​​​12 Things That Honestly Suck About Hanging With Co-Workers

Can we all stop the charade? Havin' fun with work buddies sucks.

1. Be real. You don't hate them, but you don't love them.

Work friends are basically unstoppable mutant versions of those friends you make in the first week of freshman year of college. There are other people in your life whom you like a LOT MORE, but they're there.

2. Small talk is more painful than a year-end review.

Only, with small talk, there is legit NO BONUS.

3. The number of babies you don't care about on your newsfeed will double.

BABIES ARE AWESOME — NO, THEY ARE. But you can barely stand the flood of baby pictures from your real friends. Now this? No. No!

4. And Happy Hour is a literal land mine.

If you think you have anything else in common, you are lying to yourself. STOP LYING.

That's the cold, hard truth. Let it set in. And then suck it up and go to those goodbye drinks and put on a convincing frown and CARRY ON.

8. And birthday parties in far-away neighborhoods hurt the soul.

"Let me get this for us."

"All nine of us? How can you afford that?"

*silence*

Things will be said. Things that you'd never want to hear from anyone on earth, let alone one you have to look at every day within an office environment. You will be scared. You will be scarred. You will have to say, "LOL, no I totally get it!"

12. When it's all over, you will have to hug.

Nobody will want to. But you will have to. It's just a rule. A cursed, cursed rule.

The ultimate ugh? When your co-worker friends you on Facebook.
