A Coworker Asked This Guy To Watch Her Plant For 4 Days. Here’s What He Did
When this guy at an IT firm in Augusta, Georgia was asked by his coworker to take care of her plant while she was gone from work for 4 days, he decided to take the plant out to see the sights and sounds that an ordinary office plant might otherwise never get to experience.
He and the plant, a philodendron, painted the town red, having fun in some of the city’s most popular public spaces and even teaching it to drive (judging by the photos, it went really well – I’ve heard that philodendron plants are quick learners).

Share on FacebookMy first thought was pictures of him "watching" the plant. WOW, this was so much better than anything I could ever dream of. LOVE IT!
Load More Replies...Awesome adventure! Art and the park, even some gaming. Best babysitter in the world!!
Putting plant on a leash?? That's just cruel. Bloody hell, what is the world coming to.
Best pet siter ever! Who else would take so much time out of their day for a plant. This guy rocks! :)
I think that this little plant will grow now very fast. I adore people with goofy ideas !
the girl who asked him to take care of the plant is probably someone he has a crush on... hehe.
A bucketlist idea! I hope someone will do this with my plant :) I would love him/her!
Thanks to boredpanda. They accept any kind of foolish images and non-sense uploads. --unlike
Two friends, one plant, a great idea. And how awesome that they busted the myth that women and men can't be friends!! Made my day. :-)
So nice that the plant owner and plant minder haven't bought into the myth that women and men can't be friends. I hope the 3 have bonded! :)
I love it ! Not the plant however, what a weedy looking thing, this guy has just made the dying days of the plant more cheerful.
I think within all his creativity...he forgot to water the plant. Anyone else notice that the plant turns progressively yellow?
my plant was watching me browsing this story.. and now it is making demands, like going to the mall - and buying *more* plants. HELP!!
Awesome, although first driving lesson should have been to always disengage the parking brake before putting car into gear.
This gag looks like it was way tooooo much work for a philodendron. Now, if it was a dandelion....
This plant has had a life-changing experience, due to its new best friend. No, this IT guy is not nutzzz... he shared his happy life!
I'm sure the plant had fun! No this guy is not nutz... he is a happy IT guy sharing in his own way! Got to love it
OMG - that is F-ing hilarious!!! Wish I had super fun friends like that . . . I've, um, got many plants.
Dude, that isn't a philodendron; it's a pothos. http://gardening.about.com/od/specifichouseplants/p/Pothos.htm
Wow. Poor plants, never getting to do anything but sit and grow. I bet the plant owner is going to be mad though. Did he have permission to go cuckoo with her plant?
I think that is one uber clever coworker, and that he is geeky, cute and a lot of fun!
Why do I get the feeling, that even after all that effort, this poor guy still didn't get laid.
In a world full of despair this one man gives me hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you IT man from Augusta, GA. Please continue your journey
The driving one would have been better if they turned off the interior lights (that are on because the door is open) or cropped them out...
I love it! http://hopeyt.blogspot.com/2010/08/those-little-monsters-in-vancouver.html
in so many of those photos, I could just see the plant falling and smashing to bits
I would like him to take care of my plants. He's a catch. Note to plant owner: pursue for future life happiness!!!
Brilliant but I would not leave my plant with you. You did not put the seat belt on in the car. Risking the life of the plant is potty .
Good practice with the plant Maybe now he can practice with a girl :)
He's either crazy or the gal that trusted him with her plant is reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllly cute.
This is right downtown! That's awesome! I need to meet this guy!
I have a fichus that doesn't get out much , and seems a bit lonely... (young man, you are absolutely charming!)

Except for the last one, there are at least two vegetables in every shot.
This guy totally wants to bang the girl who asked him to watch the plant, thats a lot of effort/time
thats friendship, check out this pretty smiliar project, a photo series about an inflatable monkey: https://www.facebook.com/realmonkeyjens

What if a train came ?? why didn't you use the safety belt on your drive ?? Hanging him over a cliff ? The trauma he has to endure .. Lol
I think the plant has had so much attention that it will be a most hearty grower!
How demeaning! You treat the plant well by teaching it to drive, but then you put a leash on it? Such mixed messages!
Seems the plant is a relative of the potted plant from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
And I thought he was going to WATCH the plant! At least that's what your headline said! :-P
And I thought he was going to WATCH the plant!! That's what your headline said! :-P
I think the guy has a huge crush on the plant's owner. Just saying. Nobody's going to do something "cutesy" for a bro who just brofists.
Way to go. He's like the "Disneyland dad". How will the everyday mom ever live up to that!
The plant will tell all others that their is a whole nee world out there. They will kill their owners in order to get someone to take them o
If he doesn't have any major weirdnesses, I think that she ought to propose to him ;)
My plants are hassling me for a plantsitter like this now. I should never have let them use the internet!
What a fu guy and he must get have a fun relationship with his co-worker to do this. :)
I think this coworker likes the girl. And on her place I would totally date him! :)
lmao wtf does this guy do for living his office looks like the best place to work
I'm jealous of a plant....how is this possible?! :) gave me smiles
Shoulda tought the plant to swim so the owner couldnt drown it
I would totally marry him; he's hilarious! Anyone who put that much effort into it obviously likes her!
Carrying, funny, adventurous, creative, handsome. Well? Marry him!
What a caring, sharing guy. Not sure the plant would agree with all those changes though.
I guess the next time you have to be careful in what you ask for ...too funny
lol I love this guy! hahahah (even though the plant is gonna dry from the shock after all these movings...
I think this dude wants to get to some photosynthesis with the plants parent. Just sayin'
I think this dude wants to get freaky with the plants mommy. Just sayin'
OMG! What an awesome friend. I want to clone him multiple times and send him to all my single friends! Totally adorable pics
It needs a theme song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGu0m08Etm8 like this :)
it should have music something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGu0m08Etm8 <3
This was great... But u treat it like a person and then put a leash on it. That plant is going to be confused when it blossoms!!
this guy's created a monster! his co-worker is not going to thank him for showing her plant the outside world ...
I think I am in love with that guy. He is so fun and considerate. What a lucky plant.
Tell ur buddy to release the hand brake when driving, he'll fu*k up the brakes, dude! :) On the other hand....quite funny :)
I loved how others joined the play and you should never let the plant drive & text. Just saying. LOL
This is the funniest thing I've ever seen and I'm pretty sure I would propose to that guy
If he had it for four days, he probably should've changed his clothes?

they say that plants grow more with attention, she is coming back to a jungle
You and the owner of the plant are in love!!!! I wish you a very good future with many plants and kids!!!
Philodendron, aka Phil, looks very happy in the photos. He does look a little tired in the last photo and may need a nap. Love th red leash!
He didnt even take a pick watering it, its going to die from dehydration
Thankfully, no plant seedlings were hurt in the process. The previous owner is distraught, and said, "Somehow I will move forward."
This plant will never be the same. It made an appt. to see a lawyer, and has filed for a divorce from its previous owner.
I think if the girl (if she is not married) and the plantsitter (if he is not married) should get married and have Phil as their best man!
i think the plant would have had a better time driving if the park brake wasn't set... just saying
Hahaha I love this, she couldn't have left th plant in better hands!
Oh. My. Goodness!!! Too funny! A little sad that this plant gets out more than I do, but the guy is crazy creative! :)
I wonder how HE feels now that he's had to give the plant back... Poor guy... #attachmentissues
Ne idea but ....I hope it doesn't go into shock! My Mom told me that plants don't like to be moved. ~
I have never seen such a creative communication! Would love to work with this guy! Genius!!
Sooo anyone else notice the parking brake still on in the "Back to Work" photo
Honestly. Are you familiar with the meaning of the word "joke," perhaps? For some reason, I think not!
Load More Replies...Very romatnic. A creative way of turning plant sitting into a radical declaration of feelings. So awesome!
This is too cute! The guy's got a great sense of humor and imagination! (And I think the plant loved the outings!!)
Do you think this plant and his guy would like to double date with a King Protea and it's cute South African baker?
My first thought was pictures of him "watching" the plant. WOW, this was so much better than anything I could ever dream of. LOVE IT!
