“Things I hate about work: 1. Waking up 2. Humans 3. Working”

A jocular statement about work has been printed on posters and ecards:

Things I hate about work:
1. Waking up
2. Humans
3. Working

The list of three work complaints was first cited on Twitter on May 1, 2013. Some lists contain more than three things.
