It’s not a flex or anything, I shave it myself in the kitchen every other Sunday. My hair grows crazy fast.

I’m imagining him being played by Garth Marenghi guy

My office of IT folks in rural Yorkshire is Paul, Paul, Chris, Chris, Steve, Steve and… Steve (me). It’s excruciatingly Brentian at times.

Paul: Is Chris in today?

Me: He’s ill. Described himself as feeling like “death warmed up”.

Other Chris: That’s just how I like 'em.

Once had a job interview at curry’s and the guy said ‘if there is one thing that gets me up in the morning it is good customer service’ the words haunted me so I turned down the job in favour of my local Alldays

It was explained to me early on that Paul(2)'s mum is “fair game” :roll_eyes:

Was done by this point, didn’t even need the rest of it. Glorious.

Never worked with any Brents because deep down Brent was well-meaning, whereas all the “personalities” I’ve worked with have been total cunts. At my last job I sat within earshot of the most attention-hungry man on the planet. Every now and then he’d make a loud fart noise and go “oooh, who was that? Sounds like one of yours Jenny”, or he’d hum the hook from You Can Call Me Al at excruciating volume.

Was also an interesting (read: horrifying) case study of how Brexit brought the racists out into the open, as the worse the rhetoric got the bigger his opinions got. Eventually I reported him to HR for doing “the eyes” behind my Chinese colleague’s back. Last I heard he’d been promoted.

There’s certainly one that comes to mind!

He sounds amazing!

This guy sounds like a pure legend tbh tbf

I think he would have been absolutely amazingly entertaining as a mate but unfortunately he was hands down the worst person I’ve ever worked with.

Took me on such a journey that by the time I was reading about him eating raw mince, i’d forgotten that he was a self proclaimed lord

That’s fair enough. You actually know the guy. I was sold on the braces/shades indoors and drag queen parts. I am easily sold.

Imagine trying to train someone (over and over again) on how to use a database or a system or whatever and they just lean back in their chair, put a pen on the mouth and raise their eyebrows at you - all the while reminding you that they are very, very experienced at the job.

And then phoning you up every day complaining that they don’t know how to use the database, system etc.
