Today, after a sleepless night, I fell asleep at my work desk. When I awoke, I found my co-workers had duct taped me to my chair. I was yelling at them to untape me, when our boss came in, scolded me for fucking about on the job, and left without saying a word to my colleagues. FML

Well, I can see how this can be unfair. However, you shouldn't be falling asleep at work. Energy drink!

You're at a desk, just use scissors or a letter opener to get free from the tape. Then after work, meet your coworkers in the parking lot with duct tape and wheely chairs and push them out into traffic. >:)

I really dislike coworkers who do pranks like this. I'm ok with harmless and annoying/clever/funny pranks but what the coworkers did to OP was a little much. Not to mention that they just left the OP hanging to take the heat for something he or she didn't do

I'm sure I'm going to get thumbed down for this, but you're not getting paid to sleep on company time. Use some stimulants. There's a reason there's a coffee/tea pot in pretty much every office in the developed world. Coffee, energy drinks, caffeine pills, there's a way to get through until lunchtime, then a powernap and a light meal. Power your way through until you're off the clock and catch up on your own time.

No, I agree. If I were the boss, I would have scolded OP for sleeping on the job, and the coworkers for wasting even MORE time.

Caffeine pills on no sleep are a really bad idea. If you follow the directions you'll be fine, but most people I know who use them don't. Probably better to fall asleep at your desk (or better yet, stay home) than have an overdose at work.

I've been using caffeine pills for decades. The most common dosage I've seen in five provinces, nine states and Mexico was 100mg, though there are certainly extra strength versions available. . The average cup of coffee is about 130mg. So long as you check the dosage on the bottle, the rule of thumb is essentially four pills equals three 8oz cups of coffee. Or a little more than one venti. They're only really worse for you if you're washing them down with caffeinated beverages,

You're lucky your boss didn't just wheel you out the door and leave you on the sidewalk. Desk chairs are kind of expensive, though.

The expense could have been taken out of OP's severance pay.

The people you work with are trolls and your boss is an ignorant ****.

You should have taken an antihistamine or some NyQuil...or if your arms were not tapped down you can peel at the tape or grab a pair of scissors...

Somehow this post seems like one of the missing chapters of 50 Shades of Grey, and one of the only things that would have made said book interesting.

Reasons why you don't sleep at work. Pound a gallon of coffee and pass out on your living room floor when you get home.

That's why you should always carry a knife with you...

...so it can sit helplessly in your pocket while your arms are taped to a chair?
