I have to get this out. And I can't do it elsewhere.

My coworker looks exactly like Ernie the Keebler elf.



It is uncanny. I have to consciously make sure I'm not staring at him in meetings because I'm captivated. I mean, slap a hat on his head and swap his sensible blue buttondown for a green jacket and he could bake you some Club crackers in a hollowed out tree like whoa.

I can't tell any of my coworkers about this because he's sort of universally beloved (go figure, he's cheery). But I had to tell someone.

[05heel]

You should totally say something. He likely already knows and would be flattered.

Just kidding. How tall is he?

[isabel]

I mean, surely you're not the only person who sees this? He can be beloved while also looking like a Keebler Elf. lolol

I think he's about my height, maybe a little taller since I'm usually in heels at work. I'm 5'5". Can't be more than about 5'8".

Please tell me he likes to bake. Please. Just lie to me if you have to.

Lol. Not to my knowledge.

He DOES enjoy birding (legit). Probably because he lives in a tree.

Pictures.

I'm still new enough that I haven't totally figured everyone else out yet. The person who probably agrees with me and would laugh is also my boss. I'm still trying to appear professional to her.

You need to follow him home. Then blackmail him with your knowledge of his secret and demand payment in Fudge Stripe cookies.

[ginger]

LOL

I have one that looks like adult Tommy Pickles...




It's...strange.

Good plan. I could eat an entire package of Fudge Stripes in one sitting.

Well, one day when you're past all of that, I'd like you to update us on how this conversation goes. I'm still chuckling.

I have a customer that looks straight up like Franklin the Turtle.

Omg I did too when I worked at the jewelry store. He was a customer of mine and my immediate supervisor, we always forgot his name and would ask if turtle was coming in that day for XYZ.

He also uses "oh okay" as his version of "umm" and it drives me BONKERS

At the next office event you have to snap a picture, and then for the love of GOD leave it up long enough for all of us to see it. THen you can take it down, but none of this, I'll keep it up for a while but then you take it down after about a minute and a half.

[mrsd2006]

I have a coworker that looks like Paul Ryan. You guys are lucky.

Has he ever called your work product "uncommonly good"?

I'm hysterical laughing about this. For real. Hee hee.

[alexis]

I once had an orientation meeting that was led by a guy who looked and sounded exactly like the elf that wants to be a dentist in Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. He was really short too.

[rosiebear]

There is a kid in my son's scout troop who looks EXACTLY like Beavis.

[candreco]

LOL, I have a customer who looks like this too.

[litebright]

I feel like if Ernie the elf had an evil brother who went into politics, that he would look like Jeff Sessions. The round, rosy cheeks, the prominent ears ...

[vanlatte]

I work with a Papa Smurf, and I'm positive he doesn't see the resemblance. I'm just glad I wasn't the first one who mentioned it between a few of my fellow coworkers.

[Aloe Vera]

I used to have a boss who looked exactly like Nick Nack from The Man With a Golden Gun.



Everytime I saw him, I couldn't help but think about Nick Nack saying "Mr.Scaramanga".

[themysteriouswife]

We know someone who looks like the old man from UP. It's so hard to look at him. He even wears his pants pulled high.

[hisno1girl]

We have a priest who sounds like the Munchkins from The Wizard of Oz.

I could get through Mass as long add I didn't make eye contact with certain people because then I'd lose it and start giggling. It's so hard to stiffle laughter in a quiet church.

[mrs.jacinthe]

I used to work with a guy who could have been Will Wheaton's brother. The resemblance was uncanny. They even sounded similar.
