Exception to the Rule
Generally, I hate people that send me those websites and expect me to stop whatever I'm doing and look at them. That isn't really true. I really just hate the people who send me more worthless shit in the e-mail than the porn people.
Anyway, with that as a little background, check out www.overheardintheoffice.com. Anyone who works in a corporate or similarly shitty environment will laugh. And even if you don't work in one of the little cubicle farms, you will have a better understanding of why the rest of us come home at night happy to have just made it through another day without bitch slapping someone.
Some samples from overheardintheoffice:
"Teacher: . . . yeah, they outnumber us thirty to one and we're not allowed to carry stun guns."
"Guy #1: Those lawyers are like rats, they know they suck but do it anyway.
Guy #2: Rats don't know they suck . . ."
"Floor supervisor: To begin, I understand some of you have complaints. First, can anyone tell me exactly what it is we are asking you to do that we are not paying you to do?"
"Co-worker: If you could un-fuck this situation, I'd appreciate it."
"Tech Lead: our requirements are in terms of bells and whistles at this point, not actual business functionality."
"Elderly Boss: I need you to plug in this lamp for me.
Employee: Are you asking me to crawl under your desk?
Elderly Boss: You're the only one who can. You're my monkey."
and finally . . .
"Girl: It said my cookies aren't turned on? What am I supposed to do, pour some milk on myself and show them my tits?"

A jewel that didn't make the list:
Female co-worker: Ooh, this melon is so juicy!
Male co-worker: For God's sake, it's like being on the set of an amateur porn film with you sometimes.
An addition from MY office:
"Editor: I had a message from (the crazy woman.) It was all heavy breathing. I was relieved to find out she was on the treadmill."
From MY office:
"Let people know casually - like K - but be sure no one says anything to sellers."
Like it's only a rumor but you can't tell anyone? I'm confused.
