I have only been at this job 2 months now, and the girl that sits across from me has some rather unusual habits. They are getting more extreme though and another coworker today brought it to my attention that she thinks she has a compulsive disorder.
The latest thing is that EVERY time she gets up out of her seat, she sprays this body spray 4 times on herself. Its like a vanilla/musky smell and it makes me gag. Today she could not sit in her seat, so you can imagine that by the 10th time she sprayed, I was about to have a full on fit. She is a marketing person so she is very bubbly, outgoing and loud. Also if there is music on her computer (don't get me started), she has to tap her hands on her desk. I know that may not be compulsive, but I blurted out the other day "ok, you HAVE to stop that". She looked like she was hurt and said quietly "im sorry". Along with all of these, she also curses really bad. Oh and last week, she decided that it was better for HER to work with the lights off in our section of the building. We have windows, but still...I type in orders all day long and have to actually read sheets of paper in front of me. She does all of her work on the computer. She told me that I need to go buy a desk lamp and have the company reimburse me. ??? I do not want to get on her bad side, because she bad mouths so many people all the way from the janitors in our building to the management staff. We (the other 4 people that sit near me) all agreed today that something has to happen, esp. about the body spray. I just don't know how to handle it.
