Seeking office horror stories

jducoeurI seem to have accidentally wound up with the high concept for my game for Intercon next year. (As so often, it's all Christian's fault: he is always a font of game ideas.)
To that end, I am looking for any and all ideas for Drip -- the water-cooler horror game. It's going to be a vicious satire of All Things Office. The ideas are already flowing pretty quickly, but I welcome more: if you have character ideas, situations or just war stories about Office Life, send them along and I might work them in. Feel free to brainstorm wildly: weird and unlikely isn't necessarily a bar here. (Those who remember Panel will know how willing I am to get downright strange in my scenarios.)
(No,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tpau, I'm not bidding it yet. Among other things, I haven't figured out the game's scope yet. It might be a one-hour 10-person Z game, a two-hour 20-person Sunday-or-Friday game, or a full four-hour 25-to-30-person slot. Once I understand how big the game is, I can think about bidding it...)

Also, I shit you not, the guy down the hall from me sings everything as if his life were a musical, and has wreaked a horror upon us all known as "Phil Collins Friday". There is a special circle of hell just for him.

*barf*
n.b. It is not my current employer who wrought onto me the FISH! paradigm, but one several years ago and far away. Thank gods.
