How do you deal with a NASTY co-worker?

[XemaSab]

This dude is always rummaging in his nose and licking his fingers. Right there. In public.

I can't deal. It's not okay.

Just today he ate a piece of pizza, licked his fingers, and touched FOUR separate pieces of pizza before selecting a second piece.

Then, I had to go sit at his nasty work station and put on his head-set to take calls.

Meanwhile, he was looking at files, digging in his nose, and licking his fingers between files. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TO TOUCH THOSE FILES. :o

One time I called him on it and he said "I have a strong immune system."

It scares me.

How do I deal with this? :scared:

1. Maybe a squirt bottle like you would use a cat or dog.

Squirt him every time you see the behavior. If that doesn't work, go over his head.

[Dr. Strange]

2. Might I suggest something along the lines of...

"madinmaryland, would you PLEASE stop with the nasal excursions?"

[Tobin S.]

3. I'd beat the hell out of him

"Listen up you booger eatin motherfucker! Unless you start acting like a human being instead of a chimpanzee your going dooowwwwn!"

Seriously, I don't know. That's some pretty rude behavior. Is there anything your boss might be able to do?

4. There was a guy like that where I last worked

Always stuffing his face with Arbys or whatever food he could find. He'd sit at computer we would all use and eat and watch crap on youtube. He would get his greasy fingers all over the mouse and keyboard. I hated him so much.


Everyone in the office treated him like shit until he quit lol.

5. BUSTED

[gratuitous]

6. Misleading subject line

Too bad, I had a great answer all ready, too.

[Danger Mouse]

7. Spit in his eye.

[Lil Missy]

8. Fart when he does that.

[Capn Sunshine]

9. yeah, give his mouse a dirty sanchez

I'm very scatalogical today

[phasma ex machina]

10. OP can snake a hand down their own crack to scratch some bare butt when snorting finger shows up. nt

[question everything]

11. Get a box of those Purell towelettes

and don't touch anything without first wiping them - head phones, files, etc.

And don't try to do this covertly.

It is gross. Perhaps someone needs to complain to HR, or something.

[raccoon]

15. I second that, and also his supervisor needs to speak to him about this.

If the supervisor doesn't know, somebody needs to tell him/her.

[LeftyMom]

12. Loudly ask him to observe basic hygeine rules because you don't want the swine flu.

Make a big point of dousing yourself in hand sanitizer after touching anything of his.

[BuelahWitch]

13. Wear rubber gloves and a face mask when you have to work in his cube

And if anyone asks you why, tell them. Or accidentally spill something poisonous on his fingers...:hide:

[XemaSab]

17. He doesn't have a cube

We all work in the same space. :(

[Deep13]

14. Put moustraps in his files and tell him...

...you have strong fingers.

[Swede]

16. Tell the boss on union.

This is unacceptable behavior.

[Kali]

18. um...

fucking
EEEWWWWWWWWW!!!!
