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.

That's awesome. He's not hurting anyone.

awesome my ass, hate when grown man does that

The twitching his head to the side and hissing like a snake part reminds me of Voldemort. Are you a Death Eater?

Why does he have to admit it? It's really not your business to warn anyone. You probably shouldn't stress over it so much, it sounds rather humorous and entertaining. Go with the flow yo!

I agree with the first part. Obviously, HE doesn't think he has a problem, why is it OP's job to tell new employees? As long as he's not randomly smacking people across the face, he's harmless!

If he chooses not to disclose his condition, if he in-fact, does have it perhaps you shouldn't "warn the new employees" as it is his right to tell people or not. Side note you don't come off very well in this.
