Office etiquette can be difficult to pick up on, as it's often an unspoken set of rules. When and how much to small-talk with your coworkers, when and how long to take your lunch, when to leave at the end of the day-- these are all nuances that take a minute to pick up on. They may seem like givens, but when you're trying to blend in with a new office environment, these are the decisions that occupy your mind. And with the proliferation of hybrid and remote work, some of us are a little rusty on office manners.

That's not quite the case with the subject of a recent viral tweet- who was surreptitiously caught offending some basic rules of etiquette. We all do gross things when nobody's looking (or when we think nobody's looking), but usually (hopefully) not in ways that affect anyone else. Check out the stomach-turning manners breach below.
