Hi, SAIMA. It's an interesting topic. One day I came to my previous job, not to my new one. So by phone, I was proving to my new boss that I was at work.

[saimaansari]

Oh, that's too funny! I can only imagine the confusion on both ends.😁

[bf97c28c]

Yea, 🤗

That's is very funny

Real bizarre

I attached helium balloons to my office chair, turning mundane tasks into a high-flying adventure.

[bf97c28c]

Wow, like a dream flight. 😃

Saima,

Work with enough prospects and clients and the bizarre ideas are endless.

Especially prospects wanting free work.

[saimaansari]

Oh, I get you! It's like working in a funhouse, with clients coming up with all sorts of crazy ideas. And those wanting free work? It's like they think we're a charity! But hey, at least it keeps us entertained, right?  😁Let's just hope they don't start asking for free balloons with those requests!😀

Absolutely, let's add some flavor to this coffee break! 😄

One time, during a team meeting, we were discussing a particularly complex project, and someone suggested using carrier pigeons to deliver messages instead of emails to avoid any potential technical glitches. We all had a good laugh imagining our office rooftop filled with pigeons sporting tiny messenger bags!

Another time, I had this bizarre thought about having a "Bring Your Pet to Work Day" where everyone could bring their furry friends into the office. I imagined the chaos of trying to hold a serious meeting while dogs were chasing each other around and cats were napping on keyboards. It sounded hilarious yet utterly impractical!

What about you all? Any wacky work moments or outlandish ideas to share? Let's keep the laughter going! 😂

[saimaansari]

Haha, your stories are hilarious! Imagining carrier pigeons delivering messages and pets running around the office made me laugh. It's those silly ideas that make work more fun! One time at my office, we had a day where everyone wore mismatched socks just for fun. It was a blast!😀

[bf97c28c]

That's cool! During the animal mess, someone could have arrived on a pet horse.

That's quite a coincidence! Once during a training session on using a CRM, one trainee asked how could we send out invoices to the customers, and the trainer said email, fax, and... (and I said: by pigeon!, and the group broke out laughing...)

[e_huma-s_zill]

Oh, the life of a graphic designer! Ever had a client ask for a "pop of retro futurism with a touch of medieval vibes"?

[saimaansari]

Haha, I can relate! It's like they're ordering off a menu from a parallel universe! 🤣

Yesterday, I asked my friend to help me find my glasses. When she asked why, I said I needed them to find my glasses.

The funniest part was when she said she couldn't help because she had broken her own glasses a few hours earlier.

As a freelancer UX strategist and designer, I once received a hilarious email from a client. Instead of design files, they accidentally sent me their CEO's cat photos. Among the fluffy feline pictures were scattered notes on app features! Turns out, Saira had been contributing to the project by lounging on the CEO's keyboard. After a good laugh, we fixed the mix-up and joked about consulting Saira for creative input.

[bf97c28c]

It's a fun story 😀!

[zansari]

Indeed and we still discuss it lolz

[sundas_zahra]

Hahaha
