Naming office equipment has become a quirky tradition among the participants, with various machines receiving humorous and creative names based on their personalities and behaviors. Notable examples include a cranky printer called Diablo II, which requires "voodoo offerings" to function, and Willis, a printer that falsely claims to be out of paper. Other named devices include Squeaky, The Works, and a shredder dubbed The Nommminator. The discussion also touches on the practice of naming personal items, such as laptops and even office fish, with suggestions for names reflecting their characteristics or humorous references. Participants share their own naming experiences, revealing a broader trend of anthropomorphizing inanimate objects in the workplace, which fosters a sense of camaraderie and lightheartedness among colleagues.
