What's Your Office Personality Type?

Waiting for your coworker to finish the story, then gently reminding her about the report you need her to finish.

Smiling and laughing when you think your coworker wants you to smile and laugh. You don't really care, but you don't want to seem rude.

Telling your coworker how you heard that your boss was also at the party, and that you heard that he had one too many margaritas (if you know what I mean).

Telling your coworker that you were also at the party, and observe how strange it is that you didn't see each other there.

You've checked Facebook, called your friend about her relationship troubles, had your morning coffee in the lunch room, started typing up the minutes from yesterday's meeting, and checked in with your friend Carol to make sure her dog is feeling better.

You've gotten out of bed, stopped at a fast food restaurant drive-through, turned your computer on, and pretended to work for about an hour while waiting for your coffee to kick in.

You've eaten a hearty breakfast, run 5k, dropped your kids off at school, proofread a 60-page report, and had a meeting with a client.

You've arrived at work and completed a reasonable number of tasks. No one knows what you did before you got here, because they don't need to know.

Inform your boss that you're already on your way, then show up three minutes later in your best office attire, briefcase in hand.

Agree to come in, but only because you're certain you'll be fired if you don't.

Tell your boss that you can't make it in, but you'll call your coworker and see if she can come help.

Apologize, but tell your boss that you can't come in because you already have plans with friends from work.

Tell your boss that you would come in, but you're elbow-deep in an abstract oil painting and you don't want to lose your inspiration.

Agree to take on the project, but tell him that you may take it in a different direction. You have a really good idea, and you know it will be worth the extra work.

Tell him you'll get it finished as soon as you can. After all, he wouldn't have asked if he didn't really need your help—right?

Tell him not to worry: you had some extra time last night, and you've already finished the project he's stressing out about.

Ask him why he's always asking *you* for help. Do you have a target on your back or something?

Tell him you'll take care of it, then pass it off to someone else. Hey, you're busy, and you have to be out of the office by five.

Work out the details to determine what you can actually do to help, then do it.

You ride your bike to work, so you couldn't care less. In fact, you've never driven a car in your life.

Parking spot? As if you would park in the same spot every day! You always park somewhere new so that your boss doesn't know what kind of car you drive.

Seeing as you consistently get to work before everyone else, you can't conceivably believe that this situation could ever actually happen to you.

Call one of your coworkers from the parking lot with the make, model, color, and license plate number of the car in your spot, then have her ask around the office to see who it belongs to.

Park in a different spot, take a few deep breaths, and let it go.

A brightly patterned shirt or dress that accentuates your body.

Maroon-colored tights, a striped skirt, a long-sleeve shirt, a vest, a gigantic patterned scarf, and your chunky-framed glasses.

A power suit, of course.

Grey slacks and a white button-up top with the sleeves rolled up three quarters of the way.

The same outfit your boss wore yesterday. They can't complain about your attire if you dress like them, right?

That outfit your coworker complimented you on last week.

An outfit your friend threw together for you while she was over last night.

You leave the office, determined never to return. Clearly they are all trying to kill you.

You hold your breath and bring your own lunch into the bathroom so that you can eat without fear of dying.

You make a point of telling everyone about that one time you went into anaphylactic shock at a tennis tournament.

You work through your own lunch and risk the allergic reaction. You're not going to let a little allergy get in the way of meeting a deadline.

You ready your EpiPen, just in case, and get back to work. No fuss, no muss.

You don't believe in allergies.

You shoot off a quick email to HR to ask them to please talk to your coworker about bringing peanut products to work.

You ask a lot of questions to make sure nothing fishy is going on. You don't want your office supporting any fraudulent organizations.

You bring 15 friends to help volunteer. Some of them bring banjos and Polaroid cameras.

You take lots of pictures to post online so that you can show everyone what a great office you work at.

You show up to all volunteering events on time, then leave as soon as they are finished.

Volunteering was your idea. You pitched an idea and made the plans; now you're making sure they are carried out.

Write a polite email to your HR rep, then bite your nails for two hours before deciding to send it tomorrow instead. Tomorrow. You'll definitely send it tomorrow.

Start looking for new jobs. There's no point trying to talk to your boss about it; she won't believe you.

Go grab a couple dairy-free mocha lattes and have a nice sit-down with your boss. You've been meaning to catch up with her anyway.

Write a post-it note to remind yourself to ask your coworker to look into the discrepancy.

You have so many other projects on the go that you don't even concern yourself with this petty move. You'll earn your praise another way, probably before lunch today.

You send that coworker a politely worded email with a list of tasks. If he thinks he's so special, he should be able to get these done without an issue.

Just forget about it. You don't want to cause any drama.

Don't say anything to your boss, but make sure to tell your friends about your coworker's failure to speak up. You don't want them to be stabbed in the back like you were—you have to warn them.
