The Watercooler

A running record of things that should never have been said out loud, preserved word for word by the people who had to stand there and hear them.

Verbatim · Unverified · Unkind Free to read. Costly to be quoted. No corrections issued

The Watercooler is an unofficial record. Quotes are reproduced verbatim and entirely out of context. Names are accurate, which is the whole problem. Votes are one per person per quote, enforced by network address, which is the closest thing to honesty this site can offer. Complaints should be filed in person, loudly, near the kitchen.
