There was this really odd guy who used to 'sneak' off into the car park and pick up prozzers, smoke a joint then come back to his desk like it was normal.Comment

If you've never worked with any odd people, the odd one is you! [Courtesy of J. Carr One-Liners Ltd]
Only case I care to share (not come across many odd people) is one place where there were a bunch of help-deskers at the opposite end of the office. One of them was a really old guy (around 70) who now and then used to spend most of the day asleep. Fortunately he never snored. We reckoned he must have been the MD's dad to get away with it.
If I'm still contracting when I get that old I'll probably not give a toss and try it too.Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it

A couple of years ago, I worked with a bloke who had this fascination for buses. Weekends, he would go up to Victoria Bus Station and take photos and numbers. The worst bit was that he would take extended lunches to go ride on a normal bus that he had not been on before so that he could cross it off in his book. Not so bad if you're retired but he was in his mid twenties called Gavin and lived / worked on the Isle of Wight. His screen saver even consisted of coach pictures and he waffled on constantly about them.Comment

Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
