Office

Karen power tripped a little too hard and made a big, unpopular authority flex. It just so happens there were a lot of employees around to maliciously comply with that authority she brandished so haphazardly. Misuse of authority can backfire, like this VP who got canned for pulling rank.

Getting used to a new work dynamic can be stressful, and this new employee decided that they wouldn't be bullied into participating in free donut day. Instead of just blowing the thing off, they thought to make their point more clear in the form of middle finger donuts. For some more office shenanigans, here's an employee who annoyed their coworker with plants.

When things went down too fast for employees to save their plants from their building, the security team went through the process of turning the office into a makeshift greenhouse. For some more wholesome Tumblr threads, here's a neighbor who's helpful for no reason, as well as a barista who is the definition of chaotic good.

Some people are more sheltered from the grueling stresses of service jobs, than others. That being said, this coworker was in for a nice, humbling reality check. Check out some more totally random Tumblr treasures over here.

Zak Toscani's Twitter thread about a spicy office drama involving a coworker's stolen lunch is quite the little rollercoaster. The moral of the story here is to just not mess with other people's food. Stealing people's lunches is a terribly low move. 

This Twitter thread highlights the invisible advantage experienced by some men in various workplaces, while working alongside women. This man's experience with accidentally signing off on emails as his female coworker, Nicole, ended up resulting in multiple clients making him jump through more unnecessary hoops just because they thought he was a woman. So dumb. 

This person asked if they were in the wrong for throwing a fit for not getting a party to go along with their promotion, and then took their coworker's Tupperware for good measure. Sometimes people don't get it, like this entitled girlfriend who expected her boyfriend to pay off her loans, or these entitled people with their ludicrous demands.

It's simple, just don't steal other people's food! Unfortunately, that bit of common sense and decency is lost on some particularly entitled people. In this case though, we get to see a pro revenge unfold, and ultimately an office food thief defeated by the trusted nanny cam. 

There's nothing quite like the satisfaction of catching someone red handed, and deeply humiliating or inconveniencing them in the process. We've seen a guy get satisfying padlock revenge on gym thief as well as habanero cake revenge on food stealing roommates. This one, however, uses fear.

Get a load of the audacity on this office food thief! This woman was muddling through the sleep-deprived existence of raising a new baby, while working a job, and as it turns out, dealing with the antics of an office food thief. Eventually, the office food thief's blind greed boiled over to such a point that they were opening new packages of food and leaving the wrappers around. The woman had enough, and took her revenge with the help of a nanny cam. Smooth move. 

People overlook the day-to-day frustration of working in retail, service, and anywhere else where you might come into contact with a wild Karen. Anyone who has worked a physically demanding job for very little pay has a special type of appreciation for less demanding work, and a special type of disdain for a life-long office type who's never had to get their hands dirty. This Tumblr user got to see their coworker have a learning moment.

Ah, the infamous season of booze-soaked debauchery has arrived. The good old office holiday parties. Some of them can tend to get a little wild for people. Twitter users are sharing their experiences thus far with their office holiday parties. Hopefully yours managed to stay relatively decent. 

Let's not mix up the facts here, she is a filthy cheater. That said, regarding her coworker, anyone who cares this much about an office chili cook-off may not have their priorities in order. It seems like no one here is that great of a person, but such it is in the cut-throat world of office chili cook-offs. For some office stuff, here's a twitter thread about an umbrella that locked out an entire company for days, and here are funny office notes.

This green text story really brings on the melancholy. Anonymous gets into the nitty and gritty details of what life is like while going about the grind of working in an office. Whether it's dealing with passive aggressive "warm regards" emails from co-workers, or just trying to login to your computer. The office life ain't easy. 

This employee has a soft spot in their heart for spiders. When it got tense in the office with another co-worker over their refusal to kill the spider, they stood their ground, and successfully defended the life of the creepy crawler. Sounds like the co-worker is about ready to quit after this. 

This guy decided to keep himself entertained at work by leaving the stupidest notes he could, on the whiteboard at work. There's no doubt that at least one person enjoyed what he had to say.
