Gary’s cubicle was a shrine to TikTok trends. He’d memorized every dance from “Renegade” to “Savage,” but his real passion was the “Office Tango”—a viral challenge where coworkers twirled around desks to 80s rock. Gary practiced in front of his desk mirror, muttering, “This time, I’ll be the star.”
At noon, he slinked into the break room, where Janice from Accounting sipped lukewarm coffee. “Ready to dance?” Gary whispered. Janice raised an eyebrow. “You’re gonna make me look bad,” she said, but her phone was already recording.
The office erupted. Marketing’s Karen did the “Distracted Boyfriend” move while typing. IT guy Dave attempted the “Renegade” but got stuck in a chair. Gary, though? He executed the Tango with tragic precision—arms flailing, feet stomping, until he collided with a stack of printer paper. It cascaded like a white waterfall.
The video went viral. Comments flooded in: “This is why we can’t have nice things,” “Gary’s the real MVP,” and “Who’s hiring?” Gary’s boss, Mr. Thompson, summoned him. “You’ve brought shame to this company,” he barked. Gary nodded, then whispered, “But sir… the views.”
Now, every Monday, the office dances. Janice’s phone records everything. Gary’s still chasing fame—but at least the paper jams have improved.
