Ever since that thing happened in 2020, and a lot of us started working from, we have had to face all kinds of pet-related challenges. Our dogs love it when we work from home. Having their humans around them twenty-found-seven is like a dream come true for them. Our cats disdain it when we work from home, and they are more than happy to show it to us by sticking their booties in our boss's faces every time we get on a Zoom call. And we have to deal with all of that, and that is not easy. It is not. 

Still, a lot of us are introverts who are happy to work from home and enjoy our comforting animal memes from the comfort of said home. We do. Most of the time. If something like this happened in our office, we would get our introverted booties up and go face the hilarious chaos.

    Furgh nash flynn @itsnashflynn i just got an email from our hr department informing us that, "regrettably", our office has become “inundated” with raccoons and as of this morning, after an incident where one raccoon fell thru the ceiling, they've decided to let us work from home 10:30 PM Sep 16, 2024 2M Views 666 15.6K 102K ☐ 2.3K

    If there is one single thing in this whole world that could possibly make us want to leave our house (along with our cats and dogs) to go to the office, it's this. It is an army of raccoons invading it. We would need to be there that day.

    And we don't care about the dangers of it. We don't care about the risks. We would absolutely need to see those adorable little guys running around our office, causing chaos. It would be the most magnificent experience in the world.

    BStibs @StibsVfl I went into my office one random day and noticed someone had nearly unwrapped and eaten all the candy I had for kiddo visitors. About a minute later I realized raccoons had taken over my entire space! What a crazy situation that turned into. Trash pandas are WILD! • 6:19 AM Sep 17, 2024 14.9K Views

    GamecockLurks @SwattyKay ... My office was once inundated with mice & squirrels (due to construction) but this way before any of us ever worked remotely. We just had to deal, & by that I mean learning not to leave a sandwich unattended on our desks, not even for a second. . 7:47 PM - Sep 17, 2024 1,705 Views
