They were serious about Nigel.

Last Saturday, I was excited to finally meet Nigel, the new guy at work whom everyone had been talking about. I walked into the office, ready to greet him, only to find him attempting to fix the coffee machine with a rubber chicken and a roll of duct tape. As I stood there, mouth agape, he looked up and said, “What? This is how I fix all my problems!” Apparently, it was a running joke among the team that Nigel had a unique approach to life, but I didn’t realize they meant literally.
The absurdity of the situation hit me like a ton of bricks. Here was this guy, confidently wielding a rubber chicken like it was a sacred tool, while the entire office erupted into laughter. I couldn’t help but think, if you’ve ever had a bad day, just remember: at least you’re not trying to fix the coffee machine with poultry! From that moment on, “Nigel” became a verb in our office language—like, “Did you Nigel that presentation?” It’s safe to say, no one will ever forget him—or his trusty rubber chicken!
