When you say whoops. or uh-oh and everyone near you runs as fast as they can to get away. Or when you walk into a 6x6 janitors room, when said janitor is in the process of pouring industrial strength amonia into a bucket of concentrated chlorine.(Yeah it happened to me. I kicked his ass, then everyone at work made fun of him for weeks on end.) ---

-when you have to sharpen your own pencils. -you can get a paper cut by picking up an 8 x 11 sheet. -If you spin in your swivel chair too fast it will come unscrewed and fall on the floor. -If you don’t keep yours eyes open you could walk into something and bump your head. -One small error means… you have to hit backspace. Damn ☹ ---
