    You joke, but based on their comments and weirdly intense energy about this absurd situation, I can only assume they’ve literally been in this situation before as one of the coworkers.

      I appreciate where you’re coming from, thanks. Though I will say that “weirdly intense energy” isn’t rare on social media and could even suffice as a summary of a good number of interactions. Sometimes people just get worked up over things and I don’t blame them, I’m sure we could dig up a bunch of studies on social media and “rage engagement” as a design principle.
