The workers want to feel comfortable enough to use them during the day, and the cleaners want to make sure they stay clean and tidy. \nPlease check<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nBecause of this, people keep a watchful eye over this area. When somebody noticed people weren\u2019t flushing the toilet, they decided to give staff a helpful reminder – but didn\u2019t realize that reminder would be taken quite so literally. Now everyone genuinely “checks” the piece of paper when they\u2019ve flushed. Well, if it works… \n \n[post_page_title]Under lock and key[\/post_page_title] \nSome people in the office just don\u2019t understand that things are yours and only yours. Just because it\u2019s in a communal space doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s there for everyone to use. \nUnder lock and key<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThe owner of this carton was obviously fed up with others using their milk, so they went to some pretty extreme lengths to stop it happening. A dedicated colleague could probably still find a way to get the milk out, but we appreciate the effort this person has gone to just to protect their property. \n \n[post_page_title]Lying in wait[\/post_page_title] \nCardboard cutouts make for excellent pranks, especially when they\u2019re of someone as hilarious as Mr. Bean.\u00a0This is the last thing someone expected to see when they went to the restroom at work, so it\u2019s no wonder that the shock almost gave them a heart attack. \nLying in wait<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nMr. Bean\u2019s wide eyes and disturbing smile are actually quite terrifying to look at in a tiny bathroom at work. We wouldn\u2019t be surprised if this poor employee had nightmares after their encounter with this cardboard cutout – we certainly would. \n \n[post_page_title]Have you seen this cat?[\/post_page_title] \nNo office would be complete without a resident funnyman or woman. This person aims to constantly make people laugh and lift the spirits of the employees who would rather be anywhere else but there. \nHave you seen this cat?<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nHowever, constantly finding new and hilarious material can be tough, so they have to be a bit more inventive. We have to give this joker credit for their creativity in making this epic “Have You Seen This Cat?” poster, but we\u2019re pretty upset the tags don\u2019t say, “I have meow.” That would be purrr-fect. \n \n[post_page_title]Stick it to the man[\/post_page_title] \nAlthough we like to think we have a lot of power in the office, the truth of the matter is that everything goes through your boss.\u00a0Everything from the work you have to do, to the amount of free tea and coffee allowed in the break room, to the amount of printing you\u2019re allowed will have to go through those at the top. \nStick it to the man<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nHowever, there are some people who just hate being told what to do, and will do anything to stick it to the man – just like the person responsible for this particular gem. They weren’t allowed to print large jobs, so that\u2019s exactly what they did. \n \n[post_page_title]Smells like pent up frustration[\/post_page_title] \nOffice politics can be a minefield to navigate even at the best of times, especially when it comes to lunchtime. In some offices, that’s a no man’s land few people dare breach. For example, how one person would store their food is not how someone else would. \nSmells like pent up frustration<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nHow one person would clean the kitchen is not how another would. How one person would throw out their trash is not how the passive aggressive co-worker would, and so on. Needless to say that this causes tension, but at least this person had the decency to apologize… in old, smelly ketchup. \n \n[post_page_title]It\u2019s always jammin\u2019 [\/post_page_title] \nYou can never quite rely on office equipment; even brand new bits of tech can go wrong at the worst of times. If you\u2019re in a rush, or you have a big presentation to prepare for, this isn\u2019t ideal. \nIt\u2019s always jammin\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nHowever, you\u2019ve sometimes got to have a bit of humor about the work environment – because after all, it\u2019s not your problem! So next time your printer jams, laugh it off, print off a picture of Bob Marley, and let the world know that everything you print…gonna turn out white. \n \n[post_page_title]Office timetable[\/post_page_title] \nWhen you first start a new job, you are given rules and regulations to adhere to, and even a loose timetable to stick to. It really helps the transition into the new gig easier – knowing pretty much what’s expected of you as the new kid on the block. \nOffice timetable<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nAnd so, you know what time you should get there in the morning to avoid being late, you know what time to have lunch, and you know what time to leave in the afternoon. However, after a few months, these rules seem to slip, and you create your own timetable\u2026 Just like this one. \n \n[post_page_title]Free chicken strips[\/post_page_title] \nIf you\u2019re the kind of person that gets bored easily, you can probably find it tedious to sit down in the same uncomfortable chair and do the same job every single day. We figure especially evil people are punished by doing just that for all eternity. \nFree chicken strips<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nSo, unless you work at Google HQ and have a giant slide in the office, you will normally need to create your own entertainment – without being spotted. The person behind this poster was obviously having a slow day at work, and thought their hilarious joke was a lot funnier than it is. Only two takers? Maybe the others were just chicken. \n \n[post_page_title]Programmers are easily scared[\/post_page_title] \nAlthough most of us know how to behave in an office environment, it can get pretty difficult when different departments are involved. After all, each wing might have its own code of conduct and customs, making it almost like a different culture. \nProgrammers are easily scared<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nDespite that, we’ve personally never heard that programmers are particularly skittish, or that the last thing you want to do is make them cry violently. We like the idea of singing “Ave Maria,” though. Not just when it comes to programmers, but in general. So if you hear the hymn sung softly from behind you, just know that we’re coming. \n \n[post_page_title]Pawfect placing [\/post_page_title] \nThere is always one employee in the office who likes to show off their pride and joys.\u00a0They might bring in pictures of their family vacation and set up a slideshow for everyone to watch, or they might bring in their classic toy car collection. \nPawfect placing<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nHeck, some might tend to a whole forest of trees and plants on their desk, or they might bring their cat obsession to work with them. You can tell this worker has pawfectly placed those photographs on their desk and made sure they had the best screensaver known to man…and felines. \n \n[post_page_title]All for Ben[\/post_page_title] \nThere are some offices that have more men than women, and there are others that have more women than men – that\u2019s just the way it works. Nevertheless, employers are required to provide both male and female washroom facilities, which has worked in Ben\u2019s favor. \nAll for Ben<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nAs the only male in an all-female office, he has the whole of the male bathroom to himself. Because of this, he decided to do a bit of redecorating and make it truly his. We wouldn’t be surprised if his co-workers responded with a move toward co-ed bathrooms. \n \n[post_page_title]Home sweet home[\/post_page_title] \nFor most people, the prospect of working in an office is incredibly off-putting.\u00a0Instead, they wish they could work in the comfort of their own home, with their own four walls around them, their fireplace, their kitchen, and their very own, beautiful flowerpots. \nHome sweet home<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nYet, what if there was an option for bringing your home to your office? Well, this guy has absolutely nailed the home sweet home vibe in his office block. With windows, doors, a chimney and even a door knocker, he is really living the life of luxury. \n \n[post_page_title]Office pet[\/post_page_title] \nWe are always on the lookout for ways to make the office experience a little more joyful. Doing the same 9-to-5 grind, day in and day out, can quickly get most people down. And so, sometimes breaking away from the routine is an absolute must. \nOffice pet<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nMany office employees toy with the idea of getting an office pet to keep their spirits high and give them a little boost when morale slumps low – but bosses rarely agree to this request. So, this worker decided to make his own office pet with what we can only hope is a coffee stain on the floor. \n \n[post_page_title]Power Rangers power up [\/post_page_title] \nThey say dress for the job you want, not the job you have. So, if you don\u2019t want to be a computer programmer sitting through the third morning meeting of the week, make your feelings known – loud and clear. \nPower Rangers power up<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nLong gone are the days of sitting in stiff shirts and pants through the board meeting – this is the 21st Century! If you want to come to work dressed as a Power Ranger, then go for it. Luckily, everyone in the meeting had the same idea. \n \n[post_page_title]I approve this posting[\/post_page_title] \nAlthough this passive aggressive note was approved by the manager, it definitely wasn\u2019t proofread by the management. Of course, any little slip-up will be ripped apart by the staff, and we can safely say that\u2019s happened. \nI approve this posting<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThis prankster has not only picked up and highlighted on the pretty blatant spelling mistake, but they\u2019ve also broken the rules of the note. Someone is going to be in big trouble when the manager – sorry, manager – works out who was behind this. \n \n[post_page_title]Hungry hippos[\/post_page_title] \nWhen you\u2019re staring at a computer screen all day, it can sometimes get a bit too much.\u00a0When your eyes begin to get tired, and your brain needs a break, you need to find something to occupy your time away from the computer screen. \nHungry hippos<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThese guys found the perfect way to take a break from work, in the form of an adorable little human-hippo. No longer do they have to be in front of the screen, they can be behind the screen. And part hippo! It\u2019s a win-win. \n \n[post_page_title]Off the clock[\/post_page_title] \nIf you work in an office, you\u2019ll know the best part of the day is lunch. This is the time where you\u2019re off the clock, you don\u2019t answer to anyone, and you can do whatever you want. Eat, drink, or just goof off in the break room – it’s entirely up to you! \nOff the clock<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThis person took that freedom to a \u2018hole\u2019 new level – and we love it. Instead of sitting on social media while eating a sandwich, they decided to make a little fun for themselves and install a golf course. Because why not, right? This way, they can get in nine holes before the day is out. \n \n[post_page_title]Not Debbies[\/post_page_title] \nNo matter where you work, there will always be someone in the office who is out to steal your food. Every single office that has ever existed had this type of person, and if you don’t know who it is in your office – it’s probably you. Sorry. \nNot Debbies<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nWhether it\u2019s a little bite from your sandwich, a little scoop of your yogurt, or a sip of your milk, it\u2019s not cool to find your beloved lunch has been eaten. Most of the time, you can\u2019t tell who the culprit is, but in this office everyone knows it\u2019s Debbie. As such, they\u2019ve all labelled their food. You made your bed, Debbie. But you better not eat it. \n \n[post_page_title]A flowchart[\/post_page_title] \nStrike up a friendship with one of your co-workers, and before you know it, you two might start to be regarded as each other’s eyes and ears. It’s not quite like raising a child, but maybe more like the bond between siblings. \nA flowchart<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nYou will constantly be asked where your co-worker is if they\u2019re not at their desk, and the same will happen the other way around. This worker got so fed up with answering the same question over and over again; they created a nifty little flowchart to save time answering the questions. \n \n[post_page_title]It\u2019s so beautiful[\/post_page_title] \nWhen you spend all day in your place of work, it\u2019s important to bring in things that make you feel more at home. Many people do this by drinking from their favorite mug – which they HOPE no one else will use. \nIt\u2019s so beautiful<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nHowever, unless you keep it under lock and key, there\u2019s no way to stop others from having a cup o\u2019 java in your mug. This worker was incredibly attached to their reindeer mug they even put up a sign, but that didn\u2019t stop them. After all, it’s so beautiful. \n \n[post_page_title]No purple sticky notes[\/post_page_title] \nThis group of workers got so annoyed to see their boss had put up a \u2018no thumbtacks in wall\u2019 poster using thumbtacks; they just had to sarcastically hit back and point out the hypocrisy of the note. \nNo purple sticky notes<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThen, one note came after another, and then another, and another\u2026 Until it got just plain ridiculous. This manager seems to agree with the age-old saying, \u201cDo as I say, not as I do.\u201d \n \n[post_page_title]Working to extinction[\/post_page_title] \nAfter all of their hard work, this group of employees decided to have a little fun and start a new fancy dress trend in the office. You’ve probably heard of “casual Fridays.” Well, how about T-Rex Tuesdays? \nWorking to extinction<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nAlthough they didn\u2019t get the memo that they were all supposed to wear something different, this is one room we would love to walk into. We can\u2019t imagine it\u2019s very easy to actually do any work when you have tiny T-Rex hands, which just goes to prove that dinosaurs would never last in this day and age. \n \n[post_page_title]A man and his castle [\/post_page_title] \nWhen this employee was a young boy, all he dreamt of was becoming a knight, fighting dragons, and saving princesses from high towers. At the very least, that’s the vibe we’re getting from his cubicle. \nA man and his castle<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nHowever, once he realized that becoming a knight required far too much training, he opted to work in an office instead. He didn\u2019t let the dream totally die, though, as he decided instead to build his own castle, complete with a drawbridge, in the middle of the office. Now he gets the best of both worlds! \n \n[post_page_title]Voice activated[\/post_page_title] \nWhen you\u2019re doing the same thing day in and day out, you need to mix things up a little, and you need to add a little fun into the groove. But how do you do that?\u00a0Well, in recent years, one of the most popular office pranks involves a “voice activated” sign. \nVoice activated<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nWe suppose it\u2019s not completely unbelievable to think of a voice-activated paper towel dispenser or photocopier, and there will always be a few people standing in front of this thing, shouting “paper towel, please!” over and over again, waiting for one to magically appear. \n \n[post_page_title]Keep off the grass[\/post_page_title] \nWe all want to work in the kind of office that lets you have free rein with decorating your cubicle. After all, we spend more waking hours there than we do at home – why can’t we decorate our space the way we please? \nKeep off the grass<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nIt\u2019s your space, which means you can do what you want with it – and add in a little bit of your personality to make it feel more like home. Although we\u2019re thinking of a few posters, this person took it one step further and built their own office yard. Whatever floats your flamingo. \n \n[post_page_title]Cubicle life [\/post_page_title] \nIf you work in a typical American office, you\u2019re probably surrounded by cubicles. As hilariously portrayed in Office Space, they’re probably the first thing most people think of when they think about offices. \nCubicle life<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThese boards are supposed to make you feel like you have your own personal office space – but in reality, they just make it difficult to chat with your fellow office friends without being caught. However, some people really like having their own private office space – like this guy, for example. Now he can work in peace, without the fear of distractions all day. \n \n[post_page_title]A tuna sandwich named Kevin[\/post_page_title] \nHave you ever worked in an office where you bring in lunch, and it disappears?\u00a0It seems to be commonplace around the country as if some people just forget what they brought in and so opt for the tastiest looking tuna sandwich in the fridge. \nA tuna sandwich named Kevin<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThe easiest way to differentiate between everyone\u2019s food in the communal refrigerator is to write your name on all of your foods. However, some people don\u2019t quite grasp this way of life – and Kevin had to pay the price. \n \n[post_page_title]We miss you[\/post_page_title] \nIn every office there tends to be someone who is the go-to person for everything. The printer is broken? Go to them. Office drama? Go to them. Organizing an office event? Go to them. \nWe miss you<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nBut what happens when that person goes missing? Who are you supposed to talk to?! It turns out, these employees really missed their go-to person\u2026 Like, a lot. So much so, they had to leave little notes in the hope that person would return. We hope they came back! \n \n[post_page_title]Just a bite[\/post_page_title] \nSometimes other people in the office have food that\u2019s too good to resist. You know that you shouldn\u2019t eat it, but if you just sneak a bite or two then no-one will notice, right?\u00a0After all, how can you say no when there’s pizza involved. \nJust a bite<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nUnfortunately, this individual wasn’t quite sneaky enough. Their perfect plan was quickly seen through by one of their colleagues. At least whoever wrote the note permitted them to take the whole slice next time, so that\u2019s a bonus. \n \n[post_page_title]Surrounded by balls[\/post_page_title] \nSometimes your office needs a bit of brightening up, especially when it\u2019s someone’s birthday. Many will blow up a few balloons, maybe put up a banner or two, but not here – they\u2019ve gone the extra mile. \nSurrounded by balls<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nNow this worker can celebrate their birthday surrounded by plastic balls. What better way to forget you\u2019re at work than to feel like you’re back to being a kid. It might even help to increase productivity. Google built a ball pit in their office and look how well they\u2019re doing. They\u2019re obviously onto something. \n \n[post_page_title]The spoon scoop[\/post_page_title] \nWe can\u2019t say we\u2019ve ever seen a whole drawer dedicated to plastic spoons, but obviously, some offices really love eating jello. They have so many spoons to choose from, yet they don\u2019t want any employees putting their hand in the drawer. \nThe spoon scoop<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nWe\u2019re not sure how dirty they think everyone\u2019s hands are, but at least they\u2019ve provided this handy scoop to make getting a spoon\u2026 easier? This looks a bit like a budget fairground game where the ultimate prize is a spoon to eat your dessert with. Would tongs not have been better? \n \n[post_page_title]Fighting back[\/post_page_title] \nPeople take their colleague\u2019s food out of the office fridge all the time. It doesn\u2019t matter how much effort someone puts in to show that the food belongs to them, they still face the risk of losing their lunch to the wandering hands of other workers. \nFighting back<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nWorkers at this office were getting fed up with others eating their food, so someone put their foot down with this note. Unfortunately, the person responsible for stealing the food responded in kind with their own note, and they did it perfectly. \n \n[post_page_title]Office takeaway[\/post_page_title] \nWhen you\u2019re surrounded by cubicles all day, there\u2019s not much to look at. You want a little excitement in your office, so this employee found a way to mix things up. We’re guessing this particular office is on the West Coast… \nOffice takeaway<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThey designed the outside of their cubicle to look like a particular fast food joint so that whenever anyone needed to talk to them, it was like they were going to order food. It\u2019s a great way to change up the office environment, although we can see it making a lot of workers hungry for lunch before it’s even midday. \n \n[post_page_title]The perfect plan[\/post_page_title] \nYou should always be prepared if you need to suddenly evacuate the office for any reason. Fires can happen, and it\u2019s important that everyone in the office knows what to do and where to go so that you all get out safely. \nThe perfect plan<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nIt\u2019s normally recommended that you leave in a calm, controlled manner, but this office has other ideas. Management has clearly forgotten to put up their evacuation plan, so a worker decided to do the job for them. It\u2019s pretty self-explanatory, but we\u2019re not sure if it\u2019s very helpful. \n \n[post_page_title]Leaky tap[\/post_page_title] \nWhen something doesn\u2019t work in your office, it can be a real pain. You want everything to function like a well-oiled machine, so once something stops, everything gets thrown into ruin. \nLeaky tap<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThis office\u2019s tap – a vital source for brewing everyone\u2019s morning cup of coffee – has been turned off due to leakage, and it\u2019s workers aren\u2019t happy. Judging by the tone of the note they left, we think that maybe this tap hasn\u2019t been working for quite a few days now. It\u2019s definitely in need of fixage. \n \n[post_page_title]Everyone loves Nicolas Cage[\/post_page_title] \nNicolas Cage has become one of the world\u2019s greatest memes just for being himself. When this worker went away on holiday, their colleagues decided to turn their cubicle into a shrine devoted to the great actor. \nEveryone loves Nicolas Cage<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThey were very thorough in their efforts, including transposing Cage\u2019s face onto a picture of Nickelback, and we\u2019re sure that once this employee returns to work, they\u2019ll be grateful. We definitely can\u2019t see them wanting to tear all the pictures down, because who doesn\u2019t want to stare at Nicolas Cage all day? \n \n[post_page_title]You weren’t there[\/post_page_title] \nWhen there\u2019s a gadget in the office that requires a lot of technical skill to use it, you don\u2019t want everyone else messing around with it.\u00a0We\u2019re assuming that this machine isn\u2019t actually that hard to use, but if something goes wrong with it, you want someone who knows what they\u2019re doing to sort it out. \nYou weren’t there<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nUnfortunately, that person wasn\u2019t at their desk when the problems started happening, which made their note entirely redundant. At least the person needing help informed them of this before they started pushing LOTS of buttons. \n \n[post_page_title]The post-it prank[\/post_page_title] \nIt\u2019s an oldie but a goodie. There\u2019s no better prank to play on a fellow employee than to cover their workspace in post-it notes when they aren\u2019t around.\u00a0They\u2019ve done a great job of color coding and making it all look so neat, so props to them. \nThe post-it prank<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nIf the user of this cubicle is away on vacation, then they\u2019ve got a big surprise waiting for them when they come back to work. We just hope they leave it as is. All those post-it notes could come in handy on the job. \n \n[post_page_title]Free creamer[\/post_page_title] \nSome people don\u2019t mind sharing their stuff, so long as they\u2019re asked about it first. This employee is clearly willing to let others use their creamer, but they don\u2019t like opening the fridge to find that people have already been helping themselves. \nFree creamer<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThe person responsible for taking the creamer obviously feels differently about the matter and didn\u2019t appreciate the note that their colleague left. They fought back with their own note, contradicting everything that was said and assuring other workers that the creamer was free to use. We see this ending in chaos. \n \n[post_page_title]April Fool’s[\/post_page_title] \nIf your boss shows up to work with several boxes of Krispy Kreme donuts in hand then you know it\u2019s going to be a good day. Providing your employees with a sweet treat is a great way to pick up their spirits and keep them motivated. \nApril Fool’s<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nUnfortunately, this boss clearly feels that their employees aren\u2019t being healthy enough with what they eat. So, as an April Fool\u2019s joke, they replaced all the sugary snacks with nutritious vegetables. What we want to know is what they did with the donuts that used to be in those boxes. \n \n[post_page_title]Spider on the loose[\/post_page_title] \nIf you\u2019re not afraid of spiders, then this office prank probably won\u2019t affect you, but if you are\u2026 You wouldn\u2019t catch us lifting this paper cup up, and we\u2019d almost definitely be scanning the room in case there was a huge, aggressive spider on the loose. \nSpider on the loose<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nEven though rationally we\u2019d be telling ourselves that this is a prank and our colleagues just cut that hole out themselves, we\u2019d spend the whole day unable to focus on the job. You can always rely on other people at work to create some excitement, even if it\u2019s at your expense. \n \n[post_page_title]Did you watch it?[\/post_page_title] \nPeople at work love talking about the things they\u2019ve watched recently, especially if it\u2019s something that\u2019s a favorite amongst others in the office.\u00a0Of course, some colleagues can be a bit too eager to talk about the latest episode, even if everyone hasn\u2019t gotten around to watching it yet. \nDid you watch it?<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThis worker took steps to ensure that their day would be spoiler free after missing the latest episode of Game of Thrones. Hopefully, people took note of this and kept away from their desk. \n \n[post_page_title]The ransom note[\/post_page_title] \nYou can never have enough pens, and yet they always seem to go missing. Even though there are probably hundreds in the office, you seem to have a habit of all borrowing the same one because it\u2019s the only one you can find. \nThe ransom note<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThat\u2019s why this devious employee decided to steal the pen and write up a ransom note demanding $50 for its safe return. We believe that they\u2019d have no problem using up all the ink, but $50 is perhaps pushing it a bit too far. $45 is much more realistic. \n \n[post_page_title]Feeling self-conscious[\/post_page_title] \nThere are many people in this world who struggle to do their business in public bathrooms, and there are certain things that make this even more uncomfortable. \nFeeling self-conscious<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nYes, it seems like adding this laughing painting as part of an office prank just makes things even more awkward. We feel sorry for the people in this office who do struggle to go to the bathroom and relieve themselves, but we also can\u2019t deny the fact that this is pretty hilarious. \n \n[post_page_title]Do not sit[\/post_page_title] \nIs there anything better than having an office pet? We think not. Anything goes when it comes to office pets, but there\u2019s no doubt about the fact that most employees take their dogs into the workplace. \nDo not sit<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThis is great for those who love dogs and feel even more motivated when there are doggy cuddles on the horizon, but it\u2019s not great for anyone who would want to sit on this futon. After all, it looks as though their spot is well and truly occupied by the cutest little dachshund. \n \n[post_page_title]Tried and failed[\/post_page_title] \nOne of the greatest things about working in an office is the fact that everyone tries to be funny – even if they\u2019re not! People are always on the lookout to become the office clown, and it seems as though the person writing the white note decided to showcase some of their hilarious jokes. \nTried and failed<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThey could have just dated the cans with the use-by date, but they instead decided to take the cans out and see what the vibe was like. Was there a connection? Would there be even more dates? Sadly not. \n \n[post_page_title]A parking violation[\/post_page_title] \nMost employees like to add little personal touches to their desks, and it seems as though this particular employee wanted to honor their love for the Mini Cooper with a miniature version of the car. \nA parking violation<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nWhile they had no problem with its place on the desk, one of their coworkers obviously wasn\u2019t too impressed with it. Instead of asking the worker to take their Mini off the desk, they decided to give it a parking violation instead. What we want to know is how they managed to print off something so tiny… \n \n[post_page_title]Earthquake detection[\/post_page_title] \nWhen you start a new job, it\u2019s important to make sure that you are trained in all of the necessary procedures. You will probably be shown where the fire exits are, and you will be told where you need to go and what you need to in the case of other emergencies. \nEarthquake detection<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nWhile earthquakes aren\u2019t quite as common as other emergencies, it\u2019s still better to be prepared, right? This office decided to keep things simple with their earthquake detection kit. Just keep an eye out of some serious eye rolling. \n \n[post_page_title]Badge of shame[\/post_page_title] \nEvery workplace has its own little personal jokes, and this is one of the funniest we have ever seen. While it\u2019s no secret that everyone makes mistakes and messes up sometimes, it\u2019s how your workplace deals with these mistakes that really puts everything in perspective. \nBadge of shame<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nYou\u2019re either called into the manager\u2019s office to explain the situation and take any punishment coming your way, or you\u2019re given the badge of shame. We\u2019re not sure which one seems worse, to be honest. \n \n[post_page_title]Fortune 500[\/post_page_title] \nAlthough we don\u2019t like to discriminate against anyone or anything in this world, there\u2019s no doubt about the fact that Comic Sans is pretty low down the list in terms of cool fonts. \nFortune 500<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nIt seems as though one employee in this company didn\u2019t quite get that memo, and instead decided to go ahead and print out a Comic Sans sign. The manager wasn\u2019t too impressed with this use of font and noted that they didn\u2019t want to be a lemonade stand. Everyone likes lemonade, but everyone hates Comic Sans. \n \n[post_page_title]Paul\u2019s productivity[\/post_page_title] \nHave you ever found yourself looking for anything but work to do? While everyone knows that you need to work in the office, sometimes your productivity is just way off. \nPaul\u2019s productivity<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nYou find yourself fiddling with some of the weirdest things around you, you make up songs in your head, and you even search the whole office for rubber bands so that you can make true-to-size replicas of the Earth and Moon. As you can see, Paul wasn\u2019t feeling very productive that day\u2026 \n \n[post_page_title]Sincerely, tall person[\/post_page_title] \nOne of the worst things about working in an office is the fact that you have to use communal spaces. Whether that be the working space as a whole, the kitchen, or the bathroom. \nSincerely, tall person<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThis means that you have to deal with whatever is put in this communal space – even if it\u2019s not quite right for you. When one tall person had to deal with the fact that they were just the right height for the scented spray, they weren\u2019t too keen on the positioning\u2026 Or the taste. \n \n[post_page_title]A philosophical question[\/post_page_title] \nLife can be pretty strange sometimes, and this can leave you asking questions and pondering what life is really about. Is time a construct? What is the meaning of our existence? Why do bad things happen to good people? \nA philosophical question<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nIt seems as though the person who wrote this note was also having a tough day where they were questioning everything, and they decided to get pretty deep in terms of the printer. After all, life is temporary, and so is the temporary printer. It\u2019s the circle of life, people. \n \n[post_page_title]The best burns[\/post_page_title] \nThere are many offices around the world that love to have competitions every now and then. This might be the ultimate bake-off where employees bake their best cakes. It might be a costume competition where they have to think up the most original idea. \nThe best burns<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nOr, it might be a burn competition. It seems as though this office is in a constant state of competition, because Jonny just can\u2019t stop himself from dropping the sickest burns. Meghan better get some cream for that sick burn, because that was something else. \n \n[post_page_title]Mixing things up[\/post_page_title] \nHeading to work and sitting in the same cubicle for hours on end, day in and day out can be pretty boring. Employees may find themselves getting restless, they may lack productivity, and they may even find themselves searching for new jobs. \nMixing things up<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nSo, this company decided to mix things up a bit and turn their office into a giant water slide. While we\u2019d hate to be the cleaner of this place, there\u2019s no doubt about the fact that this looks pretty awesome. We wonder if they are hiring? \n \n[post_page_title]Everyone is important[\/post_page_title] \nIf you work in a large company, it\u2019s important to remember that everyone is important to the big bosses at the top. Without you, work wouldn\u2019t get done, and they wouldn\u2019t be able to leave the office with a satisfied smile on their face. \nEveryone is important<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nOf course, this importance comes in very different forms. There are those who are important because they leave the office and bring joy to everyone who gets to stay behind without them, and there are those who bring light to the office. Which one are you? \n \n[post_page_title]The food thief[\/post_page_title] \nThere\u2019s nothing worse than having to store your lunch in a communal refrigerator, because you can almost guarantee that someone is going to steal your food. It\u2019s the daily battle that all office workers have to deal with, but these employees didn\u2019t want to have to deal with it anymore. \nThe food thief<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThey wanted to make sure that their food was their own, so they wrote some passive-aggressive notes to get the word out. It\u2019s just a shame that the food thief wasn\u2019t really listening, and just wanted some more food. \n \n[post_page_title]The old-age prank[\/post_page_title] \nOffice pranks seem to be coming back into fashion again, and this is one of the oldest tricks in the book. While most people don\u2019t appreciate the fright of their life as they sit down on their office chair, it\u2019s fair to say that everyone else finds it hilarious. \nThe old-age prank<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nThere\u2019s something so fun about seeing the look on their face, the jump they make when the sound goes off, and the fact that the employee was none the wiser. It\u2019s an old one, but it\u2019s a doozer. \n \n[post_page_title]Trying something new[\/post_page_title] \nPeople are always pushing their luck in office environments, and it seems as though one particular employee did just that. While they didn\u2019t think that anyone would fall for the joke that putting an onion in your disc drive would remove all potential viruses, they did have just a glimmer of hope. \nTrying something new<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nSo, they popped the paper on the board and waited for someone to come rushing into their office with computer troubles. In fact, they would probably smell the laptop before they saw their coworker coming through the door. \n \n[post_page_title]The ultimate office war[\/post_page_title] \nLooking for ways to pass the time in the office can be difficult. You can\u2019t watch a movie on your computer because your boss will see it on your screen. You can\u2019t fall asleep just in case you\u2019re needed urgently. \nThe ultimate office war<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nYou can\u2019t even read a book because the pages are just too loud when you turn them. So, what do you do? You have an office war, of course! These guys found the perfect way to entertain themselves when they were bored, and it looks pretty intense. \n \n[post_page_title]Acceptable and unacceptable[\/post_page_title] \nWorking in an office can be difficult when it comes to lunchtime. Everyone brings in their own food, and everyone wants to heat this up in the microwave, they want to bring in the smelliest food, and they want to bring in food that everyone hates. \nAcceptable and unacceptable<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nWho in their right mind wants to smell tuna when they still have five hours in the office? The answer is nobody. Real fish is never acceptable to eat in the workplace, and you\u2019ll do well to remember that. \n \n[post_page_title]Hold your potato[\/post_page_title] \nHave you ever made your way around your office and realized that there are some pretty weird signs scattered around? Well, you\u2019re not the only one. \nHold your potato<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nWhile we know that this sign asked people to wash their hands when they were finished in the bathroom, it doesn\u2019t really look like that, does it? Thanks to this, we went to the grocery store, we bought a potato, and we held it for the rest of our shift. After all, that\u2019s what the sign told us to do. \n \n[post_page_title]Coffee compliments[\/post_page_title] \nIt doesn\u2019t seem to matter how modern and luxurious an office is, it\u2019s inevitable that something will break at some point. It might be the photocopier; it might be the hand dryer; or it might even be the coffee machine. \nCoffee compliments<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nAlthough this coffee maker was not completely unusable, it was definitely NOT hot. However, one employee couldn\u2019t leave the coffee maker feeling so unwanted. Thankfully, everyone now knows that this fairly average-looking coffee maker has a great personality. \n \n[post_page_title]Nice spelling [\/post_page_title] \nSometimes, managers like to fill their offices with confidence boosters and posters that will motivate their staff. These posters might delve into a few problems they\u2019re having in the office – but in a nice way, of course. \nNice spelling<\/figcaption><\/figure> \nSo, this manager tried to tell their staff that they were way too sarcastic in a calm and professional manner. Unfortunately, they didn\u2019t spell-check the poster before they stuck it up on the wall, which meant it was just asking for a sarcastic reply.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"[post_page_title]Please check[\/post_page_title] If you\u2019ve worked in an office before, you\u2019ll know that the bathroom is a sacred place.
