It's why I don't watch The Office or Office Space. Just too much like the real office.

Someone told me early in my career that the longer you work in an office, the more Office Space transforms from a comedy to a documentary. They weren't wrong...
The day before the night I first saw Office Space, way after becoming an underground hit, I had my first encounter with the TPS communication barrage. It made the movie funnier and my work life sadder.

Similar thing happened with Idiocracy recently...

Parks & Recreation for anyone who's worked in a Government department.
Also Silicon Valley, albeit for a narrower audience. It’s so real it’s triggering.
