It’s not just romantic relationships that require boundaries—they’re vital at work, too. When everyone treats each other with respect in the workplace, you can focus on your job. But if someone lacks self-awareness and they’re blind to personal boundaries, it can make your day-to-day life hell and genuinely scare you.
Inspired by u/GreasyTobey, the folks at r/AskReddit spilled the tea about the creepiest things they’ve heard and seen at work, both from colleagues and clients. We’ve collected some of their most disturbing stories to share with you. Read on to check them out. Meanwhile, if you have any creepy work stories of your own, feel free to share them in the comments.

More unsettling than creepy TBH. I was checking the voicemail at the dialysis clinic when I opened one morning because sometimes our patients will leave us a message the night before if they know they're going to be late or miss treatment. Sweet elderly patient had left a message that said "I'm sorry ladies, I won't make it tomorrow morning. I'm going to see Hazel." Hazel was his wife who passed away 4 years earlier. I immediately called house- no answer. Called his son that was listed as an emergency contact and he tells me he was just about to call us to let us know his father passed away in the night.
His dad had gotten all of his paperwork with his will out of his safe, watered the house plants, put money for each of his utility payments in labeled envelopes, put on his best suit, shined his dress shoes, left a message for us at the clinic, left a message for his choir director letting him know he wouldn't need a ride to practice in two days, then he sat down in his recliner and died. (As far as I know and according to his family he didn't do or take anything to expedite his exit, he just went to sleep in that recliner).

I think my grandma knew somehow, too, she wasn't sick tho. The day before she passed she wanted to visit her old house, relatives, and called almost everybody in the family. Not to say goodbye, but just to talk. The next day she had a heart attack.

My dad left the room where his identical twin was very ill. Dad went to get coffee and was gone no more than a few minutes. His twin passed in that few minutes, but my dad said he knew it happened as he was pouring his coffee. Very hard time for him and our family.

PSimms even if there was some kind of "intervention" it's nobody's business. If he had the care he needed and he decided to leave in his own terms, when he felt ready to go, it's a personal decision. His life, his choice. I wish everybody had the opportunity to "leave" this world as peacefully as this gentleman.

I worked as a patient care technician in a hospital. And I was giving a bath to an aphasiac patient (totally coherent, but can’t speak due to a stroke some 10 years back). My badge got caught in her hair as I leaned over her. She all of a sudden said “Ow.” This woman hasn’t spoken since her stroke, so we were both very surprised. I looked at her with my mouth open, dumb in astonishment. She was just as shocked, but she knew the message she wanted to get out. “I want to die,” she said quickly like she’s been wanting to say it for a long time. She looked directly into my eyes. “What?” I asked idiotically. “Let me die,” she repeated as clear as the first time. “What do you mean?” I asked. There was a long pause and I saw her face shift to a disappointed frown. She wasn’t going to speak again.I told the nurse and charge nurse. Then I got busy and soon my shift was over. I came back the next day, and her room was filled with flowers, “Feel better” balloons, and a bunch of family. Her husband was sitting on her bed flipping through a photo album and showing pictures of when they were young to the family. I could tell by her face how angry she was. She would not look at them. And I realized that the husband and this family have medical power of attorney over her, so they decide if she lives or not. And they won’t listen to her. I look around the room: her IV, her feeding tube, her oxygen. All there to help her live because they want her to. She’s done, but they won’t let her go. And she’s trapped inside her head wanting to rest and be done with the hospital, be done with her long suffering. Totally coherent but unable to decide anything for herself because we can’t hear her. I think of that often and it’s a nightmare scenario for me. So scary.

I tell everyone in my life: do an advance care directive/living will/whatever you call it in your country, the legal document where you state your wishes for withdrawing treatment. And, just as importantly, talk to your family and make sure they know what you want to happen. Also, do a will even if you don't have assets you care about dividing or if you have one clear next of kin that you figure will obviously inherit everything anyway. It's going to make it so much easier for your loved ones to settle your affairs, because being named your executor in your will means they have the authority to act for you. Without that, even with an uncontested will they're going to be waiting on a legal process to be given that authority. Oh, and also - in most jurisdictions, power of attorney ceases at death. So don't think somebody having power of attorney means they'll retain that authority when you die. They likely won't.

During the Schiavo debacle, there was an update on TV that I watched standing next to my teenaged daughter. I told her, "If that ever happens to me, just let me go, don't wait. If they won't let you unplug me, kill me -- suffocate me with a pillow, whatever does the job." She said, "ooooo, I don't know if I could do that. You'd better ask the boy child." Tell my son the same thing, he says [with both thumbs up], "I got you covered. No worries." Make sure you have your own living will folks.

I’m a teacher that works at the school that I went to. I’ve ran into a few creeps at other schools (and reported who I’ve needed to; students, please talk to trusted adults and we can and will get things done) but the creepiest one I’ve heard came from the creep’s own mouth and was from a teacher that started when I was a junior. I was talking to him in the hallway. He was a liked teacher when I went there and was still there when I came back. I brought up the valedictorian from my class. Him: “Yeah, she was nice. None of you knew I was even with her back then.” Me: “…what?” Him: “oh yeah. She was a cutie patootie. Much hotter than the senior girls today.” I reported that s**t faster than a gunslinger. Would you believe that one of the senior girls immediately came forward. F****r probably doesn’t like prison. Good. And I can’t hear “cutie patootie” without feeling nauseous anymore.

The problem with just telling kids to report things like that to a trusted adult is that so many adults can’t be trusted to do the right thing and report it to the correct authorities. Some refuse to believe them, others tell the perpetrator, and still others couldn’t keep a secret if their lives depended on it, so things only get worse for the kid. You have to PROVE yourself trustworthy first, or the poor kid will just give up and unnecessarily continue suffering in silence until they can somehow manage to find a truly trustworthy person to help them, or simply escape on their own the first chance they get—-or continue the cycle of abuse. Believe kids when they tell you something bad is happening to them. At least until you investigate it thoroughly and find out exactly what is happening. Don’t be biased against the child and in favor of the abuser, who may be able to charm others into thinking they could never do anything bad. Remember, John Wayne Gacy was a popular birthday party clown in his neighborhood. People trusted him around their kids. He had them all completely fooled.

You're the Annie Oakley we need. Or the Andy Oakley? Either way, sling those guns.
When dealing with someone behaving inappropriately at work, communication is everything. Unless the other person suddenly becomes extremely self-aware, the odds are that they’ll continue doing what they’ve been doing. That is unless someone calls them out for their behavior.
You can start things off very simply. Very calmly tell your problematic colleague that you don’t appreciate them doing something the next time they overstep your boundaries. By all means, be assertive, but don’t sound accusatory or judgmental. Make your boundaries very clear.
If your coworker is reasonable at all, they’ll change their behavior after you bring up the problem. Some folks have an issue with self-awareness. They don’t understand how their actions impact the people around them.

When I was an apprentice a man walked into the shop asking for a tattoo of “something” on his upper thigh. He kept staring at me while talking to the artist. He ended up going on this whole thing about how he needed the tattoo because he was being sent to jail soon for sexually touching a kid and wanted to get a tattoo on his upper thigh so he can say he never touched her because she couldn’t say he had a tattoo. He left and we reported him to the police. The next day they came down to take a statement from everyone that was present.

Bull and pies. The whole point of religion isn't to be magically protected from danger and to have all your problems solved for you. It's to give you the strength and hope you need to carry on in spite of these things, with grace and goodness to others. I've never been religious a day in my life but even I managed to figure that one out. And if that's not how it actually is it sure as hell should be, because if you think otherwise you're dangerously deluded and setting yourself up for an awful lot of disappointment.

People committing blasphemy by using their religion to cover their asses. This is why Jesus said that prostitutes and thieves will pass them!
Others, however… well, if they’re narcissistic enough, they won’t ever admit that they’re wrong. They’ll continue causing chaos and acting creepy because they want to. In that case, it’s probably best to escalate things. Document some examples of their behavior and go talk to human resources, your supervisor, or your boss. Maybe they can help put an end to the toxicity.
Meanwhile, you might feel uncomfortable being anywhere near that coworker. You might want to consider sitting further away from them. Or, if things are seriously bad, you might even want to consider transferring to another department altogether. Though, if that’s the case, it’s an indication that there’s an issue with the entire workplace environment. Looking for another job might be your best way forward. Though, if you have the time and money, you can always seek legal help. There’s no excuse for harassment at work.

I had a patient tell me in graphic detail about how they attempted to sexually assault my co-worker who was on night shift the previous night. He had cornered her in a small med room but she was able to get out luckily. The detail which he went into, the tone, and the way he spoke just made every fibre of my being stand on edge. He said he was going to do it again that night and "They were meant to be together. He would take them both away the next night." Lots of details I don't want to repeat. Everything he told me he was not joking in any way. Management hadn't done a single thing about the attempted assualt the previous night and he was in my care that day. Spoke with his Attending and got him to the right care floor he needed. Our med/cardiac wasn't the right spot for that. I strongly feel that if I hadn't he would have [SAed] her or worse. I've never felt that way before. I imgagine that is our innate primal fear. My whole body was just screaming with anxiety, danger warnings going off. I'll never forget the way he made me feel when he spoke about it. I'm just happy he wasn't able to hurt anyone.

She hated oral sex, forced throating and semen swallowing. She had a Brother who was a U.S. Marine. He was hiding in her bedroom. The man forced her to srtip to her waist and then orally rape her. She said the signal, "I don't want to do that! In the kitchen, she was on her knees, his pants down. "Brute", his nickname, crept up behind the man.

Well that nasty areshole needs his nuts sucked by a vacuum cleaner. Through a cut, in his nuts.
At the end of the day, it’s up to you what your boundaries are, how you communicate them, and how you enforce them. It’s also up to you to decide whether you still want to stay at the company if the problematic individual gets spoken to, reassigned, or fired.
However, in some cases, keep more of an open mind about the importance of having crystal-clear communication about your boundaries. Some individuals aren’t ignoring subtle social norms because they’re ‘creeps.’ As The New York Times Magazine points out, some people can struggle with social cues and behavioral norms because they have autism spectrum disorder. Other folks might be extremely socially awkward. And yet, this is not a blank check to do whatever you want.
“Once the rules have been carefully explained, however, it’s infantilizing to use the condition as an excuse for harmful behavior. It isn’t hard to understand a rule that, say, forbids a supervisor from making sexual or romantic overtures to junior staff members. An adult man on the autism spectrum is an adult man; the spectrum isn’t a certificate of sainthood,” Kwame Anthony Appiah writes.

People don't give stalking the attention it deserves. I kicked my ex out before our first anniversary. He was f*cking nuts, but was able to hide it for a while. He stalked and harassed me for a year. Always managed to get away before the cops showed up. He broke into the house and left my jewelry box on the toaster as a "calling card", he somehow got into the garage and left a shoebox full of the cards and notes I'd given him on the backseat of my car, I could go on & on. They could just never catch him in the act. Finally he left me a voicemail - threatening to kill me and my 2 kids. Caller ID showed the call came from HIS PARENTS HOUSE. Bingo. Officer Pete Gellar came out and could not believe this guys stupidity. He was arrested within the hour and I decided to move while he was in jail. Scariest year of my life.

My bf used to work at a place that had a very toxic environment between the coworkers. One of my bf's coworkers (let's call him MS) was a very nice guy who somehow got lucky with a LOT of ladies. So when my bf came back to work after we had our first daughter, this really awful man of a coworker told MS that in just about 20 years my bf's newly born daughter could be one of MS' women..... 🤨 still makes me angry to think about.

I was an auto tech at a dealership and I was in the service advisor booth talking to one of the writers. A car pulled in and the woman happened to be yawning. Suddenly I heard “that’s right, open your mouth wide. I’ve got something to fill it”. I looked at the writer and said “do you realize that is my wife?”. I’ve never seen a 6’2” guy shrink so fast in my life. All he did the rest of the day was apologize, every time I saw him.

I’m a 63 year old woman, who heard b******t like that directed at myself from creepy men back in the day, and got fed up with it back then. I always called the a******s out for it too. Loudly. Anyway, I think I’ll very loudly use a variation of this if I hear anyone do this when I’m around. “That’s my daughter/granddaughter/son/grandson you’re talking to/about.” I have always just loved to see a******s like that just shrivel up and die of shame, so this will help increase the number of opportunities for me to see it happen again. And again. And again.

I worked at a grocery store when I was 18. My dad had just died suddenly and it was my first day back at work after the funeral. This weird guy (co worker)would always go out of his way to talk to me ( I was in charge of self checkout). So he’s like “I heard your dad died” I said “yeah”. Then he tells me this sick story about how he used to work at a funeral home and would put the dead body’s in sexual positions?!?! I walked away and told my supervisor that it was inappropriate. Idk disturbing ETA: I feel like I should mention the fact that the “ manager” decided I talk to much, prior to this conversation with coworker, so I was essentially “ banned” from talking with my coworkers but this dude would make a point of always coming over to where I was, just to say stupid s**t to me.

“I’m not a bad person! Just let me show you.!” Yelled the twitchy guy who tried to shut the door to my leasing agents office. The four guys who re-opened that door a split second later let him know we didn’t believe him. The background check after his rental application that found 28 convictions for sex crimes and the current pending charges said that he was not a nice guy at all. Scared the c**p out of all of us and creeped us out, especially when we realized he was one of more than 30 REGISTERED sex offenders living in a 3 block radius.

Eh, don't be too freaked out by that number. Getting caught peeing on the side of the highway late at night when there's almost no traffic will net you registration on the sexual offenders registry. Be more concerned about the number of actual violent sexual assaults that go uninvestigated every year, and how most of the offenders are not on any sort of registry and have no arrests/convictions.

Yeah, there are a few things besides SA that can get you registered including the vast number of consensual high school romances of less than 3 year age gap. You can argue that teens shouldn’t be having sex, but we all know they will, but once one of them turns 18, they can have to register if the other’s parents are against it or if they’re accidentally found out.

Then she asked to have me take to the check cashing. After 18 months like this, her father died. She lost her mind. I changed my work hours to early morning. She began to tell police I was touching her. Every month before check cashing. I was arrested but my time sheets proved I had not done anything. A cow-orker man told me he had been stalked. He put hidden cameras over his whole house. After a fight, his GF told the police she was raped. Cops came and he showed them MANY video tapes of their sex, with dates proven by Newspapers recorded. She ended up in prison for 3 years, lying to police etc

The SO registry is really just security theater. It makes people think they are dpoing something to make people safe, but the truth is it does nothing other than make the lives of the offenders difficultt. The registry requirments apply equally to compulsive serial child racists, the married couple caught doing it in the park, and the mentallly ill person who waved his genitals at the hallucination he saw.

I would very much assume that people like them only can get in talks with other people when they aren't able to take distance, like in situations such as this. They just talk like that to everyone, and unfortunately, they most of the time get away with it. The private situations presumably also feel like (falsely) intimate and make socially awkward or dysfunctional people to act like the other person was their best friend, significant other, or sometimes, just a free counselor instead. Some psychologically dysfunctional people also think that a friendly or a merely polite (forced or unavoidable) chat means that they're in a relationship.

It depends on the country. Nowadays in Spain funerals are held in a kind of "funeral shopping centre" (that's the vibes I get) where there are different rooms and a different funeral in each room. There's also a common area, a cafeteria, and some shops (flowers and the like). Perhaps the family thought she was attending a different funeral in the same building and was looking for the right room. I've been to a few funerals and I think people are in shock, or just too tired to pay attention. If the dead person had been sick for a long time, the family members are exhausted. In some funerals I attended Pope Francis himself could appear riding a unicorn and nobody would have batted an eyelid.

Since he had daughters my age, I stupidly assumed he was just acting sort of "fatherly". Nope! About a year and a half later, we ended up working the same shift. He asked me if I could keep a secret. I said sure. He said that he thinks that I have a "fantastic figure" especially "from the waist down". He asked me if I worked out and even asked me about my sex life. I noped out of that room as soon as I could.

I remember being 12 years old, standing in a Dollar Tree and eating an ice cream when a man old enough to be my grandfather looked me right in the eyes while talking to a co-worker and said "She looks like she's enjoying that ice cream" with the most disgusting grin on his face. I've never forgotten it. Mind you, this was a total stranger, and I was 12. Tall for my age, but still very clearly 12. I've never forgotten it.

One time I was working close at a gift shop and the batteries started failing in a row of singing dancing dalmatians I'd just been straightening on the shelf. They all began singing various distorted parts of "singing in the rain" while their plastic gears ground painfully for how slowly they were doing their lopsided little dances. I turned them all off and hauled the vacuum out so I could drown out the blood screaming through my ears for the abruptness of it all.

Had a professor for one class who was kinda flirty in that Southern old man way, maybe in his late 60s. I'm used to it and didn't react. I'm 20 yrs old at this point and I said something in class about being married. He backed up from me and said--in front of the whole class--"I wouldn't have flirted with you if I knew you were married!"
