Evacuation Plan
It’s crucial for every office (and any building with workers, really) to have plans in place in case of emergencies. Things happen, and building managers and employers need to make sure their employees can get to safety quickly and easily. But developing a plan of action is much easier said than done.
This is the space where an actual evacuation sign is supposed to be put up, but apparently, it was forgotten about, and instead, one worker took it upon themselves to fill in the blank. Hey, it seems like a perfectly reasonable plan of escape. In case of emergency – run! Except, that’s terrible advice and would cause panic, and God knows what else, so please don’t do that.
Introvert Office Space
This guy gets nervous around people, but he’s really good at his job. So, his boss agreed to let him create this safe space in the office. Now, he can get his work done without feeling the prying eyes of coworkers. Ah, the perks of having a cool office environment and a boss that won’t fire you for joking around.
People who work in offices with lots of people can implement this strategy to make it feel more like they’ve got an office of their own. If you’ve got claustrophobia, though, you may want to reconsider before you decide to box yourself in like this dude. Plus, it doesn’t look very sturdy. One bump from a passerby and that thing could come crashing down in a second.
Speak into the Dispenser
Don’t you hate it when you’re waiting to get a paper towel in a public restroom, but you can’t because there’s some lunatic standing there talking to the dispenser and blocking your way? Yeah, us too. It is a pretty funny practical joke to play on your coworkers, though.
Must we reiterate how boring it can be to work in an office every day? You’re around the same people, doing the same stuff, and everyone looks for whatever it is they can do to keep themselves entertained. This is pretty good, though, we must admit. So good, in fact, that it may be time to print some signs for our next visit to the restroom. Cue the evil laughter!
Mug Off
This person’s reindeer mug means the world to them – or it’s their only one, and they don’t want to buy another. Either way, they’re obviously over everyone else trying to use it! But these office workers weren’t willing to keep their hands off. If you use a reindeer mug all year long, people probably grab it first thing when it’s nowhere near the holiday season, thinking that it’s just an extra that someone left lying around.
After all, who uses holiday gear in the springtime? Maybe it’s time to invest in a new mug, buddy. If it really means that much to you, take it home and bring a different one for the office that’s not so…attractive.
Pet Stains
Accidents happen, but in most cases, a cleaning crew shows up to handle it before the situation gets too…extreme. But this stain was already long past a little carpet cleaning, so this guy decided to make the most of the spot on the floor until they could replace the entire area. This is a great example of the kinds of things office workers have to do to keep themselves entertained throughout their long days in the cubicle.
Oh sure, he could have simply left it alone and kept up with his work. But why not have a little fun and turn the stain into a hilarious comic instead? Yeesh, though, it does look like they lost the entire pot of coffee, huh? At least they were able to turn something bad into something funny until it could be fixed! We wonder if the boss approved, though…
