I was at a day-long meeting in which the CEO was constantly nodding off. No one dared wake him. ---

We have a doctor here who has a hairy bush growing out of the top side of his nose. Yes, a bush, it’s the size of a cotton ball! The most disturbing part is, I looked up his faculty picture online once, and his nose was clean-shaven (plucked?). Whatever. The point is, he must know that people don’t normally go around with pubes growing right out the center of their face…he just _does_. :eek: My mom told a story about a meeting in which everyone watched the IT guy pick something out of his hair, roll it about between his thumb and forefinger, sniff it, then carefully store it away in his breast pocket. No one said anything. ---

> [@lorene](#): > > Anyhow, not a business meeting, but I was doing a mandatory training yesterday. Someone excused her self, and I figured she was just going to the rest room or something, as she left most of her stuff at her desk. She didn’t come back for 40 minutes. When asked what had happened, she said that she ran out to a doctor’s appointment. > > She does not get credit for the training. Ha! That reminds me of a “meeting” we were having with a project manager one afternoon some years back. It wasn’t a formal meeting, but several of us and the manager were standing around outside one of our cubicles late in the day, discussing some particular issue, when all of a sudden the manager looks at his watch and says something like “Hang on a second” and runs back to his office. Next thing we know, he’s walking out the door, getting into his car, and driving off. The rest of us are all just staring at each other with “WTF?” looks on our faces when one of the guys says “Well, I guess THAT meeting’s over!” ---

The rest of us are all just staring at each other with “WTF?” looks on our faces when one of the guys says “Well, I guess THAT meeting’s over!” I think that guy was my last boss! He would definitely do that, but I think it’s more because he could walk 10 feet to his office and honestly not remember what he was just doing. _oh, BTW, yes, there are 2 people in my house with 2 logons because we are fond of disagreeing and it would freak y’all out to hear both opinions from one user. He forgot to log out last night, I forgot to check.[/SIZE]_ :smack: ---

I can see blood or puke without getting the heaves, but spit . . . . > > ::gag:: So this one time, in real life, at a poker party at my old house, a spitting co-worker spilled his “cup” on my then wife’s leg. He went to clean it up when my then wife uttered the phrase of the year… “DON’T RUB ME!!” He doesn’t work here anymore. His desk was covered in sun flower seed shells… what he switched to to stop the chewing. We threw his keyboard and mouse and headphones away when he left. I’m not sure, but I think the chair was taken out back and burned (okay, I made that part up). [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/weird-ass-business-meeting-behavior/593096.md?page=1)
