Office Highkinks

Today at work, there was a 15 minute slot where the office was abnormally quiet. All you could hear was the sound of typing, the occasional chair shifting and the constant whirr of the printer spitting out reams of paper. There was no chatter, no phones ringing and it occurred to me that it was pretty nice- this abnormally quiet office.

Then, came a moan- somewhere far away from our pod. It was nothing- the innocuous sound that slips out when someone is enjoying a nice, long, satisfying stretch far far back into their seat.

But all it took was one giggle, one sneak peek at Miss K Kaif who couldn't help but let loose a "What was that?!!" and a big giggle from Miss CalmFarm, for me to erupt into hysterics.

We were all thinking the same thing- the same kinky ridiculous thing that made absolutely no sense at all in the context of our open plan office. And what made it funnier was the fact that no one in the pod right next to the suspected moaner was laughing- there they were, serious as ever, typing and staring solemnly at their computer screens.

Later, I approached Miss DB and asked her if she'd heard the moan and whether she'd found it funny. She started laughing before I'd even finished the question and admitted that she'd heard it but she just chose to ignore it because she didn't know what it was.

This always happens- I bet everyone in the office heard it but everyone pretended like it was nothing! I mean, it was nothing, but it might've been something!!
