Do you have a best friend at work? Having a work BFF makes work much easier and more fun. It also means you always have someone to chat with while you’re at work.

Check out these 13 things you will be able to relate to if you have a work BFF.

1. You And Your Work BFF Have Loads Of Inside Jokes

You and your Best Friend Forever from work have so many inside jokes that you struggle to remember them all. Once you joked about writing them all down because there would probably be enough to fill a book. You only have to say one sentence with an inside joke in it and your work BFF will start cracking up.

2. You Always Visit Your Work BFF’s Desk

You visit each other’s desks every day, normally multiple times. You have stopped pretending it is for work reasons. Now you unashamedly go over to show your work BFF a cute video of puppies you found on Instagram.

3. You Hate It When They Go On Vacation

When your work BFF is on holiday, work becomes just work – and nothing else. The day they come back is like Christmas coming early. You can’t wait to get to the office to hear all of their holiday stories.

4. You Experience Bad Days Together

If you’re having a stressful day, your BFF will empathize and end up having a stressful day too. It’s nice to be in it together. Plus, you can complain to each other on the way out of the door.

5. You Discuss Office Gossip Together

There is so much drama in your office, it’s often more exciting than Game Of Thrones. You always update each other on the latest office going-ons through email, text, phone, and whispered conversations while your boss isn’t looking.

6. You Know Each Other’s Worst Habits

Why does your work BFF have to type so loudly? You can hear it from the other side of the office. Then again, they don’t judge you for never washing your coffee cup. Like literally – you’ve never washed it.

7. You Talk About Mean Co-Workers Together

Your work BFF has a boss who never listens, and you have a lazy co-worker. The easiest way to deal with them is to rant about them to each other. It may feel mean, but it helps both of you deal with it. After all, you have to stick together against the forces of office evil.

8. You Hang Out Together Outside Of Work

You both go for a glass of wine together after work. In fact, you do this a lot. After a long day at work complaining to each other, all you both want to do is have a laugh together.

9. You Know What They Like For Lunch

You know your work BFF hates mayo, and they know you love olives on everything – mainly because you eat lunch together 5 days out of 7.

10. You And Your Work BFF Have Nicknames For Everyone Else In The Office

This is mainly so you can whisper about people in the office, while you’re still in the office. Did you see what loud shoes just did?!

11. You Text And Call Each Other On The Evenings And Weekends

40 hours a week together just isn’t enough. Your  work bestie NEEDS to know what is going on with your relationship drama.

12. You Can Have Conversations Without Talking

You and your work BFF often have full conversations in facial expressions – especially during meetings.

13. You Only Go To Work Parties If Your Work BFF Will Be There

You won’t to go to a work party if they aren’t going, because without them you would sit alone, eating all of the snacks, and feeling awkward.
