Do you work with creepy-weird co-workers?

Published

when i worked as a unit sec. there was this resp tech (registry) that was very creepy toward me!!!! on one occasion he came up from behind me while i was at my desk and started rubbing my shoulders!!!!! i didn't even know his first name!!! yuck! i immediately jumped up and stated firmly, "please do not touch me, sir!" he backed away laughing (yellow teeth--ugh)...then, another time i was in the cafeteria getting my lunch and this other employee was taking pics for the christmas decor, well this creepy RT grabs my arm and tells the guy, "go ahead shoot!" eeeewwww!!! the camera guy clicked at us before i could respond, i was so caught off guard that i just smiled feebly and booked it outta there asap!!!:uhoh3:

about 2 weeks later, i spotted the pic, in all its yellow tooth grin and my look of feebleness glory, and i snatched it right off of the cristmas employee decor board and filed it under "G" !!! thank God the guy left about two weeks after that (he threatened to beat up a male ER nurse), i am sorry but he was NOT my cup of tea. he was just one of those guys that always makes dumb/dirty jokes and cracks up at them on his own...NO thank you to that, sir!:trout: did i mention his mullet!!??

Ummm... I don't actually work with this nurse, she works on day shift, but the other morning as I was leaving I saw her talking very animatedly... to her reflection in the window. That was kinda weird.

Back to the topic:

Old married nurses flirting with the younger staff. It creeps me out! Heck, half of them are butt ugly *yuck*

They also love to brag about gambling and how much $$$ they have. It's pathetic! I don't mind hearing nurses having money saved up from working their butts off as nurses, but to brag that you gamble it away? Sickens me.

Now you know why I'd rather post in here than yap with them.

Hey...paxil does wonders baby! LOL!!!!!!!!! I took that pic when I found out I passed the NCLEX! It was a look like "okay..hmmmmmm...I have power!"...LOL!!!!!!

No people do find me odd because I do smile all the time, or have a funny story to share. Makes work tolerable for me, and those around me :). Like I have always said...if I am not smiling or laughing...something is very very wrong!"

you tell them. if people can't accept you for who you are wil that too bad.

We just got a new male co-worker that people swear is a child-molestor or mass murderer. You'll find him just staring at you with wide eyes every now and then. Then he'll ask an off the wall question "do you like spinach?".

I think he's harmless and don't participate in the gossip, but have to admit he's a bit creepy with the staring.

I had an instructor (first year) who did that CONSTANTLY! Drove me nuts. The first time I drew up a syringe for my first IM shot, she was behind me talking away. She was saying things like, "I think she can do it...can she do it? I think she can...it is so hot in here..". My hands were shaking so bad, and I kept hering her whispering behind me. Finally, I turned her around and looked her in the eye and said, "yes it is very hot in here!" :angryfire

Would it make any difference if they were young and attractive?

Maybe it's just the way you come off, but you seem rather judgemental of people. What other people do and how they look seems of big concern to you.

[color=dimgray]:uhoh3: i feel very weird posting this because i'm not sure what to think. i have a weird coworker. a bunch of us are suspecting that he steals narcotics and he also threatened another rn when she confronted him .

i don't know if he really is because in our facility, we work pretty independantly and when he works, he's the supervisor. he's very charming and the residents really like him. he appears to really care for them. but recently, i've noticed a change in him. i'm a real happy go lucky person and when i arrive for shift change he gives me report and it's enjoyable. the last time, he was so irritable.

what creeps me out about him is, i've caught him watching me. this started when he was a regular full timer. i was taking off my sweat shirt. my uniform was stuck and my back was exposed. i turned around and noticed him watching. at the time i just thought "maybe it was just so weird, he couldn't help it." but recently, he's been weird. normal communication is what i keep thinking but the stares are making me uncomfortable. or, am i the weird one for being so paranoid? he's made a few off handed comments that have felt like "put downs" i keep wondering if he hates me for some reason. that's a hard pill to swallow because i can't stand it when some one hates me. or am i being paranoid? i don't know what i've done to piss him off. i keep wondering.

i don't know about what everyone is saying about him. i'm not a judgemental person. i'm in no position to judge anyone. i've wondered if he thinks that i wonder if he's stealing pills. i haven't seen any evidence but wondered why residents weren't sleeping. or were in pain when normally they were controlled when the other rpn was working that evening. i can only worry about what i do when i'm on shift.

i guess we all have to work with "weirdo's" but i wonder now, if i'm the weirdo. what is it like to work with me? do i keep looking like a space-cadet? i try and make each shift the "best shift ever" and look at each difficulty as a challenge to over-come. but at the same time, i don't want to look like the biggest geek ever. but i can't stand conflict. at my hospital job, the er nurses treat us like the biggest idiots ever to walk the face of the earth but also make silly mistakes too.

and then my crazy "outside of work life." so really, is that crazy looking weirdo coworker really a creepy weirdo? or are they just human? some people may just "hide it" well. sometimes life is just mixed up. perhaps my coworker is weird and creepy to me. perhaps i'm the weird creepy one. sometimes i think other people are weird and creepy. also, a few years ago when i came on shift, the rn i was relieving said "who doesn't have problems? right (nancy?). she looked up from her paperwork and said "i don't have problems!!!" that was weird and creepy to me. i mean, who doesn't have worries? what does that feel like to not have worries? or is she in denial? what does that really feel like?

weird and creepy, eh?
