When it comes to problem-solving on the clock, sometimes the simplest or laziest solutions are the best ones. Okay, most of the time, they’re not.

These random lazy fixes just go to show that there’s no need to go the extra mile at work. Most people barely scrape by with the least amount of effort.

Thankfully, the office’s resident label-maker genius took matters into their own hands. They created a DIY “green button” label for the red button. There, we fixed it!
