I have a coworker that moved here from Iran 5 years ago. I'm not sure if there are still large cultural norms he doesn't understand or if it's just his personality.

I just told him we have the 16th off as a holiday and he says "why?" *Goes and looks at calendar and reads out loud* "Martin Luther King birthday? Huh, that's my birthday too. They must give holiday for the important brown people like us"

This was in a conference room in front of 5 people.

I like talking to him about anything that doesn't have to do with work. He has some very interesting perspectives on the world. He lived in I think Turkey or maybe UAE for a couple years before here

When it comes to actual work stuff he drives me insane. Ever heard the expression "too smart to be useful?" That's him. Very smart but over thinks and over complicates EVERYTHING.

Might just have to sneak some liquor into him at work. He makes dumb decisions while drinking.

He got a DUI last month.

Remodel is when you change the brand of the house
