[He] was the stereotypical lazy manager': Employee teaches messy boss a lesson by leaving fake contamination note in the breakroom, scares boss into becoming a neat freak

The breakroom is a strange little parallel universe, isn't it? It's the one place in the office where corporate personas start to crack, and you get a glimpse of who your coworkers really are. It's where you discover the meal-prep guy with their perfectly portioned quinoa bowls, the microwave offender can't microwave soup without a mini explosion, and, of course, the fridge hoarder whose Tupperware is older than the interns. While most of us do our best to keep the space bearable, there's always that one person who treats it like their personal trash bin.

For one employee, the culprit wasn't just anyone—it was their boss. You'd think being in charge would come with a little self-awareness, but nope. The manager in question left coffee sludge, crumbs, and dirty dishes for everyone else to deal with. After months of failed hints and unacknowledged complaints, this fed-up employee took matters into their own hands. What started with a hilariously brilliant (and petty) plan, turned the office slob into an accidental neat freak. Let's just say the power of suggestion can work wonders when it targets someone's deepest fears.
