You know the feeling when an appliance or a smoke detector just refuses to stop beeping and shut up? For this one unlucky lawyer, it was just that but not from a microwave or coffee machine. Unfortunately for her, it's the best-friend-turned-colleague who never quite evolved out of middle school. Somewhere between the cold coffee updates and TikTok marathons in the open-plan wasteland, the younger version of this friendship slid into the Twilight Zone. Once, sharing secrets meant late-night sleepovers and cautionary tales about teachers. Now, it's a barrage of toilet confessions and ponytail betrayals, all delivered with the urgency of a courtroom emergency.
