i maintain that a guy who I work with,
... If you wrote his character into the original of The Office, it would get binned for bein unrealistic.

He has wispy, semi-long, greying hair, and his shaving routine is to take it all off once every six months. He wears old, stained tracksuits, and smokes roll-ups, which have given the front of his brown teeth a lovely dark stain all over his filling. He is an IT geek, fancies himself as more intelligent than everybody, and talks deliberately in a bored monotone. He is actively sarcastic and rude, and if you give him the chance he'll tell you about how many girls he's slept with, and how all the gay guys in the office fancy him. He has thick, milk-bottle bottoms glasses, and is - of course - a black belt in tae kwon do - he could kill you if he wanted. As soon as he heard I was from public school he refused to discuss departmental issues with me, and his dyed-in-the-wool punk credentials are confirmed by his stories of having blue dreadlocks before anyone here knew him.

I think I might be gay for him, thinking about it.
