Hey!!! Are you tired of using the same old office humor cliches? Here are some not very good alternatives!

When someone asks you if you know where one of your co-workers is:

OLD: “Hey! It’s not my turn to watch him! Ha! Ha!”

NEW: “I don’t know. He’s not at his desk? Oh. Yeah. I don’t know.”

When someone says something like “My phone didn’t charge right” or really anything else at all:

OLD: “Sounds like a personal problem! Ha! Ha!”

NEW: silence

You say something even mildly “critical.” Like, “Seriously, marketing needs to stop forgetting to copy me on those emails”:

OLD: (sarcastic) “Oh, did I say that out loud?”

NEW: (not sarcastic) “Oh, did I say that out loud?”
