I know it's minor, but when he walked in the door, they saw him and immediately turned off all the lights. I'm curious on the office layout that lets him see into the closets and bathrooms from the office door.

Edit: Or even see 100 people from the door. I've been in several cubicle-farm type offices, and I don't think I've seen a main open area where you could fit more than 20 people in one person's field of view.
I think he needs to rewrite his story to take place in a manufacturing plant and he walked in on the mezzanine or catwalk looking down on to the factory floor. Or a football stadium.

I'm going with, if this happened at all, he walked in on a Sunday, saw two people were in the office and having sex. They closed the door to their office, put clothes back on, and then never talked about it . He then concluded that if he saw that 2 of his 100 employees were in on Sunday and having sex, then it stands to reason that 100 of his 100 employees must have been in on a Sunday and all having sex at the same time, and never talked about it.

Also, how would you feel knowing that you weren't invited to an all-company, 100 person orgy? Everyone in the office is totally down with having sex with, or at least next to, everyone else in the office, as long as that one guy isn't there to kill the mood.

I mean, I worked in some big offices and while there were some hot women there, I wouldn't really want to see most of the people I was around all day naked let alone touch them. But who knows what happens when the pure sexual tension of a 100 bored, tired people who just want to get home and watch Netflix unloads!

I like the part where one guy walks over to the light switch and then waits an arbitrary amount of time or somehow has a signal with everyone to know when to put the lights back on

Though thanks this story for making me remember the Doug episode, when someone steale's Bebe's radio and they turn off the lights to allow the person to return it without getting in trouble. BUT THEN THEY TORN THE LIGHTS ON TOO EARLY and I forget who the revealed radio stealer is

Depression can really gently caress with your personal hygiene. I imagine there's other priorities in that person's life.

I do hope it's fake, because I hope that no kids died, but still

Yeah, self neglect is incredibly common - personal hygiene, weight, etc. It's not just being a sad sack of tears for the rest of your life.

Why they felt the need to make a macro about their kids death is another thing though.

While I know plenty of sadbrains who go without showering for a week (I am functional and only ever go three days without showering), I prefer to believe it's stdh because no one would ever decide the best way to share their grief over their child's death would be by posting an outdated image macro on Imgur... Right?

As a recovering sadbrains, this. Some days, just being able to get out of bed was a victory.

I wouldn't wish clinical depression on anyone, because it's the most soul-destroying thing, but I am so sick of people who act like they know what it's like to be honest to God clinically loving depressed because they've been sad before. It's not sad. It's like being dead inside.

If you are able to do more than you could last week, even if it's just basic self-care, that is worth feeling good about.

Really doesn't belong in this thread because it's entirely plausible. Why it's an image macro is another thing altogether. Not sure who the audience would be for it, unless it's from some sort of bereavement therapy forum, in which case more power to them.

Now post something less sad please

For me depression is less feeling bad and more being unable to feel good. So you feel lovely because things that would normally make you feel good just...don't.
