At my high school, we certainly had a colourful array of cleaning staff.
Sure they were nice and cheerful (well most of them), but they were still a little...wierd.
I know I'm certainly not at uni studying to end up as a cleaner, so it got me wondering, what course in life had these people taken to become cleaners. And also, with escapist users from all over the world here, I ask were your school cleaners a bit odd?

To specify what I mean by wierd...lets see, an insanely obese lady who would simply scoff when a student went by, or a short man who dressed like a pirate (who when students were put on detention with him would simply let them go home - aka awesome fellow).

So were your cleaners odd? I do not mean wierd in a derogitory sense, more in the sense of colourful characters. Any interesting stories to share with the escapist about your cleaners?

On a side note, please no:

Nah...at my school we have two cool janitors. The rest suck.

One is everybody's friend, and the other is just straight up awesome. He was using one of those backpack vacuums and I started humming Ghostbusters. I was surprised when he finished it and yelled "Ghostbusters!"

The cleaner in the Art department of my high school was alright. He was just a normal dude, covered in paint, all of the time. Everyone seemed scared of him, but I'm not sure why. Possibly because he was a normal bloke, and not your average cleaner.

The main school caretaker, on the other hand, was strange. He always had a furtive look on his face, and mumbled to himself constantly.

I remember one janitor from way back during my primary school days (that would be whatever it is before highschool for you yanks) nice guy old and white haired but what stood out about him was he was laways signing. Not sometimes or during cleaning all the fuckin' time, his office was plastered with old memorabilia and posters of marlyn monroe etc and he was always singing all those old 60's songs youd hear on tv wierd ass guy but had alot of personality.

I will now take the time to point out something

Kevin 'Noodles' Wasserman. The guitarist for the Offspring was the Janitor at an elementary scool.
The other members hung out with him because he was old enough to buy them beer and could play a mean guitar.

Huh, they mostly kept to themselves and simply did their job. Didn't find them particularily weird at my school.

In my primary school we had "Uncle Ed!". He was kind of an unofficial janitor, always cleaning and fixing stuff around the school building. Pretty cool guy who looked like Billy Gibbons.

Ive only seen him angry once, when he had to replaster a toilet wall because everyone kept scratching stuff in it with keys.
