we shuffled around in the building; my new cubemate is a genius.
she also scolded me because I put wrappers in her garbage can, and thought that was enough evidence to accuse me of also moving it. I explained that the cleaning people probably did it, while scheming of putting it in a different location each day.

Me: "Damn dude did I take that long?"

Oh, you mean the show where the surly, gruff, old guy that runs a business yells at his younger staff members for 30 or so minutes?

Oh, shit...guess I was thinking of another show...

Me: "..."

A friend told me of a similar conversation recently. He bragged that he responded, "Ethiopean restaurant? What do they serve? Dirt? hahaha!"

In general, I hate all of these shows that are "some random asshole who owns a business and based on that concept alone, I am supposed to give a fuck".
The exception is Pawn Stars, which rules, but everything else is shit.

"How much are quarters?"

My cousin told me her supervisor asked her "how do you spell super? One p or two?"

I have an employee who is extremely socially awkward. He's also extremely outgoing and feels the need to chime into every conversation. But he's clueless, fidgety, and usually waiting to talk, so he often fumbles comprehending what you're talking about, leaving everyone to stare at him and do this:

The other day I was talking to one of my other employees...

me: Who was that?
Emp1: One of the Workplace Services guys. He's trying to clean up the hallway...
me: Oh! The tall, bald guy?
Emp1: Yeah.
me: That guy is so creepy.
Emp1: *chuckles*
me: Seriously. Every time I'm walking down the hall he stops what he's doing, and stands there with this big creepy smile on his face. Then he says "hi" to me, all nervous when I pass him. It weirds me out...
GeekEmp: Aww... So being bald creeps you out?
me:
Emp1:

Mari, you gonna git raped in a broom closet.

I think jakebonz may be right Mari, carry a weapon.

I know!

I want to hear more stories about this guy.

Manager: "Dan, I'm trying to knock out five birds w/ one stone. Can you look at blahblah for me?"

I think he means he's got 5 tasks. Not that all 5 tasks have one common solution.

Oh god! They happen all the time!

GeekEmp: So, this friend of mine is having me plan his bachelor party.
me: Really? Are you his best man?
GeekEmp: Well... that's the thing... no. But, I know the city better than any of them because I was born and raised here, and I go out all the time, and stuff...
me: Oh... So, what are you planning?
GeekEmp: Oh, I figure we could go to North Beach because of all the restaurants there. And then we can go have fun in the strip clubs up and down Broadway.
me: Yeah... If your idea of fun is getting lap dances from strippers with bullet wounds and missing teeth...
GeekEmp: *nervous disingenuous chuckle* No, nothing that crazy...
me: ... Have you ever been in the strip clubs on Broadway?
GeekEmp: Yeah... Once...
me: And you didn't think the girls were nasty in there???
GeekEmp: Well... yeah... but, we went kinda early, so I thought it was just the day crew or something, and they bring in the really smokin' girls at night.
me:

*Broadway is notorious for having low-grade strip clubs.

HAHAHAHA!

Haha that story sounded more like him being dumb than socially awkward. Reminds me of some old coworkers of mine who considered any area that wasn't suburban Atlanta to be "downtown."

He's the source of nearly all my contributions to this thread.

His social awkwardness comes from his delivery. Everything from his constantly shifty eyes, to his nervous tone, to the fumbling idiocy of things he says... It's a little difficult for me to capture.

Within three weeks of me hiring him...

GeekEmp: Aww... what's wrong?
me: I feel fat today...
GeekEmp: But you look great!
me: thank...
GeekEmp: And you have GORGEOUS eyes!!!
me:

He definitely needs to post here.

Sounds like this dude will deserve whatever shit happens to him, especially after you warned him.

Just now:

My manager is looking up addresses for banks/accounts/local offices for some other group here.

Manager: "I eventually started looking some of these up online. I looked where the office was strategically located. Now in China we have a ton. So I looked at the providence where it's located and searched for the closest address of that bank."

Hahaha FUCK!!! I tried hard not to crack a smile or chuckle. I almost asked about the office's STRATEGIC location.
