Sitting in an office with your coworkers for the best part of eight hours a day means you're bound to become comfortable with each other. And when you're spending that much time with the same people day in and day out, it's easy to let your guard down and say some pretty stupid things. Whether it's gossip over lunch or small talk at the water cooler, workplace conversations can often be the furthest thing from intelligence.
Here are 20 tweets showing some of the dumbest and funniest conversation snippets people have overheard their coworkers say. We don't know about you, but they definitely make us feel a little better about ourselves – and our coworkers.
"Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'... into the future."
Time is moving forward so freaking fast and we CANNOT HANDLE IT. Seriously, if these 25 tweets don't freak you out even a little bit then you're either lying or having a full-blown panic attack and have yet to acknowledge it.
Don't worry, we're currently in the denial phase ourselves, and the panic attack is an ending wave crashing down on us. Not to sound dramatic or anything.
A truly inspiring thread that everyone should read. Age is just a number. You don't have to have it all figured out by a certain age -- in fact, a majority of us don't find our paths until much later in life and that's OK.
Everyone's journey is different, as author Tim Hiller says, "Don't compare your beginning to someone else's middle, or your middle to someone else's end. Don't compare the start of your second quarter of life to someone else's third quarter."
Never give up on your dreams.
Here are people who are accomplishing their dreams, regards of their age:
Dear Hollywood, instead of your obsessive need to turnout re-makes of classics, why not look to history for some incredible stories that have yet to be told?
Here, Twitter has also given you a jumpstart of some awesome movie ideas, all thanks to Twitter user @KylePlantEmoji.

Andrew Kimmel, a man who decided to use some miles to maintain a certain status with American Airlines, booked a $400 flight to Mexico and had quite the unforgettable experience.
When you fly so often, you often rack up some travel perks in the form of mileage and more. Kimmel is an avid flyer, flying up to three times a week when working in news and twice a week working as a reality producer. Both jobs required Kimmel to travel all over the United States. And whenever he had time off, he would plan trips out of the country.
Last year, Kimmel had obtained the status of 'Executive Platinum' with American Airlines. Such a status gave him three free checked bags, top of the list for complimentary upgrades on all domestic flights, free same-day flight changes and four free system-wide upgrades. Meaning, if you were flying economy to Asia, you would be able to use one system-wide upgrade that would bump you to business. So what would essentially start as an $800 economy ticket could end up being a $5,000 business class seat.
Recently, American Airlines changed what it takes to hold the 'Executive Platinum' status. To achieve the 'Executive Platinum' status you once had to spend $12K a year on flights (pre-tax), now you must spend $15K a year to maintain the status.
In a Twitter thread, Kimmel shared his insane and unbelievable story when traveling to Mexico:
An apocalyptic blood-red sky looms over Australian as the fires rage on.
One Twitter user, Dr. Bodie Ashton, has gone in-depth on how truly devastating this crisis is, mapping it out for those outside, or even in a different part of Australia and cannot fully comprehend the severity of it all.
It's been a rocky start to 2020, we can only hope this isn't a set-tone for the rest of the year.
We continue to pray for Australia during these hard times.
Um, excuse me, how is there no Robin Hood in this list?
To quote @pricepeterson, who started this thread, "A lot of these answers are making me UNcomfortable thank u."
And we truly, truly mean that.
So, Disney lovers, what do you think? Is this list correct or are there way sexier scenes on Disney+ that no one has yet to mention?

The justice system has failed many, many unfortunate souls. Including Willie Simmons, who was sentenced to life without parole, in 1982, for stealing $9.
Investigative journalist Beth Shelburne has brought Simmons' story into the spotlight when sharing this man's story via Twitter. Not only was Willie Simmons sentenced to life for something so ridiculous, but he has also been and still is currently imprisoned in one of the most notorious prisons in Alabama.
Alabama Legislature passed something called the "Habitual Felony Offender Act" to crack down on repeat criminals, back in 1977. And journalist Shelburne is here to shed some light on just some of the injustice created by this "Habitual Felony Offender Act."
The kids have spoken! And they want a lot. A lot.
Some kids had funny, and maybe even reasonable requests on their list. Reasonable to us, at least.
Others are in a big, disappointing surprise when Santa doesn't bring them the new iPhone and other outrageously expensive items that were requested.
Hands up if your workplace is engaging in 'Secret Santa' this year!
Secret Santa, a great way for employees to engage in some holiday cheer by purchasing a gift (usually a limited amount) for an unsuspecting recipient, and then forgetting all about it until the last second. Thus resulting in the gift cards.
Don't even try to deny it, we know because we're one of you.
How would you describe color to a blind person? Do you describe the emotions usually felt with each color? Things that are associated with said color? Do you have a cultural interpretation for each color?
There doesn't seem to be a right or wrong answer but it's definitely interesting to read what people have come up with that describes colors for them.
Asking for a friend, whose idea was it to place a Santa in every mall?
In a strange holiday tradition, parents will stand in line, at the mall, and pay money to place their children on a strangers lap for an awkward photo.
So naturally, we needed to round up all the tweets about the experience:
