Tell us about the various and sundry jokers/loonies/career criminals you work /worked with....

Walter Mitty types...
One feller got the push and told everyone he had had to leave as he was wanted by the local mafia and needed to disappear.

Another involuntary leaver cultivated a large group of international superstars as close personal friends through his new job as security for tv programs filming on location

Then there was the feller from one of the former colonies who was a bassist for Men Without Hats.....

Disclaimer: I get to say loony with impunity as a person in poor mental health, just ask my friends Richard Burton and Wendy Craig.

One person who worked at my mc claimed he had won £1m on the lottery, but continued working and also working overtime. Colleagues didn't particularly disbelieve him until he claimed to have won the lottery again a few months later.

Once van shared with a driver who must have crashed into things at least 30 times in the 6 days I was with them. Luckily never a person, someone's car or other property, but yorks in the yard, lampposts, them green electrical box things, all sorts! The thing that made it terrifying is they acted like it never happened, not a even a flinch or an 'oops'.
