Twitter shows us that 'blending in' at the office isn't always a good thing

A tweet that went viral this week showed us what it’s like to come to work and find out that your outfit has some company of its own. User @ilonacatherine shared the evidence on Twitter, prompting a slew of other users to chime in.

Twitter has spoken

Users showed Ilona that she’s definitely not alone — this has happened to other people at work, too.

We all know that this can happen anywhere

Not just in the workplace.

I’d been standing by this wall in a bar for over an hour before someone took this pic and showed it to me. Trying to be fancy = dressed like wall tiles pic.twitter.com/zhEoYjOWBz
