we have a resident paranoid ... constantly asking others if someone wlse was saying something about her, blah blah blah That sounds like two of my coworkers: The above secretary and another coworker. Then again I have another coworker who does gossip about other coworkers. Maybe he's saying things about both of them.

Hmmm I have a crazy employee as well, my boss has a heart of gold (sometimes) he hired this one woman about 3 yrs back, we (employer) knew her background. from being into drugs to being in jail. my boss has always & still does tell her for "Business" sake not to mention to anyone even new employees about her past. Well she might as well be fired, because she has told Everyone & I mean everyone even clients, about how she is divorce that her husband left her & her kids due to the drugs & she sold them & served time and so on...she just doesnt know when to stop. Her latest 3 months back was about her getting her boobs redone over again & how perky they look now, gawd!!! But its my bosses decision to keep her, its on him! I think she missing a few screws in her head.

I think every workplace has there resident drama queen/king. I've known a few that could win Oscars for their performances. I've got about six or seven at my job. The good news is since I work in a different place every day I don't have to deal with them that often. Also my sups figured out that I work best on my own, so they always send me off somewhere by myself. Aren't you Special!!, lol Good for you!

My New Job at the cosmetic company is cool. Though its not full time yet. So I work at an office where I am in an office with 3 beeaatchs. They whine and nap all the time. Actually they really are three dogs for real 3 cocker Spaniels. I assist this VP a couple days a week . Part of my job is to watch the dogs. I'll be happy when Im at the makeup job full time. So I dont have to protect the ups man from the girls lol

I personally don't have any coworker horror stories, other than the occasional weirdo or idiot, but my husband worked with a REAL winner.
Ed was his name. Think Dwight AND Andy from 'The Office' had a baby -- that would be ED. My hubby would call me every day from work with a new Ed story.
One day, a coworker said that she had a flat tire and Ed jumped up and said, "I'll go change it! TIME ME!!!" and ran out of the office. When he returned, he wanted to know his time.
Ed once stood up randomly, with no provocation or reason, in the middle of all the cubicles and declared that he could strut and dance like John Travolta and proceeded to disco dance around the office as everyone just stared.
Ed once jumped up and said that he wanted to play some football in the parking lot with one of their coworkers, Brian (the coworker used to play football at Univ. of MD). Brian declined, but Ed, being ED, persisted. So they went outside. Of course the guy thought they were just going to throw the ball around. NO. Ed wanted to run DRILLS in the parking lot. And they were all in suits and ties. Ed threw the ball and asked Brian repeatedly, "Bet you never threw a ball THAT far before!"
