I had to take alcohol classes for a dui I got and those instructors are idiots. The classes are basically a forum to talk about what drugs you took between weekly classes and the lady instructor trying to bone the rough looking losers in the class.

Vet Reception / Techs

Been either dating or married to a vet receptionist for the past decade and the stories of horrid gossip, backstabbing, pettiness, and general insanity are never ending. I don't know what it is about vet reception / tech work that attracts literally the WORST kind of sociopaths, but it does pretty consistently.

Teachers

Male teachers are usually pretty laid back and normal people.

Female teachers on the other hand are the most narcissistic people. An insanely high percentage of them believe that nobody else on the face of the earth for the entirety of human history has suffered as much as they have. At my last job two teachers got laid off and (guy and girl) and all the guy teachers were shaking hands, giving sympathies, and wishing them the best of luck (getting a teaching job in Ontario is loving impossible).

Female teacher #1: "You're not going to need these supplies in your room, can I have them?"
Female teacher #2: (Within earshot) "Oh!!! Now I have to teach that low-level English class! What bad luck!"
Female teacher #3: "Hey, can I have the key to your room? I want to see if I can take if when you are gone!"
Female teacher #4: "I was told I have to teach your grade 11 math class. I have the worst luck!"

How is it we will define crazy? Is one crazy who acts outside the norms, you know, one who has maybe *coke sniffles* a conspiracy theory, a lack of general trust in people, and many phobias. I am sure you know *waves hands violently in a circular tube motion* the filem, this movie called "The Lion King". Call me crazy but you must listen. *wipes nose on shirt, not realizing he's wearing a short sleeves, and actually used his arm*. The idealogy of this King of Lions is sickening and fascist. Even once he is dead, POOF! There he reigns over us in the very sky. How do you say...No way jose? It's loving bullshit! I think yes. And yet despite it's irrational idealogy of a lion who lives forever and refuses to remove himself from our view of the sky *burps the heartburn sounding kind of chesty burp* this is a very popular filem, maybe the most, you know. Pretending to make room for you by moving from occupying a small patch of grass to the entire sky, this is crazy. Mufasa, capitalism, you know, and so on and so on.

Poop Guy:

Until me and my now wife moved south, we used to live in Northern Virginia (never do this, what a poo poo hole) and she worked as head receptionist at one of the local vet offices. One of the employees under her, we'll call him Pguy, had a serious issue with hygiene. He would often use the restroom and obviously not wash his hands, which would leave them reeking of poo poo to the point of customer and co-worker complaints. It was also not uncommon for him to get up out of his chair only to release a gag-worthy plume of BO and rear end smell.

So how does this make him crazy/a sociopath? Well, if confronted about it he would fly into a literal red faced rage, screaming and getting into his accuser's face. This method of intimidation was so common that eventually nobody would call him on his stink because it "just wasn't worth it". Needless to say management at this vets office was spineless, so there was no way a 5+ year employee was going to get canned for something as minor as stinking up half the lobby and violently yelling at his coworkers.

dairy farmers are pretty crazy, my grandfather was one. he was a legit pyromaniac and would make bombs to blast stumps out of his pasture, sometimes getting an erection doing it, also he was a transvestite and would pick up prostitutes and pay them just to hang out with them when he was all dolled up like judy garland

But some of the sheer stupid crazy poo poo my co workers of all ages and nationalities spit out on a daily basis is amazing.

Like chemtrails guy. Or this dude who follows the Norse religion. Or the really loud guys who think they are funny and smart but aren't because no you aren't cool for threatening to beat a doctor for not giving you pain meds. Or the old lady who moved to Florida but told me I am unworthy of living in my home state for not liking the Patriots. Or the wackadoos trying to claim the death penalty might stop people from doing bad things and we should go back to public executions because that might work more better.

I think that people who volunteer on political campaigns / politicians suffer from megalomania and a gross sense of self-importance / general psychopathy or they are quite young. In all cases they could be very dangerous / extremely annoying. If you see one coming towards you it is acceptable to use lethal force in defense
