When leaving apartment door to do a garbage chute drop in apartment hallway, apartment dweller temporarily froze when she found creepy "Bruce Willish" (the name given to "not Bruce Willis but has some uncanny similarities to Bruce Willis, but much creepier" man) in the hallway with three dogs. Creepy Bruce Willish mentioned that the dogs were friendly, but woman with garbage didn't mention that it wasn't the dogs that was concerning her, it was Bruce Willish. Fortunately, the elevator came seconds later, bringing awkward moment to an end and the temporary departure of Bruce Willish and dogs. Woman was able to reconvene in garbage drop off once the elevator doors closed.
In a related story, the same apartment dweller discovered that a former creepy resident had actually not moved out, but that she had successfully managed to avoid him for some time without having to use rock climbing gear to repel down the side of the building. (Apartment dweller reminded of saving funds to move.)

Sarcasm mistaken for sincerity in entertainment committee
When an entertainment committee member proposed an idea for hiring clowns for a group of grown-ups, other committee members were perhaps showing too much enthusiasm in their sarcasm when they responded with "Yeah. Sure. That's a *great* idea. Why not ask them to do balloon shaping while at it?"
Not realizing other committee members were being sarcastic, member checked off "clown and balloon shaping" very enthusiastically on their check list.
Later, when people asked why there was a clown making balloon shapes in the parking lot during a food truck event, remaining committee members did a combination of shoulder shrugging, while others just slipped off without a comment.

Work colleagues slightly bummed they didn't get to use Groucho Marx disguise
Employee in office suspected office space surveyor was actually just making notes of all the things they would rather be doing than checking to see who or how a cubicle space is being used. After 5th time office space surveyor walked around and made notes in tablet, employee thought of ways of messing with office space surveyor when he came around the next hour -- like changing desks with co-worker, occupying an empty desk, or putting on Groucho Marx glasses. After talking to work colleagues, they all realized they were a bit disappointed they didn't get to buy and use Groucho Marx glasses in time for the next round of the office surveyor.
In another part of the office floor, another employee seriously considers buying a Magic Mesh Door and doorbell to make her cubicle more like a home office.
