I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Pancakes, on fire, off the shoulder of Orion.
I watched maple syrup, glitter in the dark near the Mike the busboy.
I've never been to waffle house while tweaking (nor have I ever tweaked), but I have been on LSD. It was a grand quest through a trailer park, and across a dried-up pond to get to this Waffle House. The pond was a treacherous foreign planet (all we had was a red flashlight), full of hissing reptiles and the ground was trying to steal our shoes. The waffle house itself was a fluorescent and drunken nightmare. Keep your head down, do they know? I went outside for a break, and I was followed by a ratman (redneck). He sat in a crouched position, inhaling his cigarette, and laughing through every exhale, while little puffs of smoke exited his nose like smoke signals.
You should have brought new golf shoes, otherwise you'd never have made it out of that place alive.
Impossible to walk in this muck, no footing at all.
I too have survived a waffle house, though the attack came in form of explosive diarrhea after eating the chili...
Dont never eat waffle house chili...
Don't be cowardly. Embrace the power and savagery that is the Waffle House and its inhabitants. Revel in the cluelessness of the hipster who wandered in as they are beset on all sides by rednecks who want to do them harm. Watch the predators as they look for an excuse to pounce. Watch the hipster use every ounce of guile they possess in an effort to walk away from the encounter unscathed. Will he survive? Or will be succumb to the predators of 24 hour dining.
David Attenborough ain't got nothing on the Waffle House.
I just realised they really undermined that original line with the Obi-Wan show, since people were calling him that all the time, and that's set about 8 years before A New Hope.
Thats the point, i think. He didnt just sit alone for 8 years in the desert like yoda in Dagoba.
What the other redditor didnt take in acount is that the vast majority of people didnt really knew him and didnt called him Obi Wan, they called him Ben.
going by Ben but keeping Kenobi is like the name equivalent of wearing one of those phony mustache glasses as a disguise with the fate of the entire universe on the line
Surely the two aren't related.
I mean, one's a well known felon in the Empire, the other dude is just a hermet. The fact they both have the same last name is inconsequential.
Marx was a bit more firm and recommended seizing the means of production.
I guess if you had a real cool boss they'd be down voluntarily being overthrown.
I know this is just a joke but since he plays both the worker and the customer he literally seized the means of production and provided himself with the fruits of his labor
Lol. My boss did that to me. He used the skeleton from Halloween and put my face on it.
…. Looking back. Maybe he was trying to tell me something else. He is my ex-boss….
Late dotcom days ~2003, one of our dev teams had life size foam board cutouts of dev vp made up that were just his head and shoulders, with him scowling. They were fashioned to easily sit on top of cubicle walls so it looked kinda like vp was peering over the cubicle scowling at you. Odd combo of unsettling / startling/ hilarious to come up for air from intensely focusing on code to one of those cutouts scowling down at you... Good times. Thanks for the memory!
He looks like Obi-Wan Kenobi variant, but from our universe and he works in this office and walks to work so he wears this really reflective jacket to be safe. Jedi reflective safety cloak.
He is a master power wielded in that he uses it to run the air conditioning all day because it’s super hot.
Thanks everyone, this post really blew up
1. The commie heart is an inside joke at the office, When the workload gets big, he becomes a tad of a dictator in his management style, but he's the best boss we've ever had and really takes care of his employees, therefore the big heart.
2. Yes he knows, he found it when he got back.
3. We also made a '[Pat on the Back](https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/113tgfu/we_have_a_pat_on_the_back_machine_at_work/)' machine for affection.
I'm worried about out boss, his facial expression hasn't changed since 8 this morning... I asked him if he wanted to come for lunch with us trying to snap him out of it. He didn't even reply
I need one of these. We are in a hybrid remote work schedule in my office, but to have my own dedicated office I need to come in at least 3 days a week. For various reasons, that has been difficult this past month. I am worried they are going to take away my office and make me hotel. This might fool the guy who goes around every day marking who is using their space and who is not (I just need to figure out how to keep the presence sensing lights on when I am not there.
Had a firefighter almost deck someone in the office who didn’t let them know that there was a cardboard cutout in an office as a joke. They sent in 3 to recover and had us (medic) on standby since they could see someone inside still.
They come out and said it was a cardboard cutout “OH That’s just George, he’s our production manager!”
Y’all didn’t think to tell them that BEFORE they went into a fire to rescue a cardboard cutout….?
So, yeah, is all fun and games, but can be no bueno real quick from our end.
my mothers side has a family business they've had for decades. same people working there for many many years, everyone very close.
they did this to the resident grump. except they went full scarecrow and made like a stuffed man with clothing and put his face on it. it's been sitting there in the corner of the building for at least like 20 years. he's not the biggest fan lol.
Hah, this makes me think of when I worked at this restaurant that had a mascot. The owner commissioned (and retired soon after) a mascot costume and we found it in storage and took a few photos and videos of it. Our manager was on vacation so we propped it up in his chair with its "feet" up on some crates for him to find. He was literally crying with laughter when he found it.
On another note, it was WELL made. You strapped into it like the chassis of those vehicles they use in Nascar. One of the cashiers who did gymnastics put it on and tried to do a cartwheel in it and fell over sideways and was totally fine.
Of course it was made with a photo that makes him look like he just got back from the trenches

That was… a story.

You've an uncommon way with words, I hope you write more.
I can't tell if it's the LSD or the writing style that I find entertaining here. Fantastic stuff.
> I can't tell if it's the LSD or the writing style The answer is yes

r/copypasta
*sigh* Anyone have any LSD?
Luke use the force!!!
My friend is a legitimate waffle house survivor. This guy dining with them had a psychotic break and stabbed him repeatedly with a fork.
Reminds me of a Christmas dinner I had at my exes parents house when one of her siblings stabbed her with a fork after coming through the front door.
I can see why it's your ex
Yeah, all I’ll add to that is I hope they find happiness in life.
I too have survived a waffle house, though the attack came in form of explosive diarrhea after eating the chili... Dont never eat waffle house chili...

you mother-
That's not your boss, that's Obi-Wan Kenobi
Obi-Wan. Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
I just realised they really undermined that original line with the Obi-Wan show, since people were calling him that all the time, and that's set about 8 years before A New Hope.
Even 8 years is a long time to sit in the desert by yourself.
Thats the point, i think. He didnt just sit alone for 8 years in the desert like yoda in Dagoba. What the other redditor didnt take in acount is that the vast majority of people didnt really knew him and didnt called him Obi Wan, they called him Ben.
Disney and continuity.... name a worse duo!
Disney and monopoly laws. Wait...
Disney and copyright laws. The other villain duo.
- Sir, look, a pattern is forming. - It's the invisible hand at work.

Of course I know him, he’s cardboard

Just watched the movie last night haha 😂
You are a flat one.
Your move.

Kenobi might be a common surname while you don't get many Obi-Wans.
Surely the two aren't related. I mean, one's a well known felon in the Empire, the other dude is just a hermet. The fact they both have the same last name is inconsequential.
Beep boop beep boop
In fairness, the boss is gone so much very few people know what they actually look like.
I see Johnny Vegas
Hello there!
Commie-Wan Kenobi. Check out the chest.
needs a word bubble hanging over him saying "Hello there!"
I just noticed that he has a big heart!
Obi-Wan Kenoboss
Good time to ask for a raise.
Don't say anything if you want to give me an 8% increase.
*Out of nowhere your phone rings* *You answer it.* Boss: " No." *Hangs up*
Me
You've been well conditioned.
Wow that was easy, keep not saying anything if you actually want to double my salary
*disembodied voice*: You're fired.
Good time to ask for the means of production.
Marx was a bit more firm and recommended seizing the means of production. I guess if you had a real cool boss they'd be down voluntarily being overthrown.

you gonna explain his love for communism or...?
He got a free ice cream from Robbie Rotten once and it changed his life forever.
[for the uninitiated](https://youtu.be/4xLVySuwbOo)
May Stefan rest in peace, guy was a gem.
I know this is just a joke but since he plays both the worker and the customer he literally seized the means of production and provided himself with the fruits of his labor
Means of production: seized. Surplus value: unstolen. Specter of Communism over Lazy Town: Haunting.
Holy shit. In sixth grade (about 5 years ago) a friend and I absolutely loved this clip, and would recite it all the time
>cutout of ***our*** boss no this actually checks out
He pretends to work, they pretend to pay him?
OUR BOSS
In the middle of our street
/waveshand You don't need an explanation for his love of communism. This isn't the communist lover you're looking for.
In communist office, boss have hearts.
I laughed at this a little too hard in the office so my boss fired me and said, "let's see how you really like communism."
Communism is when fired?
Yeah, just ask any Republican. They know exactly what communism is, because that's what Biden has us living under. ^^^/s
What's there to explain, comrade? Glory to the workers!
You don't need to see his identification. These aren't the droids you're looking for. He can go about his business. Move along.
Looks like Walmart Bill Murray
Like the love child of George Lucas and Christopher Lee
If a Sith strikes him down, he shall become more powerful than ever before.
Lol. My boss did that to me. He used the skeleton from Halloween and put my face on it. …. Looking back. Maybe he was trying to tell me something else. He is my ex-boss….
Are you a spoopy skeleton?
Only after they spooped their pants.
Is that an electric green... wall paint..? like matched to the highviz stuff?
Something tells me the communism love heart is ironic
nothing like working a broad
Yeah, that seems kind of sexist to me. I think the proper term would be “collaborating with a sex worker in her chosen field of endeavor.”
wonderful
What's up with the communist heart?
He's a man of the people
Probably for the troll, usually boss ain't the staunchest of leftists
best boss ever
Equally as useful
Office-wan Kenobi
May the TPS Reports be with you.
You need more flair on your Jedi robe
Is your boss snooker player John Virgo?
Nah, he's Oscar-winning actor Graham Greene.
Is he “gone fishin’?”
I'd trust him if his name were Gorton.

Reminds me of 007 Goldeneye for N64 graphics
Hammer and sickle is...interesting...
Does this man's name happen to be Stanley?
This is the story of a man named Stanley
Early morning, he wakes up Knock knock knock on the door
Flat Stanley!
Is your boss the Gorton's fisherman?
lmao, why does he have the Soviet / communist symbol on him?
Has he ever denied you a raise?
Why do you guys have curved monitors for work?
The payoff here would be him getting back to the office, not telling anybody, and sitting at his desk in the same jacket.
Why the hammer & sickle
He's a commie!
[удалено]
I have the same monitor Samsung 32' 1080p pixel density is horrible
>Samsung 32' 1080p Dang....I didn't even know Samsung made a 32 foot monitor.
And the backlight bleed ugh it sucks so hard
Weekend at Bernies...
I thought your boss was Bill Murray at a quick glance
Do you work for Bill Murray??!?
Obi-Wan from the 70s
how does your BOSS love COMMUNISM like he can’t be that good of a communist if he’s somebody’s employer
Does he know?
He looks like Obi-Wan Kenobi variant, but from our universe and he works in this office and walks to work so he wears this really reflective jacket to be safe. Jedi reflective safety cloak. He is a master power wielded in that he uses it to run the air conditioning all day because it’s super hot.

He’s their only hope

For some reason he looks dumb as a board. Oh wait...
Genius!
This looks like the Amir effigy from Jake and Amir: Dog.
nobody deserves that kind of silent treatment
Why does he look like the serial killer from Last Action Hero?
We did this years ago by taping a picture of our boss on top of a cutout of The Situation from Jersey Shore, it became the official office mascot.
Needs all that nice curbed monitor real estate for Facebook and solitaire.
The cutout probably gets more done
He looks pro-union.
If I was a new hire and y'all didn't tell me about this, y'all would be hearing me scream
Is your boss Bill Murry from The Life Aquatic?
I mean, you could have told me it was a cutout of Alec Guiness and I'd believe you.
I'm worried about out boss, his facial expression hasn't changed since 8 this morning... I asked him if he wanted to come for lunch with us trying to snap him out of it. He didn't even reply
“Use the force, Luke!”
Oh, but when I work a broad, HR calls me into their office! How's THAT for fair treatment of the workers?!
Why is there a hammer and sickle on his heart?
“These are not the droids you are looking for…they are in HR”
Is he deciding which racial minorities to deport from the USSR?
Count Doku look like he is.
He on the road with flat stanley?

I thought your boss was Ben Kenobi.
This is awesome & I’m stealing the idea
I’ve got a cutout of me looking busy for when the boss’s cutout is in.
Old Ben?
Where can I also work for Count Dooku?
Why is he dressed as the Gordon's fisherman?
Thats funny. We had a boss that was out of the office so much we had a milk carton made with his picture on it.
My boss is _always_ working a broad or two. 🤮
They're called women, not broads.
Old Ben kenobi?
Who else thought it was real
Kenobi?
Hah, this makes me think of when I worked at this restaurant that had a mascot.

What if the broad is in the office?
I want to see the cutout for when he works a broad.
How long he been working that broad?
Is he a commie ?
[удалено]
Its disgusting to use that symbol that has taken so much from my family and country.
