The Nuffnang office is a place where you’ll see people in almost 15 of the 24 hours of the day. Sometimes some of us end up staying till very late so even at night say 8.30PM you’ll often see at least some of us still around.
Last night the Nuffies went to Hennessy Artistry together. I didn’t go. Chose instead to stay home and play XBOX. Yes I know I’m anti-social.
So right after work they all went to Pavilion for dinner together just before they went for the event. Sue had a lot of work to do though so she decided to stay behind.
This is how the Nuffnang Office looks late at night when everyone is gone. I took this picture some time ago and it was at like 12AM or something when I was working late alone.
While everyone was out, suddenly the electricity supply in the entire office building got cut off and our office went almost totally dark (except for the lights from the neighbouring buildings through our windows).
Sue was all alone and she got a little scared so she called up Nicholas to ask when the rest of the Nuffies were coming back to the office.
Nicholas told her they were coming back soon but added
“Hey Sue, sometimes at night right one of the toilets will keep overflowing but if that happens then just ignore it ok?”
Sue went something like
“HAR?”
And Nicholas went on to add again
“Oh and if you hear like the sound of a baby crying from the toilet then just ignore it ok?”
I don’t know what Sue said after that but I heard from the rest that by the time they all got back from dinner they saw Sue waiting in the lobby of our building with all the security guards looking very traumatized.
Nicholas and the rest all had a good laugh about it. They told me about it over lunch today.
Nicholas was saying
“I don’t understand why some people are so scared of ghosts. I mean if it was me and I heard a toilet overflowing and a baby crying in the middle of the night I would just open the door and shout “THE FUCK IS GOING ON IN HERE?!?!”

I’d really love to see Nicholas do that.
What would you guys do if you heard something like that at home or in the office late at night?
