye that he is sticking two fingers up at me (this is the second time he has done it) Me being bolshie said to him that he was strange little man, and he said that I wasn?t being very kind to say that! The cheek of it. As a direct contrast, when I meet him on the stairs, he is always nice, holds doors open and stuff- I am wondering if he had a kind of tourettes syndrome? Any ideas?

The other person (X) is a bit of a woman disliker I think and is always trying to get a sly comment in and I always pick up on it and I told X today he had an evil streak and I was surprised he had any friends to go out with. (the man opposite is really nice and always gets the drinks in and he suggested that X got the drinks in for a change which X declined to do again). I always stick up for myself but am wondering what the hell they are doing. I have never had any problems with work colleagues and was wondering if you lot had. I have no problems with anyone else in the office.

Other than keeping away from them both and telling the consultant boss about the behaviour of the consultant, any good advice? Should I just shut up and let them get on with it?

No advice but they do sound very odd.

I think I should just keep my head down in future. the Doors were right..people are strange.

PMSL @ weirdo sticking fingers up!!!
God that made me LOL! I think you were very tolerant just calling him a strange little man tbh.

Ignore them both they are morons.

sounds like they're acting out Green Wing to me...

If only they were half as attractive as the green wing cast.

DillyDally - the high strung consultant with the mustache?

Stick your fingers up back at the consultant.

Stop getting drinks for X.

I've worked with more weirdos than I care to remember!

Attention seeking little boys - ignore them!!!!

Keepo getting the drinks in but spit in his first....I worked as a low paid waitress for too long to feel guilty about that one!

Isnt the green wing consultant better looking in real life? Even so, he is better looking than at least one of my work "chums"
Excellent advice regarding drinks, I have a mean cold coming on
My sister suggested doing the whole two fingers by wiping each eyebrow with a finger simultaneously - perhaps a little too playgroundy for me.

I wouldn't know DillyDally! But how could he be. It's not like he's done up in heavy makeup or anything. I think he's just got a stick on 'tach and a stupid hair cut.

How about peeing on their chairs after hours?

Will check for CCTV cameras before trying that one Daddy.
Consultant in GW was in Spaced and he was slightly better looking in that.

Just kidding. Damn those CCTV cameras!

Do you know where they live?

Are you prepared to travel and do you have your own shovel?

Well, there was this graduate at my office who came to talk to the guy sitting next to me. He used to sit on my desk (over my mouse even if I was using it!), chew my pens and sometimes he used to left things he had harvested from his nose under our desks (while he was talking!) YUK!
I got a cactus for the desk and things improve a bit... I was so relieved when he finally left!

LOL at a Cactus.
Feel v ill at nose droppings.

That's grim Chandra.

DillyDally - what's in it for me?

Whoah, just realised how cheeky that last post sounded!

Daddy - A wondrous feeling of doing good for the entire world, my eternal gratitude.
If you are referring to financial reward I can stretch to five english pounds and perhaps a cactus if I can get a job lot of them.

If we had to get rid of all irritating colleagues, i fear a lifetimes work is ahead of us.

sounds great but I'll need one of those huge cactuses you find in the desert to keep all those
peckerhead colleagues away from my desk.

I used to work with a man who ate paper.

A saguaro? I would get a picture for you, doubt it will fit over your desk... probably not even in the office...

googled saguaro. That's the bad boy, one of those please!

Blimey glad to be a SAHM. It's a good job I am as I wouldn't have your patience Dillydally.

Eurghhhhhhh at the snot guy Chandra

Why did the man eat paper Soupd? Was this instead of recycling it?
Juniper..I have no patience else I would sit still and let it all wash over me instead of grimacing and clenching my fist at them.
I shall take up T'ai Chi (and order extreme cactus just in case)
