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.

In high school I had a teacher with it. He would also touch himself, yell **** or coon muck balls, wiggle his tie from side to side, and jerk his head around. He has the worst breath, you could smell it 4 rows back. To top it off, no lie, the only had half a middle finger that he lost to a lawnmower

Sounds like he'd be fun to hang out with for a day or two.

Agreed, he might not have Tourette's syndrome at all, he might just be... ...unique like that.

Only if it's involuntary. Maybe he's working on his insanity defense for when they start finding the bodies of past employees.

That must be fun. I thought that people with that disability just had ticks, not outbursts of random words.
