Let's say an employee tells new co-worker on his second or third day, "A woman in the building has been checking you out. She says you're a hunk of burning love." Naturally, the co-worker is flattered and feels his ego being somewhat inflated, as well as already feeling welcomed at his job, since he's apparently handsome to someone there.
About a week later, his "secret admirer" shows up. The employee then says, "There she goes." Turns out that the woman is not just unattractive, but also has huge warts all over her skin. On top of that, she's mentally ill, and I don't just mean in the "normal" sense like a person (such as Kanye West, Pete Davidson, etc.) who's capable of raising a family and is currently seeing a therapist. I am instead referring to deranged people [some of whom are homeless and/or drug addicts] loose on the streets who have B.O. and talk to themselves while acting crazy and making a scene. The man's "secret admirer" definitely falls in that category. She doesn't work in the building, but simply delivers packages to the loading dock where the employee, her co-worker and the staff are stationed.
Apparently, a lot of these street messengers have mental illnesses. Please don't take this the wrong way, as I am NOT stereotyping. It's just something I've noticed. I kid you not, one messenger actually urinated on himself while falling asleep in a chair outside of the loading dock's messenger center where he was waiting for his outgoing package to be brought down. This upset the messenger center's manager who had to clean off the soiled chair.
Was the employee out of line for gassing her co-worker's head like that, on top of the fact that she basically insulted him by choosing a nasty-looking woman to use in her prank?
