Reddit has hosted its share of random topics, but gross workplace situations appear to be a new popular conversation on the platform.

Earlier this week, a forum was posted with a question reading, "Grossest thing you’ve witnessed in the office?"

The original poster had the displeasure of seeing someone clip their toenails in a pod, while the next response was even more intense. "Had someone smear poop several times throughout the toilet stalls."

After months of trying to find the culprit, the employee was caught, which the user recounted. "Couldn't imagine what that conversation was like. This was in a full corporate setting btw," they wrote.

The forum continued with more disgusting occurrences involving not washing hands after using the restroom and someone even eating their picked-off psoriasis scabs.

Another user even recounted a manager at their workplacegetting comfortable enough to make out "up against the wall" with a daughter of the company owner, who happens to be the user’s daughter. As if the behavior wasn't inappropriate enough, the woman was bold enough to rip down the observing employee's "no kissing" sign.

Some observations weren't even made in the office, but rather Zoom, like one person who noticed their co-worker yank out a "rotten tooth." "He now has three missing teeth in total and won’t stop playing with more wobbly ones," the person wrote.

Once The Office reboot arrives, they definitely have some material to pull from.
