    I could go on for days about one but to put it short she believes the Feds have recently been in her house and wired up the TV to watch her. As a State employee she believes her work computer has now been taken over and being monitored and she has no control over it but its because she somehow linked her personal email to it so everything comes through her work email. I believe she hooked her iPhone up to it and synced it somehow to her personal cloud. Shes tried to get it fixed but IT will take control of the computer remotely and she thinks that they've screwed it up, once she accused the IT guy (Indian) of being a terrorist and trying to sabotage her computer they were pretty much done with her. All this because she took a mission trip to Columbia and because her FB page says shes a State employee then they believe she's running drugs and are trying to catch her.

    When I started out in the construction trades I worked for the states largest commercial/industrial painter. They needed bodies and would hire anyone. We had this one guy who received a dishonorble service discharge. He was on a work program run by the feds that paid half his salary. If you looked him in the eyes there was no one home. Totally off his rocker and off his meds. They set him up to paint the trim on a house that was next door to the owner of the company. The house had natural shingles and painted trim boards. They went back after 2 days and he painted the entire body and trim of 2 sides of the house.

    We have one person who claims people are stealing files from her computer, and her desk. Talks about the voices in her head. We have gone into her office to find her sitting on her purse in the corner of the room. She is not allowed to call the helpdesk without having her manager call for her, if the helpdesk gets a call from her they only notify the manager. She has become physical with a couple people that I know of. She should have been gone a long time ago but the reasons why not are a whole different story I am not getting into

    I am a production manager at a sheltered work shop. I never know what is going to happen when I walk through the door in the morning.

    One who BELIEVES vaccinations are a government program to control the US population and it is all financed by Bill Gates.

    Another believes Abraham Lincoln was a devoted communist and was good friends with Karl Marx.

    Worked with a guy that insulated back in the day and somehow got off the steam line he was on and onto the handrail of the stairs. His boss at the time caught it soon enough and told him, "Boy, your cornbread isn't all the way done is it?" He was Cornbread until he retired and most people didn't even know his real name.

    Boss hires his one of his best friends and neighbor to work in the shop with us. 6 months later the FBI arrested him out back for child pornography. Boss tried to get him out of jail. Someone put signs all up and down the road stating our shop hired pedophiles. He was officially fired that day.

    After 39 years in the steel industry, I managed to bump into a few nut jobs. The most memorable was a payroll person who walked into my office fearful that he was going to spontaneous combust. I told him there were fire extinguishers nearby if he did.

    One hourly guy was totally off the rails about guns. He brought to work a picture of a deer he shot that was totally mangled by what he claimed had 250 shots pumped into it. He said he went nuts when his wife told him not to spend any money getting the deer butchered. So as he had the deer hanging up in his back yard, he pulverized the deer with his gun. Coworkers were on this guy telling him he spent more on ammo than he would of getting the deer butchered. No one ever wanted to go out with this guy drinking. People considered him highly dangerous when drunk.

    I have had the pleasure of working with a few
    One guy was into MMA and would go to the equine store and by roids for horses, cook it down and shoot it up. He actually made some muscle mass gains. Few years ago lost his mind, tried to hang himself and then tried to sue the rehab facility he was in cause they checked in on him every 15 minutes and that was not frequent enough.
    Another guy I worked with lived on a county road that was having some mailboxes smashed. He was a volunteer fireman, drove a whit trans-am with a big blue light on top. One night he saw the kids smashing mailboxes, chased them down and pulled them over with his lights. Kids figured out he was not a cop and took off, he then fired a handful of shots from an sks towards the car. One ricocheted off the road and struck one of the kids in the butt.
    Don't even get me started on some of the truck drivers we get through the shop....lol
