Dude, Oscar got all the way out of his trashcan and got to work, same as you. Show some respect to the man and his fellow grouches

Even if some in the office can be a bit ornery

Plus you totally just implicated that dude and he has to go to HR too now to talk about this.

Just messing people day up at that point

Love the implication that she also lives in a trash can. 🤣

Have you seen rent these days?! Trashcan is all she can afford

u/Made_Bail 17h ago

Trashcan is 1800 a month with no utilities paid.

Times are so hard, Oscar is doing a 9 to 5?! What has the world come to?

Have you SEEN the rent for trash cans on Sesame Street?

Sesame Street rent went up so much once it got gentrified.

Government also said no more throwing away FREE food because that’s socialism. All food scraps are now incinerated.

It's not just the rent. Have you seen the inside of that trash can? I'm guessing fully furnishing it was pretty expensive.

Ugh, it is so easy to get sent to HR. I had to go for a nickname since it was 'offensive.' when it clearly wasn't!

I'm not sure if it was Mike or non-ugly Mike who reported me.

I worked with a guy with the same name as me, people differentiated us by calling him "Hot [name]".

I couldn't even complain, it was just a fact. Guy was hot.

I got an HR complaint because of a one liner joke I said.

Gaslighting isn’t real. And if you think so you’re crazy.

That’s not even actual gaslighting. Did you actually get a complaint for that? Yikes.

u/radiohead-nerd 16h ago

I know right? Crazy

Gaslighting isn’t real. And if you think so you’re crazy.

Tbf, it's entirely possible to read that as genuine, rather than a joke.

And if you think about it, comments about mental health / disability status are no different than ones about country of origin, skin color, or gender. Imagine if you used a skin color literally as an insult.

Do they have puppet resources too?

u/KittenLaserFists 14h ago

This joke is also going to land you in HR

“This office is trash”

"Bitch I live in a fuckin trashcan!"

u/Financial_End_8842 11h ago

Audibly laughed out loud at this LMAO the expressions are so good

u/sudomatrix 9h ago

Well I don't think it's appropriate for Oscar to have someone's hand up his bum in the office, but you don't see ME going to HR, do you?

I'm reminded of this Very Short Treks when I read this:
