One office worker took to the social media site to show people his unique use for his electric standing desk, and it’s certainly captured people’s attention, racking up more than 1.6million likes
There used to be a time where office desks were very standard, with 9-5 workers usually sat down for most of their day.
However, the introduction of standing desks mean many workers can stretch their legs a little bit more. Standing desks also have been found to help improve their posture, reduce back and neck pain and burn a few more calories.
However, one man found an even better way to use his electric standing desk that his company provided for him – and it’s left people in stitches.
The office worker, known as @king_bashel on TikTok, took to the social media site to show people his unique use for his desk, and it’s certainly captured people’s attention, racking up more than 1.6million likes.
The viral video sees Beyonce fan Bashel miming the words to one of Beyonce’s performances. As he does this, he sits on his electric standing desk which dramatically lifts him up while he’s in the office.
Overlay text at the start of the clip read: “POV: You finally found a reason to use your standing desk.”
People have been left in stitches over the clip, which has racked up more than 9,000 comments.
One person exclaimed: “NOBODY has ever used a standing desk more appropriately than you just did.” While another joked: “Standing desk sales bout to go crazy.”
A third joked: “My standing desk just told me to don’t even try it.” While another chimed in: “I can’t wait to get back to work.”
Other people also feared for Bashel’s job after the video, as one person wrote: “HR gonna have a hell of a time tryna keep a straight face while playing the video at the termination meeting.” While another added: “The CEO watching this.”
However, his job can’t have been that mad as Bashel has re-created the stunt several times now for different versions of the video.
One of these sees his dressed as Elphaba from Wicked as he performs Defying Gravity, while another Beyonce-themed clip sees Bashel perform in a Cowboy get-up as he writes: “POV: You WERKING this standing desk.”
