Anyone who has ever worked in an office has faced similar (nearly identical!) scenarios, no matter the type of office. We all have hate/love (mostly hate) relationships with our coworkers and bosses. We all are always starving, somehow? (I don’t know what it is about offices, but I’m never not hungry when I’m there.) Also, most of us don’t know wtf we’re doing. We’re just, uh, going with the flow.
1. This donut situation:
office culture is someone bringing in donuts and everyone for some reason refusing to take a whole one and cutting off 3/8 of the donut and then at the end of the day there's like 17/25ths of 9 different donuts left

2. Having to replace things you mean with things you don’t:

3. …Constantly:
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!

4. Also, being hungry at all times:

6. Listening to coworkers talk about their kids like you care:
Co-workers with kids: Omg guess what? My kid did the funniest thing yesterday!

7. Signing cards for people you don’t know…or like:
My coworker is pregnant and they passed a card around and I didn't know what to write so I just put HAVE A GOOD BABY TANYA

8. Harboring an intense and secret hatred towards your boss:
[in the carpark after work]
Supervisor: bye, David. Have a good weekend
Me [giving him the finger]: you're not in charge now— David Hughes (@david8hughes) April 2, 2016
9. But still putting on a great show:

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

12. Being inundated with unnecessary emails:
Is there a way I can filter out all work emails except the ones telling me there are donuts or cake in the office?

13. Loads and loads of ’em:

14. Being deeply invested in office drama, but only while at work:
me: i don't have time for workplace drama, i'm here for a paycheck

17. And finally, motivational posters:
I hate my job. The work sucks. The people suck. The pay sucks.
