Last weekend, our office planned a camping trip to bond outside the cubicles. Everyone was excited—even Carol from accounting, who claimed she was an "outdoor expert." When we arrived, she insisted on taking charge of setting up the tents. Instead of following the instructions, she said, “You just pretend you’re swatting bugs and the tent magically unfolds.” Naturally, the tent ended up in a tangled mess, looking more like a giant spider web than a shelter. Just then, Tim from IT started asking if the “swatting bugs” was literal, since he spotted a swarm of mosquitoes diving toward us. Carol, caught off guard, shouted, “No, that’s the tent swatter, not the bug swatter!” And that’s when Kevin, our team leader, stepped in holding a fly swatter, asking why we had a “tent pest controller” on the trip.
Turns out, the only bugs getting swatted were our chances of a peaceful night’s sleep!
