A colleague received an email from the boss saying 'We need to talk ASAP about the project.' He thought he was in big trouble. So he spent the whole day being nervous and preparing explanations. But when he finally went to the boss, the boss just wanted to ask if he had any new ideas for the project. It was a huge misunderstanding but also quite funny in retrospect.
In our office, there was a miscommunication about a meeting time. One person thought it was at 9 am and sent out a reminder. But actually, it was scheduled for 11 am. So, a bunch of people showed up early and were sitting around waiting. When the others arrived at the correct time, they were all confused. Eventually, they realized the mistake and had a good laugh about it.
There was a situation where a new employee thought that 'Casual Friday' meant coming to work in pajamas. So he showed up in his full-on sleepwear. Everyone was really surprised at first, but then they all had a great laugh. He was a bit embarrassed but it became a really funny story in the office.
As I mentioned before, sex - related stories in the office are inappropriate, so I don't have any to share.
A colleague of mine went into the office bathroom. He thought he was alone and started singing at the top of his lungs. But then another guy came out of one of the stalls. My colleague was so embarrassed and ran out red - faced.
Sure. There was a time when a colleague hid all the staplers in the office in the morning. Everyone was so confused when they couldn't find them to staple their important papers. It took them hours to realize it was a prank and finally found all the staplers in a big box under the meeting table. It was really hilarious.
In an office, there was a rumor of a 'ghost' in the supply closet. One day, a new employee heard the rumors and decided to check it out. When he opened the door, a whole bunch of old papers and files fell on him. It turned out that the closet was over - stuffed and the door was not properly closed. So every time someone walked by and made a little vibration, things would shift and it sounded like there was something spooky going on inside.
At one office Christmas party, the boss decided to do a Secret Santa gift exchange. One guy got a huge box. When he opened it, there was a life - sized cardboard cutout of the boss with a speech bubble that said 'Work harder!'. Everyone burst out laughing, including the boss himself.
Sure. There was this one time in my office when a colleague accidentally sent a very personal email to the whole company instead of just one person. He was so embarrassed but it was hilarious for the rest of us.
Well, there was this time in the office when a new employee thought the photocopier was also a scanner. He tried to scan a document by putting it on the copier glass and then pressing random buttons. The copier started making all kinds of strange noises and printed out dozens of blank pages. It was hilarious.
Well, there was this one time when a co - worker accidentally sent an email to the whole company instead of just to one person. It was supposed to be a joke about how much coffee he drinks, but everyone in the office got a good laugh out of it. And then it became a running joke in the office for weeks.
There was once a time when a colleague accidentally sent an email to the wrong person. Instead of the boss, it went to the entire office list. The email was about his secret plan to surprise the boss on his birthday. Everyone in the office then joined in on the plan and it turned out to be a great office celebration.
An office worker had a big report to finish. Instead of working on it, he spent the whole morning looking at pictures of cute animals online. Every time he thought about starting the report, he found another adorable cat picture to look at. By lunchtime, he had a huge collection of bookmarked animal photos but not a single word written for the report.
