When You Clock Out Mentally: 34 Times People Said "Not My Job"

You know that feeling when you hit the limit of your shift, your patience, and your general willingness to exist? Yeah, that's the energy captured perfectly in this collection. These 34 examples of "not my job" moments are pure art — people who technically did their job, but also very clearly did not care at all.

We're talking about signs put up sideways, benches installed into walls, painted lines that boldly ignore all obstacles, and safety railings that... well, aren't safe at all. Sometimes you just have to admire the level of "good enough" on display. It's like the workers collectively said, "You wanted it done? It's done. You never said it had to make sense."

So whether you're procrastinating, on your lunch break, or emotionally clocked out yourself, scroll through and enjoy these hilarious tributes to doing the absolute bare minimum. Because sometimes, surviving the day is the job.
