Slacker coworker lightheartedly jokes about never completing job duties, employee seriously agrees and coworker explodes: ‘"You have issues!"’

You probably have that one coworker—you know the one—who you wonder hasn't been fired yet. They don't seem to do anything but utilize their 9-5 for manicures, catching up with friends, and cooking a three-course meal in the office break room. Even still, you find yourself a bit envious. Their ability to go completely undetected by higher-ups is likely a virtuous gift given to them by the slacker gods themselves. In a certain way, they're artists. However, you are not, which means you're doing all of the work they fail to complete. This is when your admiration turns to envy, then to complete anger. It's time that someone calls them out.

In this next story, a slacker coworker seems too self-aware. She knows she doesn't do anything, but has the nerve to complain when other colleagues give her a taste of her own medicine. After a long time of dealing with her, the employee who posted this story seriously agreed with the joke she made on her behalf. The argument that ensues is deflection at its finest. Scroll to read.
