I work with a bunch of Electronic Technologists. What that really means is, 'i work with a bunch of nerds.' No kidding.
Half of them are married, kids, white picket fence and all that and the other half (mostly really great guys) it's quite clear will never have that. Nice, intelligent, heart-of-gold type guys but with very little in the social skills department. Personally, i've never been big in the social skills department but it's important enough to me that i make an effort.
Anyway, i'll skip to the meat of the story.
As I was leaving the lunchroom just now (because a bunch of suits walked in) there was this maintenance tech. in front of me leaving also. He was about 3-4 steps ahead. As he turns the first corner, and is out of my sight, I hear his (loud) running until what sounds like the next corner. By the time I round the first corner I can hear him running down the next hallway.
Then, after rounding the second corner myself, I can see him looking both ways trying to figure out which way to go. As soon as he figures this out, he turns and runs down that hallway.
Interesting.
Next guy I run into, about 4 seconds later, is this little runningman's manager's manager so I know he's been working with the runningman for quite some time. I ask, "does he run everywhere?" To which I get the response, "yes."
Very interesting.
Where do they find these people?
(and that's just one of the people i work with)

PAS (People Are Strange) is another Uber user. Haven't seen her on here in a while though.

It's the flickering fluorescent mind control devices that they install on the ceilings.
Eventually, the weak individuals break down into a frenzy... and run.

I really don't get this at all. If I were to try to write something about a fraction of the strange people I am in contact with every day, Uber may have to expand the site. I know a lot of wierdos.

when you're a stranger, faces look ugly when you're alone.
women seem wicked when you're unwanted, streets are uneven when you're down

They probally found them in the same place they found you, where you might ask? Why behind the abortion clinic your mom "the slut" used to frequent.
