These People Accidentally Matched Their Office Decor And Just Went With It

You ever show up to a party with your best friend and you guys end up wearing the same exact outfits?
I personally love when that happens, but then again, it's way easier when it comes to a lot of my friends, because black T-shirts and dark blue pants are basically our unofficial uniforms for whatever reason. (Pssst, the reason is laziness).
Now it's one thing to copy the same outfit as a human being, which you may or may not be so happy to discover, but it's another thing to entirely to find out that you jacked your swagger from an inanimate object.
Like, I don't know, your office's carpet?

Turns out other people have done the same exact thing. Well, for Sharon Horgan, she happened to look like the floor at a bar she was visiting.

Others blended right into the wallpaper of their AirBnBs thanks to the help of a trusty throw blanket.
Ah, yes, I have been here, but as an Air BnB’s wallpaper. pic.twitter.com/FBqEfeSBY1

I mean these socks are basically invisible!
And this two-tone outfit job?
Catching the attention of a waiter when you're basically camouflaging with the table can be difficult.

— Adriana Vecchioli (@AdrianaVecc) June 7, 2018Who knew that furniture and clothing designers had such similar tastes in fabric?
I feel your pain 😂! Always good to blend in with the furnishings 🙈 pic.twitter.com/bkK38PwQq2

Ahh, takes me right back to that day I went to work dressed as a mug... pic.twitter.com/4keqJ2yUWh

All she needs to do is stand in front of a pillar and bam - she's basically Solid Snake.
Feel your pain. Turned up one Monday to find they’d painted the pillars and I can now be a disembodied head... pic.twitter.com/xPhetHU856
— Jo Stewart (@Silyoj) June 7, 2018These women can take a break from working pretty much anytime they want as long as they're rocking these dresses.
Me and @LizSM10Eighty on a work do - still makes me howl 😂 pic.twitter.com/cz9trUwMLL
— Jayne Harrison (@JayneHarrison3) June 6, 2018There's just so much blending in to be done.
Been there, done that pic.twitter.com/25H4vP9u5e
— Zoe Wyrko (@geri_baby) June 7, 2018Burton's tweet also brought about a very important question about the ubiquitous nature of a specific pattern design.
Do all offices have that carpet?! pic.twitter.com/J8K53sPtla
— Jennifer Jones (@jczreid) June 7, 2018Seriously, a lot of office spaces seem to have that same, staggered, multi-colored muted line design.
Yes pic.twitter.com/K4ZIeG9Pym
— Helen Parkin (@crazymuseumlady) June 7, 2018Which got people thinking of a lot of possibilities. Well, the only possibility, really.
On the plus side, opportunities for undetected workplace napping. You just need a balaclava from the same fabric.

Can't believe it's not been done yet@joydivision pic.twitter.com/9sNub88nyD
