Fasten your seatbelts and prepare to read one of the most incredible workplace stories ever written on Twitter. This person, who goes by @tombrodude, shared a tale for the ages of a "prank" he and his coworkers used to pull on each other. Basically, they waged war against microwave meals. But unless you're reheating, like, tuna casserole, why would you have such disdain for microwaved food? Clearly, this man waged a full-scale attack on his coworkers…and you'll have to read the rest for yourself to find out what the internet is cracking up about. 

Then, click over here, where we've assembled a list of the most chronically online Twitter users of the year.
