Or "why's that?"

Did someone burn toast? It's giving me a headache.

[–] TypFaffke@feddit.org 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This one isn't as threatening to the coworkers though

[–] yermaw@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It totally is. Seeing someone you know have a stroke and also being responsible to do something about it is pretty harsh

[–] jim_v@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Being responsible for the smell of burnt toast in the break room is no walk in the park, either.

"Do you smell smoke?"

[–] madjo@piefed.social 38 points 1 week ago

"what's that sound?"

"What's that smell?"

Audibly farts

[–] Nima@leminal.space 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

omg I had a coworker that would do this. no joke.

"Do you smell popcorn?" "no?" blarrrp "How about now?" and then he'd grin like a 12 year old.

[–] zip@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was just about to say something similar. Fart silently, then ask if they smell popcorn/gasoline/whatever. They're not likely to sniff again after they've heard you fart. That defeats the purpose!

[–] Nima@leminal.space 6 points 1 week ago

see thats how I would do it too, but he was a madlad and he made certain it was audible.

he wanted you to know it was he who doomed you. and he'd immediately start giggling like a kid right after.

I'm making him out to be a maniac, but he was actually super fun to work with and he was fantastic. it was an honor to stock overnights with him.

"I miss insert coworker. This place just isn't the same after the accident."

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can you train for other's safety as well?

[–] notsure@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago

"Why do i smell swimming pool?"

[–] davidagain@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Uhhh, smells more like Flourine than Chlorine to me. Brad, you were here before us. What do you think?

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 17 points 1 week ago

"Do you guys smell popcorn?"

farts

[–] Zier@fedia.io 12 points 1 week ago

"I've been taking asbestos bubble baths, doesn't my skin look good?"

[–] JakoJakoJako13@piefed.social 11 points 1 week ago

My favorite was working in a television control room and asking, "is that supposed to be on screen?" The panic as the director looks back and forth at the 20 or so screens in front of them always made me giggle!!!

"you know, I'm forklift certified."

Says the bartender to the back of house.
