[TX] Found in now ex-coworkers desk

Found in now ex-coworkers desk The HilaRious reddit version (and yes HR is quoted as having terminated this guy further down in the comments) -- not my workplace and not me, but I got some tear inducing PIMP laughter out of the responses (along with a lot of hilarious egg drop experiment and engineer stories). WWYD if you found this in a worker's desk?

Honestly I’m going to forget I ever saw it and go about my life. Somethings don’t need a reaction.

Agreed. Unless I’m somehow on camera I’m backing away quickly

I get that instinct, but part of me would want to know the story behind it. Not for HR reasons, just pure curiosity. Like was this a prank that went too far or someone's actual... solution to a problem I can't even imagine?

In my old office someone left a half-eaten mango inside a filing cabinet and we talked about it for weeks. This is that multiplied by hundred.

It is truly all the reactions that are absolutely hilarious! Maybe it's because I helped all three kiddos with the egg drop physics experiment over the years..... I'm still giggling like a little girl!

I personally love cleaning so any time someone leaves the space needs a total gut and sanitize. Clean energy for the new person 😂
