Ad-inspired merchandise store, The Incumbent Agency, turns cliché stock photos into hilariously relatable depictions of advertising agency life. Ad agencies do have their specifics, but as you'll see, the office life is the same as with any other job.

Just by adding funny captions to the photos, the agency easily turns ordinary (sometimes even awkward) stock photos into something absolutely brilliant. From stuck up coworkers to demanding bosses, these photos depict the realities of an office job more than perfectly. Take a look at some of our favorite snippets from an agency life below.

For more office work mockeries, check out The Incumbent Agency on Instagram. You can buy The Incumbent Agency's products (t-shirts, mugs, totes, prints, caps) on their online shop.

Reminds me of the episode of Buffy, in which a girl received a message nothing but "all the best" in her pre-summer-vacation card then became invisible.
