i'm the invitation to a work sponsored outing/team building event where the upper management schedules it for everyone, but blocks off time for nobody, so nobody in the low ranks (operations) can go (keep working, slaves) but with a shiny veneer of "We tried! Why didn't you come along and be a part of the team!"

ok so the floor drain and the can are connected then? always wondered why you'd hear water moving in there when u flushed

yeah. there's a P-trap in the floor drain (and all sewer drains, in theory) that blocks sewer gas from escaping. If you never run water through it, it'll evaporate and dry out and then you have an air path from sewer line to the interior of the bathroom.

idea for an office refrigerator: the shelves are actually very very slow conveyor belts moving things to the left, like 3 inches a day. the left wall is a trapdoor that opens into a garbage can
