Ah, office life.

Being stuck under one roof with the same people eight hours a day, five days a week, can either be entertaining or quite infuriating. Either way, there’s never a dull moment with all the wacky characters you’re sure to encounter on the job.

If you need a helpful reminder that you’re not alone with crazy inner-workplace antics, check out our gallery below of the 30 hilarious photos of people at the office.

1. The Perfect Desk Accessories

We’re not sure how the owner of these precious little felines isn’t distracted by their desktop presence, but we’re loving this setup either way. Let’s just hope they understand spreadsheets, amirite?

2. Quick Stretch Break

(via @justinecomms)

Eight hours is a long time! Can we really blame these two colleagues for sneaking a little stretch into their day? Don’t worry, no one’s looking (well, except Instagram!).

3. The New Normal?

(via @theofficeverse)

If this is the future of the workplace, we’ll take it! Taking meetings from swinging chairs? Floating in a plant-filled white space? I mean, it does seem too good to be true, but wishful thinking!

4. Office Life… or TikTok Life?

There’s no lack of excitement for these coworkers—even with social distancing in place. This team of mask-wearing colleagues filmed a TikTok dance at work, and proudly posted it on Instagram.

5. Balancing Act

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-1-19-08-pm

(via @ferevs)

One highly skilled employee had a little time on their hands, and created a fruit-filled piece of art. Now that the photo evidence is out of the way, guess they can finally dig in!

6. Forward Thinking

(via @hubgrade_focus)

This is quite the office space. We can’t tell if this is the real thing or just a dream floor plan, but something tells us our pal on the slide isn’t getting in his daily steps!

7. Optical Illusion?

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-2-37-23-pm

(via @agathemoli)

There’s no way this girl is really posing from a wall of her office, right? Either way, we commend her creativity. Now we just want to know how to recreate this image ourselves.

8. Nice Reflection

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-2-40-23-pm

(via @riccardociccerone)

Someone at the office had a little too much fun with their paperweight. We can’t imagine having a desk accessory that allowed us to look at our reflection all day long. We’d seriously get nothing done.

9. Office On-the-Go

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-2-41-51-pm

(via @sternarts)

Well, this is different! This portable mini office is stationed right in the middle of what appears to be a cute row of restaurants. A strange location if you ask us, but we’ll definitely give creativity points where they’re due.

10. Strange Office

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-2-45-45-pm

(via @strange_office)

There’s nothing stranger than an office that actually refers to itself as Strange Office, amirite? We can’t personally speak on the “weirdness” that goes on behind closed doors, but we’re definitely intrigued.

11. We Got This!

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-2-55-09-pm

(via @olsonolson)

It’s never too early to start! Looks like these two little munchkins are business-savvy sweethearts in-the-making—and we’re totally here for it. We’re sure you’re making mommy proud.

12. Office Decor

(via @lulubellecarbondale)

We’re pretty sure these desk decor pieces sum up how everyone has felt at their workplace at some point or another. Just don’t let your boss see these when they walk by your workspace!

13. Peace Out!

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-3-02-53-pm

(via @welcomedigital_agency)

Okay, this employee has way better things to do than being stuck in an office. Later guys, don’t mind me as I go scuba diving. We’d been lying if we said we didn’t want to follow suit.

14. Social Distancing

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-3-19-03-pm

(via @pacificworkplaces)

Four months ago, this photo would seem so bizarre. But with the current state of our society, it looks like measuring distance between us and our colleagues is the new norm. That said, still a funny image.

15. 2020 Work Life

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-3-10-09-pm

(via @lauravanaethon)

Speaking of social distancing, this presumably six-foot-tall man is making completely sure that there are actually six feet of distance between people standing around. Not sure about you, but we have anxiety thinking about the germs he’s touching right now on the floor.

16. Not Your Typical View

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-3-30-55-pm

(via @chocomo70)

Pots and pans aren’t necessarily the first thing that come to mind when we think office space (home or otherwise). But hey, if it’s working for this employee, that’s all that matters. At least she has her teapot at the ready, which we’re certain comes in handy for those long workdays.

17. Over It

over-it

(via @lagaiapolemica)

This poor employee has clearly had it. I mean, TBH, haven’t we all had days when we just wanted to collapse on the office table? Here’s hoping they get the recharge they need!

18. Middle of Nowhere

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-3-37-32-pm

(via @officefurniture2go)

So… this is pretty cool—just not something we’re used to seeing! This see-through office space is essentially in the middle of a forest! And uses all-natural light during the day. If anything, this totally makes us want to head to the office.

19. Well, This Is Interesting!

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-3-40-04-pm

(via @softriot)

With today’s turn of events, this shared retro cubicle seems perfectly fit for social distancing. Added bonus? The throwback electronics. At the very least, they’re perfect for Instagram content.

20. The Hardest Worker at the Office

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-4-10-35-pm

(via @anthony_brower)

This guy is ready to take on the day—headphones and all. He also looks super serious, so try to mess with his work vibe and you just might be in for a rude awakening.

21. Remote Control Everything

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-4-17-25-pm

(via @passion.setup)

With the way things are going these days, it’s no surprise that we can use remote controls for literally everything. Are there really three controls for one office device? My, we feel so behind.

22. Howdy, Neighbor!

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-4-24-59-pm

(via @etherealsiren)

Someone got a little surprise greeting from their cube mate! Nothing says salutations like a smiley hot dog—who’s with us here?

23. Casual Coffee Run

casual-coffee-run

(via @dontgetjillous)

We’re not sure if it was Halloween, or if this employee just wanted to give her local Starbucks a little scare—but either way, her monster hand has us creeped out. More importantly, how is she able to function with that giant thing?

24. Food Fight!

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-4-27-51-pm

(via @pastor_withbluehair)

Things can surely get monotonous in an office, but looks like this employee’s coworkers took things to another level of boredom! This young lady looks none too pleased posing as a walking salad.

25. Just Another Boring Day at the Office

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-4-53-14-pm

(via @attolis)

We’re not too sure what’s going on here, but it definitely seems like the result of someone who has too much time on his hands. But also, ouch! This looks painful.

26. Thanks for the Memo?

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-4-56-39-pm

(via @koryloden)

We’re really baffled by this one. Umm, thanks for that. We’re guessing this employee wanted to keep others out of their space—we just wish they did so in a more tasteful manner.

27. Is That a Donut?

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-5-01-17-pm

(via @tiffanevera)

Someone received quite the office visit in the form of a stuffed donut animal. Let’s be real, we wouldn’t mind seeing a life-sized dessert plopped in front of us.

28. Damsel in Distress

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-5-02-37-pm

(via @jordanburbank7)

This employee came to work for the day to find that one of his coworkers left him a little something. We’re not used to seeing Barbie in such a way, and we don’t think we’re okay with it.

29. Roll It Out

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-5-06-11-pm

(via @skarpers)

One of the many perks of having your own office? Doing things you wouldn’t otherwise get to do—a la rolling out your legs if they’re sore. Can’t blame a girl for making the most of her space!

30. Superman!

screen-shot-2020-07-06-at-5-07-56-pm

(via @diamondroze135)

Employee of the year? Looks like this worker took a break from her duties to pose like one of our favorite superheroes. She for sure deserves an A for her efforts.

Speaking of office life, HERE’s what it’s like touring the office of a major skincare company!
