I thought it was an intentional joke but he didn’t seem to think it was funny, even when I explained the “404: Office Not Found”.

I still think it’s objectively funny.

        So you’re saying it probably was just some random coworkers who changed it to 404 in the first place? Then IT is probably getting sick of it, too.

    IT has probably heard that joke enough times that they wish the next person that tells it steps on lego blocks barefoot in the dark.

      He didn’t get it. Blank stare. “Oh I was looking for you at 404. Thought that was funny.” “My office isn’t there.” “Yeh, but it’s 404. And you weren’t found.” “My office is here.” “Okay. Well anyway…”

      I work in IT and if I had the option of having an office 404 I would take it and then use societal pressure to dare people to actually make that joke.

      And if they did I would take the security cam photo of them walking up to my office and posted on the wall outside of my office on the Wall of shame.

      The Wall of shame board currently is empty, but I have thought about putting up a sign from Wikipedia that says you can help by expanding it

    Holy shit finally. I’m a professor and my office is Room 404 of a building that’s a completely impossible maze. Students routinely show up 15 minutes late unable to locate my office, and I have tried so desperately to get literally anyone to laugh at my “Error 404 Room Not Found” jokes with no success.
