My microwave apology video went viral in our breakroom

I accidentally set the office microwave for 15 minutes instead of 90 seconds and burnt popcorn so bad it set off the fire alarm. I posted a sincere apology on Slack with a photo of my mistake, and now three different coworkers have framed printouts of it on their desks. Has anyone else had a small screwup turn into a permanent public shaming?

Wait, they actually framed it? That's next level lmao.

Did they really frame it? That's honestly wild, I can't even get my friends to hang a poster without it ending up crooked. @daniel_cooper34 I tried to frame a cheap print once and ended up with more glass shards than actual art, so I respect the commitment. My own attempts at being fancy always look like a kindergartener did it with Elmer's glue and hope. So yeah, next level is right, I'm just over here with thumbtacks and shame.

Changed my whole view on framing honestly. Used to think it was just for rich people with museum money. But seeing how it transformed that print into something you'd actually wanna look at every day. It's not about being fancy, it's about respecting the art you own. Thumbtacks and shame is where I'm at too, but this made me rethink that. Might actually try a cheap frame from a thrift store next time and see what happens. Worst case I'll have more glass shards to clean up.
