Dealing with psycho analyst behavior

I need some advice. I’m in a really chill group at an EB outside NYC. Everyone is awesome except for this one third year analyst. He rode the bench on a big d1 sports team (a BIG one) and he treats the office like a fucking locker room.

It was funny at first, but it’s really starting to drive me fucking crazy. For some reason the rest of the bullpen seems to tolerate it (probably because there’s only one girl junior) I’ve asked him to stop or made comments and he either makes some dumb joke or straight up ignores me. Idk what to do.

Examples of what this guy does: -Wears loafers without socks and prides himself on how awful his feet smell at the end of the day. He will kick off his shoes around 4-5pm to “let the dogs breathe” and will hoot and whistle about how rank the scent is today.

-Constantly “adjusting” himself while in full view of everyone and standing up talking to people.

-Announces that he’s gonna rip ass and just let’s it fly. I told him that was vile and he said “if we can’t take his heat, get out of his kitchen”

-I was finishing up at the urinal and was reading and email and he asked me “bad case of stage fright when big papa rolls in huh?” and then came back and announced to the pen that I can’t pee around him.

-Constantly commenting about people using the bathroom ex. asking someone coming back “rate that shit out of ten” or “John is back from dropping some serious heat” and keeping stats on how many times a week ppl shit.

Am I crazy for thinking this behavior is absolutely ridiculous and not appropriate at all for the office?

Controversial

Honestly sounds pretty funny to me... guessing you weren't much of a locker room guy. Sure, some of it is juvenile, but let me give you some advice... You're letting this bro behavior live rent free in your head to the point you feel the need to post about it on a forum and ask for advice. I'd recommend finding a way to not let the things people do around you (that are seemingly innocuous for the most part) bother you so much. 

 

There’s a difference between what people do around you and when you become the target of something i.e. the comments directed at me and others

Who knew that telling someone to be stoic and not let things bother them could be so controversial; the human race seems doomed...

 

imagine spending 16 hours of your day around smelly feet, farts and a guy fiddling his privates right in your face, asking someone to remain stoic about that sounds like autism   

 

You have to assert your dominance. Start by slipping in 50mg Russian Tsar Bomba pouches (can be smuggled in from Europe) into his 6mg citrus flavored zyns every morning until he develops a stage 5 crippling nic addiction. You also need to completely stop showering. You should be able to overpower the musk from his dirty dogs by your own stench. Nothing says you have the biggest balls in the office by making it smell like an unwashed high school gym pinnie.

Finally, you need to be able to successfully navigate “locker room culture”. I would start by cold calling former pro athletes for coffee chats think (NFL, NBA, NHL) to get a better day-to-day understanding. Keep a towel by your side at all times and learn how to efficiently “towel-whip” (see wikihow.com for instructions) to never be caught lacking.

By following these steps I believe you’ll be on the right track to top-bucket and top dawg in the office. I can guarantee he won’t mess with you after that. Let me know how it goes!

Why is everyone so passive aggressive here. If this analyst bothers you so much tell him his feet are disgusting and make fun of him.

When he makes another bathroom monitoring comment announce on the floor that he has a weird obsession with other men's chitting habits and whether he's projecting any internally confusing thoughts about men's asshole activities.

Stuff like that.  Don't whine here...call him out

 

Honestly sounds funny - I feel like every bullpen needs some sort of entertaining person (doesn't have to be like this guy but some person out of the norm) to keep things light and chill. If you're around a bunch of hardos with no personality the long nights feel longer. I wish we had someone like this, part of the reason why I love when interns are around becuase they seemingly add more character to the office

 

Was d3 athlete and varisty in high school. This is exceptionally retarded, egotistical behavior and I would encourage you to conk him on the face with a cartoon-sized anvil like in Looney Toons. IDK what sport he played but I've basically wasted 1000s of hours on a field & never tolerated such boorish bullshit

f....fuck,man...
 

Unfortunately you can do nothing except changing of environment. going to an other department in the same company or simply going to an other company

but get used to meet this type of people, its more and more common in today's society. generally they are a good hint that you're not at the right place, you deserve better

 

Idk man, I think its probably inappropriate, but who cares lol. I'd probably just deal with it and stay away from him. He isn't hurting anyone. 

 

Sounds disgusting. If he's really that annoying I'd dish it to him just once but in full view & earshot of the team. Don't get into a 1v1 pissing war with anyone, but just next time he does some dumb shit in front of the entire team be like "X, are you a fucking cave man? Seriously, it's disgusting. This isn't the USC locker room and you sure as fuck aren't Caleb Williams. It's like locker room cancer, good christ, figure it out" 

A quick but well-deserved tongue lashing in a moment of genuinely understandable frustration or disgust is socially acceptable in IB and it will also demonstrate that you aren't the guy to bring that nonsense around.
