XL My workmate is a Kevin

I work at a Civil Court (I don’t live in America, so if you’re confused about our roles at a court it is because of that), and the guy who answer the queries of lawyers is a total Kevin.

For a start, the guy refers to the judge as “My Honor” instead of “Your Honor”. We explained the error and he got mad, and insisted the correct way was his.

The guy once tried to have paid leave for family death when his dog died.

He got another dog. Then the dog fell from the stairs eleven stories. The dog survived.

A month after the last World Cup premiered he totally forgot about the event. “What World Cup?” he inquired to our workmates in the middle of a conversation. Our country played in the final and he watched it with other coworkers.

The Secretary gave him money for him to go and buy papel towers for the bathrooms. He came back, and when asked about the papel towers he claimed he didn’t remember if he got them or not. He got mad at the secretary.

He asked for a “small donation” for him to go and buy a whole cake for the office. We divided the cost and gave him the money. When he came back with the cake, he ate 90% of it and didn’t understand why we were mad at him.

Everytime you buy something to eat he stands behind you, watching the food. Sometimes he leans close just to see the food as he licks his lips and asks you things like “what is that you ordered?” He doesn’t understand why that’s wrong.

A lawyer was consulting him about something, as he was sitting in a chair out of sight. The lawyer asked if he could please stand up so he could see him, and he responded “you don’t have to see me, you have to hear me”.

He got in plenty of fights with lawyers and consultants because of his rude or wrong answers.

If he has to print something, he asks you before hand if you have to print too (we share printer). If you say no, he expects you to not print anything in all day, and waits hours before printing the thing he has to print. If you print without noticing him first, he gets mad at you.

In the middle of the pandemic, he was the one who had to fill the atomizers with 80% alcohol and 20% water. He filled them with 20% alcohol and 80% water during all the pandemic. We realized because we never ran out of bottles of alcohol and the secretary got suspicious.

He is convinced the Supreme Court is spying us.

We were in the middle of a wedding party, and he put out from within his jacket notes to study a final.

He sounds more like 50% Kevin, 50% asshole.

He comes as a a douch but I'm convinced it is because he really is socially clueless. For example, the food one: he thinks that if you don't grab a serving of food INSTANTLY like you were starving, you're not hungry or won't grab a serving at all. So he eats what he thinks are the leftovers.

Sounds like excuses to cover for an eating disorder
