Weirdest person you ever worked with

We had a guy here that just plain didn't shower. And was a chain smoker. On a hot summer day, even in shop with a/c, you couldn't get within 15 feet of him without becoming nauseated. When smoking was allowed in our shop, he'd burn cigs all day, every day. When we banned it, he would go to his car at lunch and smoke 7 cigs in a 1/2 hour. B.O. and cigarettes...not a winning combination for sure. He was gone in our first round of layoffs.
 
This is a client of mine. One of his co-workers came over to my company and filled me in on this whack-job!

-he was cheap - all his clothes were hand-me downs, he never got a haircut and did not have a car. Instead he rides the bus 3 hours EACH way(Philly area to CT) to and from work.
-on weekends when the weather was nice, he would ask his co-worker to drop him off in a park on friday evening and pick him up on monday morning. He would live off the land, killing and eating squirrels in the park. He would sleep under leaves.
-took him out to lunch one time with some of his co-workers and he declared that he had a tapeworm. He would ask co-workers if he could have their leftovers - and these werent great leftovers...I'm talking about the last 2-3 pieces of lettuce left on somebodies plate from a caesar salad. He would eat right off their plates. He was also the only person who would order dessert at lunch.
-At that same lunch he asked 2 of his co-workers if he could have their lobster carcasses so that he could bring them home, grind them up and sprinkle them on his food for "extra calcium." I would hate to be on the bus next to that guy!
-back to being cheap...he wouldn't turn on the heat in his house and sometimes in the winter he would get so cold that he would go to the kitchen, turn the oven on and rotate his body every so often so that either his head or hs feet were in the oven.

I chit you not...this guy is a freak.
