We spend a lot of time at our jobs. For most of us, they’re a routine part of life, something we’re used to as we go about our days and tackle the tasks on our plates. But there’s a whole world of work out there that looks nothing like what we experience, and seeing it through unfamiliar eyes can be genuinely fascinating, even if for those doing it, it’s just another Tuesday.
Across the internet, people have been sharing photos of interesting and curious things they’ve spotted during their workdays, and we’ve gathered some of the coolest ones here. From vets having fun with their animal patients to NASA workers casually capturing rocket launches, scroll down to check them out and don’t forget to upvote your favorites.

#68 My Workplace Decided To Wash All Our Legos Today
Ok, backstory here, I work at a place that is best described as a Lego museum (we have a ton of other interesting brands, like ones that can light up when you stack them or ones that just look like paper, but eh, Lego, right?). We found 7 huge unidentifiable boxes in our warehouse last week, filled to the brim with (what else could it be but) Lego.
Thus began our long journey of washing all said Legos. We’re currently on box number 2, and this isn’t even a quarter of it. I see no light at the end of the tunnel. If a stairway to hell exists, it must be inlaid with unwashed Legos.
