Employee tries to stop 'Pokémon Go' hunters, becomes infected with the craze

There are people who've managed to resist the Pokémon Go craze, but their numbers are dwindling, fast.

In this video, a disgruntled employee complains that people can't stop coming into her job to catch Pokémon. She initially tried to resist them, but in trying to understand their obsession, she decided to download the game.

Almost immediately, she, too, became infected with the madness, and was ashamed of the nerd she became.

"I thought if I downloaded the game I couch catch all the Pokémons in my work and people would stop coming to catch them," she says, "but that's not how it works."

We hear you.
