We were changing office buildings and were packing our desks for the move. They have us boxes and bags for everything. The bags were oddly large, which I commented on by saying “these bags could fit a small child”. Apparently some people took offense at that, as I was later sent up to HR to explain myself.
I like my workplace because I don’t get in trouble for stuff like that. I was once talked to - asked if I had been snarky. I explained that I was and why they deserved it. I was basically told that I was right but it doesn’t really help anything so try to avoid it in the future.
My wife and I have a young Belgian Malinois, and at about a year and a half of age she started flopping down onto the floor in a very loud and obnoxious manner whenever she was frustrated or in a fit of pique. Being very bony, she makes a loud thump.
It wasn’t long after she started this that my wife remarked,
“It sounds like a body hitting the trunk of a car.”
It was all I could do to turn to her and query just how many dead bodies she had to have transported in her car’s trunk to get that intimately familiar with the sound.

Edit: spelling
That’s the sign of really good HR, you’re totally right never do it again… :)
This was when you realized that everyone around you was an idiot and you found a new job, right?
I had actually already been looking for a few weeks by that point.

Bro, I think your wife has downvoted you
Or maybe somebody else that’s thrown a lot of dead bodies in a trunk 😂
tbh that’s a strange thing to remark…
Not enough for HR to step in.
Or a large one if you cut it into pieces.
That’s on you dude
