The Office Stash: Camouflaged Beer and Alcohol Storage



Here’s an ingenious way to camouflage your beer fridge at work to hide the stash from co-workers! Link, via Zedomax and Make - Thanks Tonya Howell!

Or how about hiding in plain sight? (Featured before on Neatorama a while ago, but the link had gone bad) so here it is again, courtesy of Tonya, who got it in an email (erhm, are you sure it’s not your office we’re looking at, Tonya?):

In the event of an office emergency, consult the red binder:

    Friggin’ alcoholics. What? You can’t go EIGHT hours without a drink? Hope you get caught. And fired.

    Greg, if I were your alcoholic father I’d slap you for being a douche.

    Greg, if I worked with someone as humorless as you I’d need a drink every eight MINUTES

    Halp! It’s The Hair Bear Bunch!

    Fortunately, I work in an office that’s pretty laid back. I don’t drink on the job (it just seems like a good way to wind up mouthing off to a VP) but last week, after stopping at the package store on my lunch break, I had a fifth of Scotch sitting on my desk and nobody got bent.

    yeah greg - if you’re such a great damn worker, then don’t consult the friggin red binder. Go to the employee handbook with the rest of the douchebags.

    Yeah, I don’t drink alcohol, but I think this is a funny article. I don’t think is an alcoholic thing… just a funny thing.

    Wow, you boozer’s get a bit touchy when people mention your bottle.

    I have to admit I found it mildly humorous, then kinda sad.

    The reaction to Greg’s comment did seem a little vicious.

    Maybe that’s why the afternoon commute is so crazy - all the drunk drivers coming home.

    man! and to think all these years I had been hiding my work drinks in my stomach and unexpected slurry outbursts I blamed on a rare hereditary disease. Co-workers thought they liked me for my excentric behaviors which added variety to their boring ass jobs, but it truth I was secretly smashed!.

    hey greg,

    just some honest to goodness, no BS, hope-this-will-improve-your-life, take it or leave it, it’s my two cents advice: lighten up

    We just kept a beer keg right in the test lab when I worked at Citrix. You did have to hide it, just chip in.

    great idea, putting it in practice tomorrow, any suggestions what to call the folder- emergency procedures?, perhaps- staff development?

    For what it’s worth, all of you need to “lighten up”. I certainly hope this is a real joke and not something actually put to use. As a person who rarely drinks alcohol, it is humerous, but obviously sad that most of you all think it is really CooL. I agree with Greg — get a work life, not an alcoholic life.

    I second greg. To his defense, since when has drinking become a requirement to being relaxed and cheerful? You guys are so blind with your beer bottles that you have no idea how others enjoy their life without it. And that bothers you? So go ahead force down your shots so you can gain enough courage or should I say, lose enough sense of mind to be relaxed.

    These people are hiding it at work. Just think of all the bottles and cans they’re hiding at home.
