You can set your watch by Kai Ryssdal’s dental hygiene. When he emerges from the restroom — toothbrush in hand, breath minty fresh — and begins his brisk walk toward the studio, you know it’s very nearly 2 p.m. sharp, when Marketplace tapes live every weekday.

Its Kai’s self-proclaimed weirdest work ritual and look, we all have them, even if you don’t work in an office. From her home in Oakland, California, Molly Wood schedules conference calls around her dog’s schedule. Bystanders might think she’s executing a walk-and-talk with a furry, pooping Josiah Bartlett.

This week on Make Me Smart, Kai and Molly are celebrating these and all workplace quirks with Jennifer Romolini, author of “Weird in a World That’s Not: A Career Guide for Misfits, F*ckups, and Failures.” 

In that spirit, I asked the Marketplace staff and all of you about your strangest workplace habits. You didn’t disappoint. Fair’s fair though. I’ll start:

She sent a picture:
