A Coworker Asked This Guy To Watch Her Plant For 4 Days. Here’s What He Did
985Kviews
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).

The poor plant is going to be so bored with normal life now
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!
Oh no, that is plant abuse. It must be adopted by this guy.
Awesome adventure! Art and the park, even some gaming. Best babysitter in the world!!
I wonder how the plant feels :) Must have been exciting!
Superb! Made me smile! :) Nice work my friend.!!
hahaha he is lovable! :)

He didn't buckled the plant's seatbelt!!!!!
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! :)
That guy can watch my plants anyday!
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!
I hope someone will do that with my plant <3
Quite cute and looks fun actually.
Hilarious!
That person is AWSOME

hahahaajavascript:void(0);

Thank God the plant survived through all this stress......!
I love it!
if that plant can say, it will say "You're a suck man!" LOL

Looks like plant had a great holiday as well. =)
first world problems
Plant looks much happier now that he's gone out to see the world!
love ♥♥♥
Awesome
The plant grew a little! It looks happy.
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! :)
My ovaries just dropped an egg!
AMAZING!!!!!
I know who's not getting laid... That guy
Made my day.......hilarious!!!
beautiful..brilliant haha
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?
Man, this was awesome! :D
my plant was watching me browsing this story.. and now it is making demands, like going to the mall - and buying *more* plants. HELP!!
great babysitting job... how about kids?
It will probably die of boredom when the owner gets back...
You think he scored points with the co worker?
I think i could be friends with that person lol
Awesome, although first driving lesson should have been to always disengage the parking brake before putting car into gear.
That is not a philodendron but an ivy.
That is not a philodendron but an ivy.
This gag looks like it was way tooooo much work for a philodendron. Now, if it was a dandelion....
That looked like it was tooo much work to put together... Well, at least for that plant. If it was a dandelion, however...
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
Hilarious that's what you call a reliable plant watcher
suddenly it evolves into a pokemon "grass type"
it evolves into venausur
I need coworkers like him!
Totally awesome!!! That plant prob wants to be adopted!! :)
....da...da....dumm... The Secret Life of Plants.
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
I want to work with that guy!
This is the person i want to watch my plant when i leave!
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!
lol .... "resident expert" indeed. Brilliant job!!! :D
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
I love it! In a world of despair he gives us all hope for a better tomorrow. Thank you Mr IT man from Augusta, GA.

Someone's having waaaaaaay too much fun.
This is one way to sleep with a co-worker!!!
But, sadly he forgot to water it and it died. He really took care of it- gedit?
Dude totally has a crush on her...

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 bet the plant needs a drink after all that excitement.
If you're single... marry that guy! You will never be bored! LOL
That's one lucky plant!
so funny!
Loved it
man would do anything for sex...
he must be so sad now the plant is gone... he will never live the same
I bet she had never ever imagined how far her plant could experience :))
The plant looks perkier. It even sprouted a new leaf. Good job!
Plant looks perkier. :)

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 .
That guy is marriage material! :D
Good practice with the plant Maybe now he can practice with a girl :)
Very creative!
He's either crazy or the gal that trusted him with her plant is reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllly cute.
This is just horrible... I actually feel as if the plant was a real person now!
The plant has more life than me

Friend zone level 9000!!

No wonder my plants die. They never have any fun.

bad idea walking on rails, though. don't try this at home. ;-)
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

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
And they part ways as very good friends. Bet they cried.
she should marry this guy
I think the plant has had so much attention that it will be a most hearty grower!
Holy crap! The plant actually GREW!!!! lmao
How demeaning! You treat the plant well by teaching it to drive, but then you put a leash on it? Such mixed messages!
It's an epiprenium, not philodendron
Seems the plant is a relative of the potted plant from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
What do I think? Who is the one taking the pictures?
Oh and what a great house sitter !! :)This guy could make big bucks
He loves the person he is plant sitting for:)
He loves that person that he is plant sitting for:)
He reminds me of Walle. Plant!!
He must be a fun guy to work with.
Very creative and it certainly made me smile!
<3 I talk to all my plants.
That is not a philodendron IT IS A NEON POTHOS.
Can you take caremof me too for 4 days? Haha! Awesome!
Imagine if the plant had fallen though..oh god lol
I wonder if you can babysit my baby plant too :D That was fabulous ;) Good Job!
Someone lost their marbles!

And I thought he was going to WATCH the plant!! That's what your headline said! :-P
ASSININE !!!
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.
Best friend forever! :D
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 ;)
Love it!
Hilarious. One of my favorites.
This is hilarious. One if my favorite posts.
The guy is really cool, the plant is never going to be the same
The guy was really cool, plant never going to be the same
How is you with dogs?
This guy is super cute
The Emergency break is up and the background is a parking lot
Its a Pothos not a Philodendron.
My plants are hassling me for a plantsitter like this now. I should never have let them use the internet!
Love it! Very creative.
What a fu guy and he must get have a fun relationship with his co-worker to do this. :)
I need him to be my friend. Awesome
I am so up voting this
I look forward to seeing more adventures from plant. Awesome!
Love it, great idea. The word needs more people who are kind to plants!
What a fun guy-lucky plant!
I wish I can be taken out like that!
the plant does not want to go back to the owner
naww that's the cutest ever!
I think this coworker likes the girl. And on her place I would totally date him! :)
She should MARRY this guy --- life would never be boring!
How cute they are!
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
Ask plant watching co-worker to marry me!
Shoulda tought the plant to swim so the owner couldnt drown it
OMG!
I killed my co-workers plant in just a few days.. perhaps I should have been more enthusiastic!
*phil-o-dendron* is gonna run away....keep a tight leash on him!
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!
Feeling happy to read this article :)
What a caring, sharing guy. Not sure the plant would agree with all those changes though.
Seriously...way too much time on his hands! LOL!
I'm in love with that guy
Insanely funny! Thank you!
I think he could have edited half of the photos out. Though it would still have been dumb.
I guess the next time you have to be careful in what you ask for ...too funny
If I had a friend like that....<3
Love it, even got a little tear, so touching!
love it, even got a tear
that is so funny
lol I love this guy! hahahah (even though the plant is gonna dry from the shock after all these movings...
Very clever indeed!
How do i get this guy to plantsit my ivy?
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'
Selfie is missing.
Good sense of humor! Amazingly, lovely!!!
Loved it
What a jerk. The plant's agoraphobic. That's why it's an indoor plant. And the guy didn't even put SPF on the plant and now it's sunburned.
OMG! What an awesome friend. I want to clone him multiple times and send him to all my single friends! Totally adorable pics
All the plants need now is a girlfriend. :o)
ha ha, get a life, dude!
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
Omg i love it!!!!! Really funny!
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!!
Can he watch me? I never realized what a boring life I live! Hilarious!
Thanks for the giggles. You're an awesome plant sitter.
Seriously, marry me right now.
I adore this
Nobody ever took care of a plant so beautifully
this plant is probably like " dude im a fucking plant just put me in the sun and give me water.Thats it, but i do like playing light-saber"
How irresponsible to take that young plant on a railway track!
So, she's going to go out with him now, right?
I've never wanted a plant... before now.
Did the coworker marry this guy? What a creative person!
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 :)
Wonderful! My plants aren't speaking to me anymore!
I loved how others joined the play and you should never let the plant drive & text. Just saying. LOL
Haha what a sweet plant-keeper!
Love this!
What a cute guy.
