Nothing brings people together more than a mutual disgust for co-workers’ crappy office etiquette. (Does the new guy from IT really need to bring his microwaved salmon and broccoli into the all-hands meeting? Would it kill Karen from marketing to courtesy flush?)
Misery loves company at any company. Here are 27 relatable tweets about the struggle to work with other people.

There's a guy eating in the office bathroom, which is cool because I didn't need to eat today or any day for the rest of my life.

The hardest part about being at a new job is not getting into arguments. A coworker will be like “im a flat-earther” and you just have to be like “cool so how was ur weekend”

I’m in a Cold War with some stranger in my office bathroom over who can sit longest in a stall waiting for the other person to leave so they can finally shit. I loathe her, but dammit I respect her.

Hell is having to be around a coworker who has the opposite sense of humor as you while he shows you shitty memes for 5 hours. I am in hell

The hierarchy of jerk-ish workplace behavior is as follows...
— CoreyRadio (@CoreyRadio) January 29, 2019
1. Stealing someone’s lunch
2. Taking the last of the coffee and not making a new pot
3. Not resetting the timer on the microwave
If you do any of these things I hope you fall running full speed.
I have a coworker who might not understand how email works because every time he sends me one he immediately gets up, walks the 15 yards from his office to mine, and says "I sent you an email." Then he tells me what the email he sent me says.

There is no greater hell in this world than when a coworker recognizes your shoes under the bathroom stall & strikes up a conversation.

Overheard a coworker with a stuffy nose say “Do you like creamy cheeses?” and I immediately handed in my resignation.
— matt prindle (@GriefBison) January 25, 2019
Office etiquette question: person beside me has been sniffing constantly for an hour. Do I offer a tissue? Or just seethe until home time?

A good invisalign commercial would be me uncomfortably brushing my teeth/flossing in an office bathroom while in a nearby stall a man who is completely out of breath takes a shit.

You can’t swipe left on a coworker’s face no matter how annoying they are.
