8. I worked with this guy that was "big into conspiracy theories"

I asked him, okay then, what do you do with whatever info you find out?

he barks out, "tell people".

and I said, "who?"

it was at the point, I saw in his eyes, that his brain was starting to short out.

"people, that's who!"

I gave him the , "uh huh, gotcha". Rolled my eyes and walked away. he was babbling about people have to know etc.

I work with a lot of engineers and they all fall into a few groups. 1) the good ones, 2) the bad ones that think they are good (those are the worst) and 3) the fucking crazy ones.

he was in that 3rd category, which I had known long before this conversation.
