Overheard at the Office #12

A colleague tossed a Slurpee cup into the trash.  The next morning it was on his desk with a yellow sticky note stating "Please do not throw liquids in the trash. Building rules."  He then put another yellow sticky over it asking for a copy of these building rule, and then tossed it back into the trash (still containing a sizable amount of liquid).  It wasn't there the next morning. 

I would have probably just left a note to stop wasting my sticky notes.

Overheard at the Office #10

Coworker: ....I'm just trying to mitigate what has to be done out there.
Me: No, if it needs to be done, then you need to do it.
Coworker: right....
Me: Don't use big words if you don't know what they mean.
