For no other reason than I'm making a very low maintenance dinner right now, I'm going to list some of the random people I encountered temping in the 90s and early 00s.

-guy in the Sealed Knot who one day brought his sword and breastplate into work so we could have swordfighting lessons at lunchtime

-guy who regarded socks as disposable and wore a brand new pair each day (in Major's economy!)

-guy who got let go for saying "motherfucking" in every sentence in the staff canteen, which he probably shouldn't have done, although the person who dobbed him in did so for primarily racist reasons (years later his band was on Groundforce)

-girl who invited me to her house for a smoke and with the benefit of three decades of wisdom I'm guessing she might have expected more from the evening?

-Poor woman who went temporarily blind on seeing a spider in the warehouse (what was called hysterical blindness but would now be termed conversion disorder, I think)

-Guy who I spent a whole week stuffing envelopes with, we had really good deep chats for four solid days but then he got in a huff because I was sceptical that Jesus literally did miracles etc

@internetsdairy This thread is both surprisingly non sequitur and surprisingly delightful. Meeting strange characters was definitely one of few advantages of temp work. I hope to never have to do it again.
