No matter whether you work in a corporate office, a retail store, or a fast-food restaurant, every employed person has to deal with co-workers at one time or another.
Co-workers can be your best friend, that person who microwaves fish in the break room, and everything in between.
I’ve rounded up the funniest, most relatable tweets I could find about life at work, hope they bring you some laughs!

100% sure my coworker has invented a dog so he can take multiple long breaks daily under the guise of dog walks. never mentioned the dog until 2 weeks ago, now he’s “brb”ing 3 walks a day. boss asked to see a pic of the dog and he said “sorry it’s sleeping”. I encourage this.

I have a coworker who keeps cans of pop in her desk drawer and drinks them room temp. Tepid diet Dr. Pepper. Every day. Haunting. Concerning. Perhaps indicative of criminal behavior.

One time I had a customer walk in literally 5 minutes before we closed the restaurant and she had the audacity to yell “yay I made it”

Didn't realize how few perks we have at the office til I said "we're allowed to listen to the radio on Friday!" to a new hire in a way that can be likened to a girl of 12 saying "I got an orange for Christmas!" as her papa lay dying of gangrene after the Battle of Fredericksburg

The problem with teaching a man to fish is that eventually somebody will microwave that fish in the work break room.

office culture is someone bringing in donuts and everyone for some reason refusing to take a whole one and cutting off 3/8 of the donut and then at the end of the day there's like 17/25ths of 9 different donuts left

Working in retail was wild, people just tell you things about their personal life and you just stand there… Not knowin' how to respond to “I'm going to a funeral” or “I’m getting a divorce” like that sucks… $13.48 is your total.
