200,000 People On Facebook Decided To Roleplay A Dysfunctional Office Together, And It’s An Absolute Madhouse (30 Pics)
Humanity has been trying to come to terms with the unique existential despair and cultural idiosyncrasies of working in an office for about as long as offices have existed. One of the latest and greatest coping mechanisms is this chaotic Facebook group where roughly 200,000 people pretend to be colleagues in a completely dysfunctional office.
Much of what goes on in this group is hilarious, but it’ll be especially appreciated by anyone who’s a fan of The Office or who loves to commiserate about office life in general. Scroll on and see if you recognize your office life in any of these absurd situations!

The group itself seems to be quite an orderly place, the chaos that it fosters notwithstanding. The rules include demands that members stay in character (as oblivious office workers) and stay on topic when they post. It’s easy to understand why these rules are important, as the group has nearly 200,000 members and gets thousands of posts a month.

Did Ken put on the costume and never take it off, or was Ken the victim of a worse fate?

Sorry but no chest hair, no open shirt. We only hire the manly manest men.
More interesting is why the group exists in the first place. More than just a roleplay exercise, it seems like a place where people cope in some way with the frustrations of their office lives. What is it about office life that has made so many people dread it and create works of film, art and literature to address it?

Groupon vendors are notoriously cranky and don't like Groupon customers. Save your money and do the colonoscopy yourselves. Make a day of it.
A survey by Monster.com reported that 26% of the workers they surveyed about office life would rather get a painful root canal than work in their office. Workers resent commute and parking costs as well as the time they spend.
The problem isn’t just a modern one - the movie Office Space was made in 1999 and the American version of The Office wrapped up in 2013. But the lockdowns of recent years have had their own special impact on our perceptions of office life. Many people have realized that their work can remain unchanged or even improve when they do it from home. That same Monster survey indicated that 38% of the workers surveyed claimed they would consider leaving their job if it mandated working from the office even a single day per week.

but my wife is OK with me having a work affair. She says me not pestering her for s*x all the time is the glue that keeps our marriage together
Working for home has shown some workers that offices can reduce the quality of their work. Large offices can be distracting, they can lack privacy, and can introduce a potentially unwanted social dimension to work. Meanwhile, we can enjoy all of our preferential comforters at home.

Also Mikey, it would be considerate of you to wait with the door opened just a little gap for the tp delivery, not wide open, your pants to your ankles, with you tapping your foot, a little patience please. Edit: a word.

We don't have assigned parking at work, but I almost always get the same spot. I'm irrationally irritated when someone is in "my" spot before me. But I'd never demand they move or even suggest it.

So, I know the first quote is from The Office, is Dominic's response something I'm just not getting?

Reminds me of that song in the Pajama Game musical, “Once a Year Day”: Look at Charlie, up a tree, kissing Katie’s ear. Charlie’s wife is mad as hell! Oh well, it happens once a year!”

If that happened to me they can expect me at the office in 7-10 days. Because that's apparently how long it will take for me to be able to buy gas. My car doesn't run on 1 slice of pizza and a soda.
