Ah, another wonderful example of a ridiculous idea being implemented in an office because of someone’s complaints. In this case, no one was so happy about everyone’s dirty fingers reaching in and touching the eating ends of the office spoon stash. Okay, that’s understandable, but what on Earth was the person who invented this “solution” thinking?
There are about a dozen other things that come to mind solving this problem before an enormous spoon. Tongs, vertical containers that only expose the butt-end of the spoon, so as to protect the coveted eating side. But nope, their minds went straight for this giant scooper. Wonder if they came up with an actual solution after this image went viral?
Some like it hot
If you’ve worked an office job, you know that things seem to break at least every once in a while. But people need their coffee to function in the office!
At least these coworkers were able to make the best out of a chilly situation. Ted knew it was his time to shine as soon as he saw his opening to use this joke. It’s lucky for the coffee maker, too, because it was probably feeling pretty self-conscious after the first note. Maybe they’ll bring in Mr. Coffee to heat things back up around there.
Where’s Ed?
Apparently, Ed is quite the commodity in this office and people always seem to be searching for him. When they don’t automatically spot him, they ask his closest coworker, who started getting irritated about the repetitive question. So, he designed this sign to hang by his workspace.
Now, when someone comes up and asks if Ed’s at his desk (which happens at least a few times per day,) this guy can simply point to his sign without even looking up from his computer. Do you blame him for trying to make life easier? We’d make a sign, too, if it meant less human interaction around the office! Fortunately, Ed has been around the office a lot more lately, so the sign hasn’t been necessary.
Fort box
Sometimes the stress of working in an office can really take its toll on the employees. And when that happens, it’s important to get away from the madness and take a breather so you can keep your cool. This guy was having a terrible day, but he couldn’t find an area at work where he could take a moment to himself – so he made one!
Yep, he’s pretty much created a new version of the “home office” by building a mini home around his cubicle. While most people probably would have just tossed a blanket over their desk and hid underneath for a little while, he decided to go all out. Check out the attention to detail in his hideaway! He’s even got a chimney and some decorative plants.
Topping the charts
Okay, you know how we said the last joke was cruel? This one definitely takes the cake – although that doesn’t mean that it’s not hilarious. Hey, if you’re going to take something that doesn’t belong to you, you’re going to reap what you sow! Yep. This person’s coworker kept getting into their lunch, so they decided to hit back. This guy was fed up with someone in the office taking his food, so he concocted this lovely note.
Whoever it was probably had a really, really bad day that day, thinking about the consequences of their actions. It was probably a few days, actually, since they had to wait for the test results after the initial doctor’s visit that afternoon! Luckily, they discovered it was just someone’s way of saying “stay away from my food.” They did learn their lesson, though, and started to bring in their own lunch from that point on.
