'I’d explain it to you, but I left my crayons at home’: 20+ Times waiters and chefs saved their funniest jabs for their coworkers

A bunch of waiters and chefs revealed the funniest things they've ever heard in the workplace.

While working in a restaurant's back of house, or BOH, employees quickly gain a playful rapport with each other. There's nothing that builds camaraderie like being in the trenches together. When there are dozens of orders piling up and you're short-staffed, a bit of humor can help lighten the mood. Not to mention that the chefs and prep staff are hidden away from customers, so they have more leeway to use spicy language and yell to each other.

You can check out this great thread from r/Serverlife, the subreddit dedicated to those in the food service profession. Commenters from all roles of an eatery chimed in, and we've compiled some of the funniest stories below. It just goes to show that working with fun people can make an eight-hour shift fly by in an instant. And alternately, some people shared how they got back at the annoying staffers who made an 8-hour shift feel like 8 days.

After that, this person has only been in their new building for two weeks. But that hasn't stopped their neighbor from getting so frustrated by the frequent noise that they penned a note.
