we all need somebody to hate on

What does “ONLY” mean in this sentence?

Libraries usually make me sleepy but not if there are pods around!

Even zombies know to be afraid of the pod people. We know what they would do to you. DO NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT, DO NOT TALK TO THE POD PEOPLE!!

I was just about to climb on this guy’s plant. Good thing he stopped me. Banzai trees aren’t terribly sturdy. In hindsight, that was just a bad idea.

It used to be that young college students were weary of growing up to work in a cubicle farm. Cubicle is one of those words that sounds cold and uninviting. Pod just sounds goddamn strange. I hope I never work in one of those.

Shouldn’t the plants be in containers that have more than water only? Like, maybe, some potting soil?

Can you imagine having to make an appointment to fire this person ??
Boss man : “We need to talk. ”
Pathological Librarian Pod Person : “Sorry, I’m booked till the 5th of next month, come back then, and we can talk…
AND DON’T TOUCH MY POD !!!”

She should paint her pod lime green. That’d keep the triflers away.

Ah~ this is one of those people… when I walk by her pod, I will scritch my fingernails across her fabric walls and lean on her “doorway” when chatting with her pod-mate. Lucky me~ she’ll hate me so much she won’t even THINK of asking me to water her plants when she goes on vacation.

Funny thing is…
I think bamboo is a plant that just sits in water, no soil.
And I think it’s supposed to bring good luck or something too.
Guess it works better for drenching archival papers though.

“Urban dictionary” defines this note very interesting!
” Stay off my uterus and don’t lean on my
vulva! If you want to talk about it make an
appointment!”

I’d like to see the inside of this pod. It must be covered with notes to self because she’s clearly used all of her push-pins!

She has her plants in water? Like out of the toilet? I’ve never seen no plants grow out of no toilet!

Gratuitous amounts of exclamation points bother me. I wonder if she is capable of screaming that loud?
