We’ve all been there. Those mornings when the alarm “accidentally” gets snoozed one too many times, and then you’re strolling into work with a coffee in hand, pretending you didn’t just roll out of bed 20 minutes ago. After all, the day doesn’t officially start until you’ve arrived, right? Plus, who needs to be a morning person anyway? These 30 work memes are for all the employees out there who know exactly what it’s like to time their arrival just right—fashionably late but still early enough…

"She said ‘No way. I was texting, and just as I put down my phone, the light was green.’"

There's nothing quite as classicly infuriating as being stuck in traffic, sitting trapped in your little steel box in a sea of other little steel boxes, unable to move, go anywhere, or even stretch your legs. You're feeling claustrophobic, probably running late for something , even if you thought you had left with plenty of time to spare.

One of the first things you learn in driving school is how to merge. Shortly after you learn which pedals make the car go and which pedals make the car stop, you learn the tried-and-true method of merging, fondly called “The Zipper”. However, once we're released onto the roads of the real world, oftentimes, people forget the you-go-I-go flow of traffic, forgetting entirely how to merge like a civilized driver.

Waste my time? I'll waste yours.

This guy had an interesting reaction to being pulled over by police . As police officers approached this dude's vehicle, they informed him that he was about to get a ticket. The price of the ticket is a mere $10, which is probably the cheapest ticket I've ever heard of. But nevertheless, this guy began to freak out, all while the passenger next to him stares ahead in silence. There's no amount of cash that's worth tearing up for this reason. However, the driver justifies the decision by insisti…

That coworker is going to regret being so vocal about this employee's tardiness.

This Karen thought that she could use the shoulder to skip a queue of traffic on the motorway, but when a semi-driver decided that he was going to have none of that and intervened, he caused her to crash into a conveniently placed police cruiser. The story was witnessed and shared to r/MaliciousCompliance by a truck driver, Redditor u/fmintar1. They shared this story to the popular subreddit to share how they got one up on this queue-dodging cretin. The types of people that do things like this…

Commuting to work must be the biggest waste of time known to man. You sit in traffic on the freeway for 45 minutes with a stale drive through coffee in your hand, meetings to panic about, and road rage in your heart . Now imagine if your office was only 10 steps away from your bedroom? 20 steps away from your kitchen and fully stocked cupboard? Not only do you have full access to all of the luxuries of home (snacks, good coffee, comfortable pants, and your pets), but your "commute" takes about…

Desperate times call for desperate measures!

Well, she sort of escaped traffic.

This person was minding their own business, just driving along when an officer decided to get in their day a little. Being an upstanding citizen, this driver went full malicious compliance and followed his instructions to the letter. Seems like the ensuing awkwardness got this person out of a totally BS ticket. For a strange one, here's the Karen who tried to steal a woman's mobility scooter and got caught in a slow speed chase.

The first lesson here might be “don't drive your car aimlessly in circles at a crowded four-way stop.” But even if you do find yourself doing that, the second lesson would be “just look around to see if there are any cops around." Actually, if you're the kind of person who does this garbage, never mind, don't look for cops.

Just another average Auckland commute.

They're determined to get to the bottom of it.

Big brain time.
