One lady used to talk about how all the First Nation students were lazy and criminals and there isn't any point in teaching them anything, but it turned out that she had a brain tumor, but when I told someone that they said that she'd been racist for as long as she'd been teaching and used to hate having to teach Black students.

Co-worker #1 likes to start chatting yet the conversation is a continuation of a conversation she was having earlier. With someone else. In another room.

Co-worker #2 "Those assholes would see Christ dragging the cross and complain about the marks he left on the floor" (said at least once a week for 5 years now)

He microwaved ketchup every single day for lunch. Didn't matter what he brought in, noodles, rice, sandwich, he'd just cover it with ketchup and then microwave it causing the whole office to reek.

Can't do any from my current job since a few managers are goons, but a previous job at a bank was great:

Greek customer speaking Greek on phone stops talking on the phone and says goodbye to me IN ENGLISH as he left.

Teller: "What was he saying on the phone?
Me: "He was speaking Greek, I don't know. I'm Italian, I speak Italian."
Teller: "I thought Europeans speak European."

I love how dumb White people have such trouble with Black people. A few years ago a goon on here mentioned that when he was at Basic Training a guy from the South was confused because he'd always been told that Black people have short, stumpy tails.

I loving hate this poo poo man! My coworkers would say stuff like this all the time and everyone paid attention like it's not completely insane.

"I believe that brain waves can affect your surroundings." (no, not that you can influence people with some positive attitude, he literally believes you can move things with your goddamn mind)

"According to doctors, you should be taking 6 grams of vitamin C a day. Believe me, I have a PhD in biology and I've done some studies" (After inquiring about this, his "studies" were a couple google searches he did while bored and sitting at his desk one day. Yes, somehow he does have a PhD in Biology. And another one in Physics.)

"Government pensions are unaffordable and bankrupting the state of California"
- A government worker who will start to collect a government pension of about $70k/year starting next year. But it's OK for him. He's a FEDERAL government worker. Also he's under the old pension system, so of course his pension is far more generous than that for anyone silly enough to start working for the US after 1983.
