We spend so much time at work that we learn about all of our coworkers’ personal lives without meaning to. For example, we know the name of the client’s cat who calls 17 times a day. Even though most days at work are pretty much the same, there is still a place online for funny and strange stories that are worth telling.

It’s been a while since my boss tried to hit on me at work by telling me I have pretty legs. I had enough of his compliments and told him to stop. I didn’t shave my legs for two weeks, and then I wore a short skirt to work. He said he liked it even more than I thought. Should I give up? Ward 6 / VK

I worked at a small advertising firm eight years ago. Mike, a designer who worked with me, took a shower in the office toilet. He said that because he lived in a dorm and the shower there was dirty, he was afraid to use it. On his chair, there was always a wet towel in a horrible color. He also did his laundry at work. He wouldn’t feel the least bit embarrassed when he dried his underwear and socks on the radiator in front of everyone. He got very angry when the director told him to put it all away, because, to put it mildly, the clients were shocked to see it. “They won’t smell good now that they haven’t dried out,” he said in a low voice.

Someone I worked with liked to try my food. I once brought pasta with cream, porcini mushrooms, and pine nuts. He asked, “What is it that you have that is so nice?” As he starts to eat with a spoon, his face changes, and he asks, “Are those mushrooms?” He left the office quickly to go to the bathroom. He stays away from mushrooms. That’s too bad! la / ADME

Our library now has a young woman working there. She was a college graduate, so our boss thought she knew what she was doing. I don’t know where she found her. It turned out to be the opposite: she scared off readers, sat in a chair and fell, and was told to glue pockets on new items—everything was in glue. She just didn’t show up to work on the fourth day. We called her after three days. “Our Nataly is too good to work for you,” her grandmother told her on the phone. This is Geriknas/ADME.

Recently, I heard a very funny conversation at work. Our accountant was in her office. She was an older woman who had worked for our company for a very long time. “You have worked for my company for more than 10 years and have never asked for a pay raise,” our boss said with a smile as he walked up to her. Are there any dirty secrets you want to share?” She lost her job the same day. Ward 6 / VK
