Office jokes have a tendency to complete the full circle, from being funny in the beginning, to downright repulsive in the middle, and eventually funny again in the end. In the beginning, the thought of you joining the office league hasn’t entered your brain yet. But then the unthinkable happens and you find yourself in the middle of it as colleagues start to call you by a name that isn’t yours but are too tired to pay it a thought. Just when you’re done with your 100 files of work, another 200 are added on to your desk. You start to have panic attacks every time your desk phone rings and your boss calls you in. From the outside, your colleagues can see the boss’ cabin being struck by lightning while you’re in there. Everything you once found funny was happening to you. The jokes had lost their fun-appeal and seemed to have taken up the form of a piercing spear to poke you with. And after having spent close to three decades, you move out of the herd and suddenly find the giggling back with addition to pointing and laughing every time you see the younger ones tell a tale about their office. In dedication to the time that you can never forget, here is a collection of jokes and some funny one-liners on office.
