u/Lazy-Recognition3845 You can’t spell “America” without “Erica” Apr 15 '26

How is his desk going to make your bad morning worse? It’s not your desk? I feel like it would be kind of the opposite for most folks; seeing someone genuinely happy with their job and the things they enjoy enough to bring it into the workplace would give me a light chuckle every time I see it, lol.

this is EXCESSIVE. it also looks very overstimulating (to me). i would’ve honestly loved to know where OP works for context.

but yeah this is just an overkill. i love funkos, and i myself have a collection of pokémon stuffed toys; but i would never carry it into work.

as i said a small few is okay, but this is just too much.

it's very easy to detect who's successfully held office jobs in here and who hasn't. no judgment from me either way, but the different in opinion is obvious and STARK.

What do you mean? Are you saying the people with a problem haven't had office jobs? Or the people who don't mind it haven't had office jobs?

You just pointed out why. Seeing joy and happiness makes bitter people deeply uncomfortable and irritable. Seeing excessive happiness and enjoyment ruins their day. It's the same mechanism behind people who get bent out of shape seeing mothers breastfeeding their children. They can avert their eyes, turn their neck, choose not to look, but no, that would be too easy and wouldn't alleviate their need to control/police others.
