Or "why's that?"

Did someone burn toast? It's giving me a headache.

[–] TypFaffke@feddit.org 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This one isn't as threatening to the coworkers though

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 23 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It totally is. Seeing someone you know have a stroke and also being responsible to do something about it is pretty harsh

[–] jim_v@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Being responsible for the smell of burnt toast in the break room is no walk in the park, either.

“PC Load Letter? What the fuck does that mean??”

My favorite was working in a television control room and asking, "is that supposed to be on screen?" The panic as the director looks back and forth at the 20 or so screens in front of them always made me giggle!!!

"I miss insert coworker. This place just isn't the same after the accident."

"Do you smell smoke?"

[–] madjo@piefed.social 39 points 2 days ago

"what's that sound?"

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 19 points 2 days ago

"Do you guys smell popcorn?"

farts

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

"What's that smell?"

Audibly farts

[–] Nima@leminal.space 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

omg I had a coworker that would do this. no joke.

"Do you smell popcorn?" "no?" blarrrp "How about now?" and then he'd grin like a 12 year old.

[–] zip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I was just about to say something similar. Fart silently, then ask if they smell popcorn/gasoline/whatever. They're not likely to sniff again after they've heard you fart. That defeats the purpose!

[–] Nima@leminal.space 5 points 1 day ago

see thats how I would do it too, but he was a madlad and he made certain it was audible.

he wanted you to know it was he who doomed you. and he'd immediately start giggling like a kid right after.

I'm making him out to be a maniac, but he was actually super fun to work with and he was fantastic. it was an honor to stock overnights with him.

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can you train for other's safety as well?

[–] notsure@fedia.io 14 points 2 days ago

"Why do i smell swimming pool?"

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Uhhh, smells more like Flourine than Chlorine to me. Brad, you were here before us. What do you think?

"you know, I'm forklift certified."

Says the bartender to the back of house.

When my kidneys turn bad sometimes my breath tastes metallic and different.
