[Old video cassette recording comes to life, showing a modern office interior and smiling employees.] Ah, office life. It’s peaceful. It’s pure bliss. And it’s so amazing that -- [laughs out loud] I’m sorry, I tried to get through this without laughing, but I just couldn’t! Office life is a hoot and so full of drama, gossip, and weirdness, you can’t turn a corner without bumping into this fearsome threesome while you're on your way back home to rest up for tomorrow's workday.
To show you just how hilarious (and soul-crushingly sad) things can get, the Bored Panda team (ironically, working from home because of the Pandemic Apocalypse raging outside) has collected some of the very best memes about office life. You’re bound to relate to them if you’ve ever spent any time working at an open-plan desk or in a cubicle or stood next to the watercooler, awkwardly sipping from one of those tiny styrofoam cups.
Be sure to upvote your fave office memes and drop us a comment or two about the hilarious, weird, and hilariously weird things that go on in your office, dear Pandas? And read on to learn about the more lighthearted, as well as the more serious issues of office life.

I love it when as a kid you think that if you earn 1000 EUR per month you'll have 12000 EUR at the end of the year...
Pretty much! There’s a limit to how much control an adult should give another adult, boss or not.
Except they would not answer understandable, they would say "report to HR monday"
It’s always lies! Maybe they just want to see if you can tell a normal lie.
'so what is the timeline? Thats a great theory, so what is an approximate timeline? When would you like to start this? In an ideal scenario when would you start this process? Do you know when tomorrow is?'
I just refuse to ever go through this again. I could never work for someone else at this point. It’s fuçked up how much you have to beg to work for someone else even when THEY are the ones who need an employee.
My face when someone walks in my office after two hours of nobody coming in so i figure it's ok to let fluffy off the leash. Aka answer the call of the wild burrito. Fart.
I always wondered that too but I think those people have family help or live in LCOL areas.
And that one friend judgingly saying "Why are you so fat and unhealty?!" Yep...
I mean, you can ask me questions, but unless I've had two cups of coffee, I'm probably just going to stare at you.
My job is like the song "Hotel California" I can check out anytime I like, but I can never leave.
When my boss says" I'm going to lunch, call me if the building starts on fire"
Nothing more annoying than everyone complaining about 'putting out fires' and you're thinking 'with a little forethought you could quit setting the d**n fires so you don't have to put them out'.
Or like when i txt my friend I’m like dammit that sounded a little too clingy
'Allow me to elaborate on the theme of my previous email and attachment. If there is no data provided there are no answers forthcoming. Data is gathered by your direct reports.' Could you please just send me the f'ing numbers so I can make the reports you want?
I saved up a little money and then literally lived in squalor (like very little food, no heat, no internet, lived in a badly damaged house etc) for like a year so I wouldn’t have to work and I could get my own thing going. It was 1000% worth it to get out of the rat race and stop having to BEG to make a pathetic $20 an hour. I wish everyone could do the same but it isn’t possible. That’s why we need a higher minimum wage.
It's worse if they ask "do you belong here?". I had that a few times, and honestly.... no I fkin don't, I'm not the carpet or a piece of furniture, but what's your dumbass problem anyway
In the mirror reflection shes literally watching a youtube video
I love this show! "The Most Popular Girls in School" on YT, for those interested. Definitely not SFW.
They love using Rosemarie’s face as a meme. She really isn’t as mean as she looks. She’s making these faces as a response to some jerk being super critical of her and having unrealistic expectations.
That’s Ed, the guy who Rosemarie up there is making all those mean faces at.
Matt Perry had addiction issues, and there’s like 20 years between those pics. Let’s not do him dirty.
Manager: do you know how to multitask? Me: Do you know how to multipay?
It was discovered years ago that “multitasking” is a myth. Even if something is automated, you still have to concentrate on it to start it before moving on to something else while it’s running. You cannot give 100% of your attention and concentration to more than one thing at a time, so the concept of “multitasking” is, more accurately, merely dividing up your attention. Think of it this way: If you’re trying to do 5 tasks at once, you’re only giving each of them a portion of that 100%, as no one can give 5 simultaneous tasks 100% each—-or 500% of our attention—-because human beings are not computers.
Load More Replies...People always tend to forget how miserable they were, because they (logically) can only focus on their current misery, and they embelish their memories... I'm sure some people think college was not even worse.
