Our anonymous submitter says his coworkers were taking stacks of paper towels from the bathroom and putting them in kitchen. “HR evidently does not agree with this practice and decided to enact a one-towel play in the break-room kitchen,” he says. (The office billing manager added the follow-up on the towels’ behalf.)

I didn’t think i’d ever see a kitchen appliance more inappropriately anthropomorphized than this fridge, but I think this dishwasher note (from an anonymous submitter in England) dials the WTF-factor up to 11.

This note represents pretty much everything about office culture that makes me cringe. Appropriately enough, I can’t even bring myself to call out the specifics — it’s just too overwhelming. (But the sign will always be there…every day, taunting me.)
