15 Amazingly Accurate Things That'll Happen After You Work in an Office for Too Long
As evidenced in this Buzzfeed video, there are certain habits you'll develop working in an office.

You’ll start to care less and less about what you look like. You’ll develop an addiction to coffee—even if you didn’t originally like the taste of it. And you’ll even begin to have fantasies about doing strange things to your co-workers (don’t act shocked).

The good news is that you’re not the only weirdo. Don’t believe me? Watch this video by BuzzFeed and try telling me that it’s not the realest thing you’ve seen this week.
