1. What a sad situation

I am sorry for you and for all involved.

I suspect that the other lab techs consider this fellow harmless and feel sorry for him. Perhaps they know him and are only getting to know you.

I have been in these situations often enough and I cannot ignore them either- which is the standard response that I used to get.

My only thoughts at this time is to do the old "wear a wedding/engagement ring thing" and have a pretend spouse or boyfriend, or SO.

If he is mentally disabled, be might then move on to the next imaginary possible suitor. If he has worked there a long time, the management is not taking these situations seriously.

Good luck, I am sorry that you are suffering with this and I look forward to hearing what the wise folks on this board suggest.
