Just pop the biscuit in the top shelf.
FORGET EVERYTHING you thought you knew about office etiquette. A DANGEROUS new trend is spreading like wildfire through the corporate world, and it’s turning innocent employees into monsters of pure, unadulterated SAVAGERY. We’re talking about the so-called “Top Shelf Technique”—the single most aggressive, power-play move you can make in a shared kitchen.
This isn’t about cookies. This is about DOMINANCE. By deliberately placing a communal treat on the HIGHEST, most inaccessible shelf, the perpetrator isn’t just being inconsiderate. They are performing a PUBLIC EXECUTION of workplace harmony. They are sending a BRUTAL message: “This is mine. You are not worthy. You are too short, too weak, or simply too unimportant to deserve a simple pleasure.” It’s a deliberate act of SOCIAL WARFARE designed to humiliate and exclude.
Insiders call it a “passive-aggressive masterclass” in establishing a toxic pecking order. HR departments are IGNORING the psychological damage, dismissing it as “petty.” But experts warn this is the seed of a hostile work environment, a micro-aggression that ERUPTS into full-blown conflict. What’s next? Locking the coffee supplies? Hiding all the clean mugs? This is how office culture DIES—not with a bang, but with a quietly placed biscuit just out of reach. This deliberate act of culinary elitism proves the person in the next cubicle isn’t your colleague; they are your enemy in a cold war of crumbs. Your workplace isn’t a team—it’s a gladiatorial arena where the only rule is to watch your coworkers break.
