I own a red Swingline stapler. Got it for my retirement. It is a really good stapler.

Me too. I got it because of Office Space, although I never watched it...

Years ago, I got to know Ajay Naidu through inviting him onto my own outdoor TV series as a guest. He’s a great guy and deeply serious actor who was also best friends with the late Phillip Seymour Hoffman, of whom he has many great stories. I teased him about “Allah” in a text once, and he sternly reminded me “Billy, I’m a Buddhist.”

I bought Hubby a red Swingline back when the movie came out. Also an Initech shirt.

I actually did Y2K work on various software applications

Some of it we started preparing for in the 1980s.

One of the funniest films ever, in my opinion. “I asked for no salt NO SALT...”

Should be required viewing for kids in high school so they know to avoid the corporate cubical soul sucking hell.

Yep. I don’t think you can fully appreciate the movie unless you’ve spent any time as a cube rat.

I worked for a tech company in the early 2000’s. While I didn’t have to complete them, customer service team did have TPS reports, and the company did things like Hawaiian Shirt Friday and Wear Your Pajama’s to Work Day. We were all constantly quoting Office Space.

Stupid use of words “unlikely cult hit” in the title!

This great funfest was destined to be a cultist delight before it was ever viewed by the public...
