'He didn't know what "coffee with milk" meant': Inexperienced intern bungles office culture at his first workplace

Like many interns, this guy is convinced he has a lot of offer the workforce, but he just hasn't quite figured out how to navigate an office. 

Being an intern is one of the strangest experiences in the working world. You're often a student, still learning every day, and accustomed to the teacher-student dynamics. Then, you're thrust into the work world, and it's every person for themselves. The expectations for every intern are different, and they won't know what they'll have to do until they show up on the first day. Some internships just have the kids do coffee runs and simple tasks, treating them like they're barely there. Others give the interns so much responsibility that they freak out and have a stressful time with it. 

Ideally, the intern learns a lot and grows as a person. On X, formerly known as Twitter, @k_alex_h shared their tale of their favorite intern interaction. This guy, James, is an unhinged guy who seems to spend his time running his mouth and misunderstanding tasks. So, typical intern. Commenters loved the story too, though some advised they never should've hired that dude in the first place. Live and learn! 

Up next, this homeowner's association was so gung-ho about applying the rules to every house in the neighborhood that they started bothering a homeowner who wasn't even in their HOA!
