I worked in a shared office space and my boss wanted me to inform my coworkers any time I left my station…..even if it was brief. Even for bathroom breaks. I mean, where could I be if not at my desk? At break, at lunch, or on the can. The first two I would have told my coworkers about anyway cuz I’m not a dick.

So then each time I had to take a bathroom break, I’d yell out to my coworkers- “Hey guys- heading down to the bathroom. I’ll be gone anywhere from 3-15 minutes, you know, depending.” It didn’t take long for my boss to turn a blind eye to my jackassery after that. Good times.
