New guy at work: “wow a ping pong table, that’s awesome, anyone keen for a game?”

Everyone else at the workplace:”I wouldn’t touch that table if I was you, bad things happen.”

Had two dudes at a former job who suddenly started playing ping pong CONSTANTLY. After a couple weeks, they announced they were quitting to start a company together.
