Today, at my job of 2 months, I'd taken it upon myself to water the plants around the office every day since they all looked a little sad. My boss then asked why so many of the fake plants were getting mouldy. My co-workers had watched me water plastic plants for 2 months and nobody bothered to tell me. FML

That's amazing. I mean you couldn't touch the stems or leaves since day one?

I wonder which one of your coworkers won that bet. "Hey, how long d'you think the new girl will keep watering those plants till she realizes they're fake?" "$50 it takes her two weeks." :two months later: "Hasn't she noticed that horrible smell? ... Should we tell her?" *all coworkers are blown away by OPs obliviousness*

Your life sucks, and not because your colleagues didn't tell you.

My grandma actually did this same thing with a poinsettia plant!

This sounds like something Erin would do from the Office.

I guess it's hard for you to tell the difference between organic and plastic.

How in the world were you not be able to find this out on your own? This is totally a YDI.

Today I found out my new coworker wasn't just pranking us all by pretending to water the obviously plastic plants boss made me throw them all out and they reeked of mold fml.

If the plants are plastic why would watering them make them moldy?
