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!
How to be a grown up at work:
Replace "Fuck you" with "Ok, 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!

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.

I wonder how many consecutive Mondays Todd will respond "not long enough" in regards to how his weekend was. We're at 7.

15. That would be excellent.
Is there a way I can filter out all work emails except the ones telling me there are donuts or cake in the office?
