Today, it's been 5 years I've been working for a man that won't admit he has Tourette's. He sits at his desk, twitching his head and hissing like a snake. He's also randomly said things like 'nipples', 'Jessica Simpson', 'potato peeler', etc. I feel like it's become my job to warn new employees. FML

That's funny, because I tell people I do have Tourette's even though I don't just so I can say "nipples" and "********" whenever I feel like it. Thanks for your story -- I think I'm going to add "Jessica Simpson" to my repertoire.

keep a bunch of random items at your desk. then when he blurts out "toothbrush" (or whatever) you can toss one on his desk. turn it into an office game! call it "guess what Bob wants". the winner is the person who brings in the most items randomly blurted out. the losers have to chip in for the winners bar tab after work on Friday.

Yeah, FYL because someone else has a crippling disease and is probably too ashamed to admit it.

That sounds like a terrible idea.

Just have fun with it. you could play turrets bingo or just wait for him to say the word of the day then run around the office screaming like its peewees play house. Does he use Bob safety as a curse word?

Hey there's nothing wrong with liking Jessica Simpsons nipples. Just go along with it and maybe even say a few words yourself.

Maybe nothing wrong with liking anyones nipples, but a potato peeler is the wrong way to obtain them... That being just a guess. I have personally never tried a potato peeler on anyone's nipples.

or better yet just make a bet with your co workers on what's gonna be the first word he's gonna say it's a legit idea and you'll make profit from it
