Office worker protectively labels Coke can that's in danger of fizzing over

Beware the fizz.

When it comes to the fridge, you and your coworkers are just like roommates – except there are usually way more people in an office than an apartment, making communication even harder.

However, Reddit user Kfsb shared a pretty nice communication system unfolding in the office fridge.

Kfsb spotted a Coca-Cola can that supposedly needs some time to settle down before being opened.

"This fell out of the fridge at 8:45 a.m. on 11/7. Please do not open until what you perceive to be a reasonable amount of time has passed," the Post-It placed upon the can reads.

The note is labeled with today's date, Nov. 7, and Kfsb has been keeping watch of it. As of 11:57 a.m. EST, the can is still in there unopened.

A "reasonable amount of time" probably won't be until later this afternoon, so we recommend watching this story closely.
