There are a million reasons why your workday might take a turn for the worse, and if anyone can lift your spirits, it's your colleague.
After all, who better understands what it's like to use your outdated office software or put up with your equally outdated boss? You're in the same boat!
So, to give credit where credit is due, we put together a new list of the funniest coworkers we found on the internet. Thank you for making it all bearable!

Our professional relationships can be a blessing and a curse. "Coworkers shape so much of how we experience work—whether we feel supported, safe, and motivated, or stressed, isolated, and stuck," Keith Spencer, career expert at Resume Now—an online platform that provides useful tools and resources to job seekers—told Bored Panda.
"In our Career Gridlock Report, 60% of workers said they've stayed in a job longer than they wanted, often because of fears about change, but also because of dynamics that make them feel trapped."
Spencer said, "Toxic relationships at work, like being blamed for mistakes or left out of key information, can add to that sense of paralysis." Which is why it's so cool when there aren't any!

Of course, tension can arise even in healthy environments. "Sometimes it’s personality differences—but more often, it’s about stress, unclear communication, and a work culture that rewards individual wins over team health," Spencer said.
However, at a certain point, the negatives just begin to compound. "People may withhold information, shift blame, or even sabotage coworkers—26% admitted to blaming others for mistakes, according to our Dirty Moves Report. And when that kind of behavior becomes routine, frustration builds."

Keith Spencer of Resume Now also said, others might feel like they're contributing more to their team than their colleagues, which could create additional frustration.
"Our Time-Wasting Report showed that 53% of workers admit to posting on social media during work hours, and 58% waste at least 30–60 minutes a day on non-work activities. That imbalance—where some feel like they’re carrying more than others—can easily create resentment and erode trust."

To improve your relationships with colleagues, Spencer suggests starting with empathy.
"A little understanding goes a long way—especially when work is stressful. Open communication, giving credit where it’s due, and being transparent about what you need from others sets a better tone for collaboration," he explained.
"Our data suggests withholding information, blaming others, and even sabotage are more common than most people want to admit—so building strong relationships isn't just a nice-to-have, it’s protection. Invest in trust. It makes work smoother, safer, and a lot more enjoyable for everyone involved."

Years ago, I worked night shift with 3 guys. We joked around a lot. We had a new guy I was training. The job wasn't what he expected so he quit after 2 nights. Cue the teasing from the 3 stooges. All kinds of suggestions for what I did to make the guy quit. One of them said "I bet she pinched his butt." I said "I tried but he turned around too fast". I could hear them as I walked away.... "wait... did she mean that how it sounded??..."

A couple years ago, I his 50 pictures of squirrels and squirrel memes in one of our VPs office just because I could, and they were EVERYWHERE. In between files, the bottom of his mouse, random calendar months, under the arm of his spare office chair, taped to snacks, you name it. He still has not found them all but thankfully he was an excellent sport about it lol.

Ah, originally "hilarious", someone needs to check their dictionary to see what hilarious means, now just amusing/funny and copy/pasted from the great Reddit in the sky. My sense of humour is in need of an overhaul, it seems.
