I printed a copy of this and have it permanently taped beside my computer for all to see.

This one is actually fucking great.

Start a cat poo collection

 

[wenis]

I don’t decorate my desk. I find it distracting. I also don’t need it to feel homey or comfortable. It’s work, I don’t want to be there any longer than I need to so a barren work space minus equipment is the ideal environment to get work done and get out.

 

[Archpath1]

Anyone post that Portlandia skit?

I can see this, but for me, if I'm going to be here 8 hours a day I want to feel comfortable. I have photos of my family, some random gaming trinkets, some Iowa State gear, etc.

 

[malingenie]

That cat is long dead by now

Hell, the photographer could be long dead by now.

 

[Murkas]

Hang pictures of your partner, friends, family, kids and photos of you doing activities/in locations where you look happy.

 

[JBourne]

Ironically leave a MAGA hat on your desk.

We had an attorney here do that. A few people didn't know her well enough to know she was joking, and it turned some against her.


Just get 15 Funko Pops from 90's TV shows.

I agree, my desks have always been empty. Same deal with my desktop wallpaper, I keep it simple. Mine is this:

Mars and its moons. Funnily enough, 15 minutes ago a coworker saw it and jokingly asked if I worked at NASA. Told him I picked it because I didn't feel like using any of the wallpapers I have on my own PC, as I don't want to think about work when at home.

 

[Northeastmonk]

The small posters are convenient. I put this together a few months back:

 

[Daffy Duck]

No pictures of the desk?

 

[ZealousD]

I work with a bunch of middle aged women and for some reason they all loved it whenever I drew Philosoraptor on my little whiteboard.

 

[Violet_0]

Oh, totally, get a cutesy baby-like statue of a naked corpse wrapped in plastic. That's not weird at all.

the body of Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks, who's at the center of the mystery of season 1. The only worthwhile thing to ever come out of funko pop

 

[Replicant]

I got some Funko pops and Kidrobot figurines on rotation depending on the time (ie. all horror characters during Halloween), about 10 in total.

My coworkers either have figurines, some weird toys (ie. pig toy that makes oink sound), picture of their family, pot plant, lego stuff, etc

 

[MudoSkills]

I've personalised my desk with stationary and detritus - it really lets people know who I am on the inside.

 

[Moose Biscuits]

What you do is

You wait until the people who commented on your bland desk aren't in, then check their desks for family photos

Take those photos and scan them, then you edit them in Photoshop and paste your face over the faces of the people in the photos

Then you print and frame them, put them on your desk and return the original photos to your coworkers' desks

Say nothing about them

 

[toneroni]

No pictures of the desk?

word.

I decorate my desk at home but usually not much at work other than some small kid robot type stuff.

 

[JoJo UK]

I downloaded an image of a Kerbal astronaught painted in the style of the Mona Lisa, framed it and gave it to my bro, he has that on his desk.

 

[fredrancour]

Frame a photo of your empty desk

 

[Crispy75]

Get a nice photo frame.
Put photos of different children in it every day.
See if they notice

 

[Finalow]

Put these up.
-
Then when someone says "that's creepy", go "I see cute figures".

did you just link a 3 years old post to "subtly" flame a banned member while also trying to establish that anime figures are indeed creepy?
OP should put a screenshot of your post at his desk area so when he goes to work he can start the day with a laugh.

 

[Slacker]

Get yourself a mini super sonico secretary.

And whenever you get up to go to the bathroom ask her to hold your calls.

Real answer, get a couple Amiibo.

 

[Nealand Liquor]

First thing I thought

 

[Akuun]

I don't have any personalized stuff on my desk at all, but no one's ever commented on it.

 

[rpmurphy]

Print out and frame stock pictures.

 

[ReplacementPelican]

I work in the cosmetics industry and am constantly told my desk isn’t clear enough.

Real culture of clean, tidy desks with occasional product.

Burberry’s offices in London are like that, scarily uniform and empty.

 

[gaiages]

Right now I just have a couple small trinkets for my office. Yarn Yoshi amiibo and a bean dog keychain plush... T-rex salt and pepper shakers (we don't have a communal one)... a tiny plate for candies... that's about it!

I'm not much of a decorator but...

I printed a copy of this and have it permanently taped beside my computer for all to see.

OMG I need this in my office

Though someone might take it personally >:3~

 

[Saganator]

Print out and frame stock pictures.

Print and frame stock photos from Dark Stock Photos twitter feed.

 

[Spikematic]

OMG I need this in my office

Though someone might take it personally >:3~

That makes it even more awesome though, no? I'm totally printing that out for my own office as well.

 

[Subpar Scrub]

I wish I had a desk at work

One day...

 

[gaiages]

That makes it even more awesome though, no? I'm totally printing that out for my own office as well.

Yes, it WILL made it even better.

It'll be glorious >:3

 

[Subpar Scrub]

Put up stock photos of random families, but start crossing out 1 or 2 members of each family with a red sharpie every 2-3 weeks. Make sure to use pins and string to link them to other random family pictures. Write "WHY" over and over again on the ones that are crossed out. People will think it's a mystery!

Put these up.

The fuck

What's with this random 3 year old callout on a banned poster??? Why do you even have this link handy.....

there are layers of "creepy" in this post actually

 

[Luschient]

Buy a few of these and have a mini-version of your office on your desk.

 

[Always-honest]

Fill it with those questionable anime schoolgirl images and wear a furry suit.

 

[NintendosBooger]

Do what I do and litter your desk with random sheets of paper to look like you're busy and overworked.

 

[d9b]

Buy a few of these and have a mini-version of your office on your desk.

Office inside the office inside the office.
We have to go deeper...

 

[Brazil]

The only thing I have on my desk is an Angry Bird plushie. I don't like feeling too comfortable at work.

 

[Nuts2U]

Amiibo are your friends. Especially the animal crossing ones, I got a ton of them for like $0.99 each, co-workers often comment that they really like them.

 

[mafe]

Wasn't this a Portlandia skit?

 

[Moose Biscuits]

I cut out my favourite strips from the page a day Dilbert calendar I got in an office Christmas thing a while back and I stuck them on various surfaces.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Get a nice photo frame.
Put photos of different children in it every day.
See if they notice

"Jeff, start the van. We got work to do"

 

[family_guy]

I keep my desk clean so it's less humiliating if I get fired. You wouldn't even know I worked there other than the name tag on my cubicle.

 

[moltonasty]

Why give a fuck what your co workers think tho?

My work desk is completely empty except for work related things...don't see the point of decorating your work space personally, I'd rather put that effort into decorating my home.

 

[bosseye]

On my desk I have:

Photos of my family
Plush Mr Bump
Resident Evil zombie and zombie dog
A sock monkey
Sackboy
Metal owl
Shells and stones my kids collected from the beach for me
Fake Cornish pasty
Various dull work files

Home away from home.

Woah at least you have a name tag

 

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

i need some funny meme pictures to post on my wall

any suggestions?

bad jokes aside, my desk is a fucking mess with papers/docs all over the place

 

[darscot]

I keep nothing on my desk and there is a limit to my tolerance to people that cover their desk in nick-nacks. I have no idea how it became normal to decorate your workspace like your Grandmas house. I do not want to have to be all worried I am going to knock something over if I have to sit at your desk for a minute.

Another pet peeve of mine is the ambidextrous artist desk that has 15 input devices for his PC and his Mac. Can you just point me to the mouse and keyboard that controls your fucking PC.

 

[King Al B]

I wish i could decorate my desk.. the pile of stuff i have to do takes up the majority of the space. And i got forms and notes and crap all over my walls. Im a freakin unorganized disaster. When people make comments i tell them my secretary has been on long term sick leave.
