Just make sure you bleach it to kill all your DNA and wipe your fingerprints off the bottle. He may try to use it in a crime.

sounds like he's purchasing it for DNA analysis. Make him sign a quick word document contract that forbids him from using it against you or something like that. Do it in the presence of two witnesses. Bottom line: do it for the ca$h!

Yeah, something weird is going on... can't say what. Have you tried asking him why he wants it so bad?

Couldn't the guy just find any bottle or cup from a trashcan??
And this doesn't really explain much about buying the sharpie from the other co-worker.

I think it's more likely going to be a scam or something. I'd buy it anyways though 😛

Me too. Could be indicative of some looming breakdown or something. Best case scenario, he wants to be funny and peculiar and leave you with an interesting story/memory of him. Worst case, he's got some kind of sick fetish. Did your other coworker chew on the sharpie? Ask him if he'll still take it if you get to wash it first.

Likely shens, but would be slightly alarming to me if true.
 
pretty obvious he's building an amusement park off Costa Rica and needs your DNA to reconstruct and clone you. Duh.

Is it a Nalgene? Im looking at the same bottle on my desk right now. What is this guy's email?
 
so...i just called a friend in HR and she said it isn't against company policy in any way that she can see. She said it would be looked at as a "gift" and other people sell things like make-up or tupperware also. She said she would take the money and wouldn't spend it for a few days. god...this is wierd.
 
lol. Hes gonna come in tomorrow with an AK and mow down the office. I'd plan on staying home sick the next few days if I were you.
 
you can sell it and then use the money to buy MORE nalgene bottles...and then sell them to him. Tell him you'll give him a discount if he buys 5 at a time...

Seriously, I wouldnt do it. It's too weird, and $200 is not worth it IMO to get involved in something like this or to satisfy someone's weird fetish.
 
"well he was always a nice guy, always joking around, but he did have this weird thing where he bought this guys sharpie for 100 bucks and my water bottle for 200 but we never would have thought they would find 20 bodies buried in his back yard or that he would go on a killing rampage!"
 
Wow, creepy indeed.

But having said that I would take his money and buy another water bottle. And the paranoid in me would never mention that bottle ever again. 😛
 
well it makes perfect sense to me. He needs the sharpie to label the water bottle that will contain your spleen by the end of the day.
 
I love how ATOT members can produce pics of anything at a seconds notice just to prove it's not shens. :laugh:

Anyways, show us pics of the guy.
