Does anyone here have some pretty interesting characters that they work with or any weirdos they can recall? I work in a warehouse, so I work around a lot of people. There's one guy that we call Dr. Giggles because he is always laughing, even without having to say anything to him. He scares me a bit. Everyone at my job seems to have a nickname, including the guy who comes up with them all. We call him the K kid (kindergarten kid). The names are numerous, like Geppetto, Pinocchio, Angus, Vinegar, Man-hands, The General, Dora the Explorer, Captain America, Panda, etc.

I worked in IT for 13 yrs, same location, this was a professional office environment, and I was on night shift for yrs. One guy (who eventually became a mgr for awhile) insisted on being called Tigger and gave EVERYONE nicknames. Some of the names were 'Hair-Dude', 'Grandpa', and 'Schnapwah', and some I don't dare post. He kind of tried to give me a nickname but he knew better, however he frequently did mix the similarities of my last name with another lead's first name and call me that on email or in person.
In general often the longer you work with people, the more you see their good and bad qualities and their quirks come out as well. One guy, a fellow lead on nights, a brilliant man and my work buddy for yrs, could ONLY talk about 6 topics. He knew 'everything' about politics, Disneyland, mainframes, the NRA, fishing and stocks but anything outside those topics he couldn't even feign interest. Also he was such 'an authority' about the 'Big 6' that he never let anyone have a right to their own opinion at all. I was one of the few who could get along with him, for 6.5 yrs, as I avoided most those topics.
However we had a lot of 'stranger' people at work and on shift than just this guy, night shift seems to attract them, but I know those people are everywhere.
