One of the most bizarre unspoken rules in my workplace is that no one is allowed to eat bananas at their desks. It’s not officially stated anywhere, but there’s a strange collective agreement to keep them in the kitchen. I think it started when someone once brought in a particularly ripe one, and the smell permeated the entire office. Now, it’s become a bit of a running joke—people will suggest eating them outside or simply avoid them altogether. It’s odd how such a small thing has turned into a quirky office norm! What about you? Any strange rules in your workplace?
