Working in an office can be many things: boring, infuriating, soulless, etc.

But at least people are able to see a lot of humor in it and then they share those funny thoughts with the rest of us on social media.

So pretend like you’re working and take a few minutes to enjoy these tweets about the realities of office life.

1. Sounds great!

2. Sorry I exist…

Every work email I send:

Hey!
Sorry to bug you!
Was just wondering
(If it’s not too much trouble)
Would it be possible to do thing you said you’d do?
Totally fine if not!
Prob my fault anyway I’m an idiot 🙂
Sorry to bother you!
Sorry I exist!
So sorry!
Just let me know!

7. Don’t mess with Greg.

“I’ve CC’d in my boss”
– professional
– corporate
– mildly threatening

“You wanna say that in front of Greg?”
– confident
– threat level 9000
– who is Greg and what is he capable of

8. Can’t you tell I’m very busy?

90% of my job is squinting at my monitor when somebody walks by so it looks like I'm concentrating on some work.

Is there a way I can filter out all work emails except the ones telling me there are donuts or cake in the office?
