Reddit user GreasyTobey asked: 'Whats the creepiest thing you've heard someone at your job say?'

More often than not, conversations that take place at a workplace have nothing to do with the job at hand.

Be it "water cooler talk" over favorite TV shows, or gossiping with your colleague in the break room, candid conversations often seem necessary to pass the time at work, no matter how inappropriate the conversation.


Sometimes, however, conversations, or what we overhear might tread into slightly unexpected territory.

Resulting in our leaving work feeling more than a little unsettled, and having trouble getting to sleep that night.

Redditor GreasyTobey was curious to hear the creepiest things people heard someone say while they were on the clock, leading them to ask:

"Whats the creepiest thing you've heard someone at your job say?"

A Touching Premonition

"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."-ginniper

Necrophiliacs Anonymous?

"Open casket funeral, family gathered and someone seemed out of sorts."

"She was dressed casually and just kind of meandering about. I observed her for a while, she made her way to the casket and appeared to be giving the deceased some reverence."

"She then had to pass by me to leave and she was clearly inebriated and said to me as she was leaving 'I just wanted to see a dead body'."

"Gave me the drunk girl grin and staggered off."

"She just staggered into a funeral off the street, who does that?"

"Funeral Director."- Scallywag357

Is There Something To Run From?

"Directed towards me, one of our guys on his smoke break said, 'you don’t look like you run fast'.”

"In the moment I laughed but as soon as I stepped inside our building I had the biggest wtf moment of the year."

"He was a lean dude, teeth missing the rest orange and brown, with clothes on that a dude with a machete would be wearing in a horror movie."

"I hadn’t even been there two weeks."

"He was a cool guy for the rest of the interactions I’ve had with him."

"Never chased me."

"He just had weird sense of humor."- Nixelidia

Wrong Number?

"Worked in a donut shop where we also made custom cakes."

"Guy calls in asking for a custom cake."

"I ask him the standard questions - what size would you like, would you like it to be any particular color, etc."

"Then starts graphically detailing a sex scene, and I quickly realized he was not talking about a cake."-Reasonable_Raise_790

Some People Take Pranking More Seriously Than Others

"One night every single desktop computer in the lab and office shut down all at once."

"We weren't scheduled to push any system updates so I was worried something else was going on when they all restarted and all mirrored each other to bring up word pad and text to speech started all chanting 'GO HOME ANGSTY!'"

"Over and over."

"I immediately knew it was one of the admins f*cking with me, but it scared the hell out of me as it had been hours of dim basement lighting and silence when he did it."- Angsty_Potatos

"This customer always flirted with me and always gave me gifts or money, but what really threw me off was him telling me about his new job where he’d be making 100$ an hour overseas for a few months and said when he gets back, he’ll have enough money to buy me."- Alive_Ad823

You hear all sorts of things when at work.

More often than not, things you would never expect to hear.

In very unlucky circumstances, you might hear things you would give anything to not have heard.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.
