Office Worker Says Boss Glued Crystal to Laptop to “Harmonize Frequencies,” Internet Responds with Sarcasm
FLORIDA — An office worker’s post about their boss gluing a crystal to the bottom of their laptop has gone viral — and it’s as bizarre as it sounds. The reason? According to the employee, their boss claimed it was to “harmonize the frequencies in the office.”
The image, shared on Reddit, shows a smooth, dark crystal firmly attached to the underside of a silver laptop. The frustrated employee wrote, “My boss put this on the bottom of my laptop so I can’t just put it down anymore.” The post instantly caught attention, with thousands of users joking about workplace “energy healing” and the strange lengths some managers go to for “positive vibes.”
‘I Can Feel the Frequencies of My Patience Collapsing’ — Internet Reacts
One of the most-liked comments summed up the collective disbelief: “It’s working… I can feel the frequencies of my patience collapsing.” That comment alone racked up more than 13,000 upvotes.
Others joined in with their own stories about “spiritually obsessed” coworkers or relatives. “This was me listening to my brother-in-law explain the frequencies that can be found on YouTube,” one commenter joked. Another replied, “My sister-in-law claims she’s so spiritually advanced that she can hear sound in space. Or maybe she can — when she’s traveling astrally.”
The thread quickly became a mix of workplace humor and parody advice, with users suggesting ways to “fight back” using equally absurd energy tactics.
Creative Revenge Ideas from the Comments Section
One popular response proposed that the employee play along with the boss’s new-age obsession. “OP could buy cheap crystal rocks and start leaving them around the office — on the window sills, under desks, maybe even draw a few runes on paper and tape them to the whiteboard corners,” one commenter suggested. “It would be so magical, just like the boss wants.”
Another user quipped, “Imagine trying to return your company laptop and having to explain the gemstone glued to the bottom — ‘It’s not for looks, it’s for harmony.’”
Others joked that the boss might next suggest burning sage in the server room to “cleanse the Wi-Fi energy.”
A Broader Look at Pseudoscience in the Workplace
While most of the responses leaned humorous, the viral post also reignited discussion about pseudoscience creeping into professional spaces. Workplace consultants say that while some companies encourage mindfulness and wellness, mixing metaphysical beliefs into shared environments can cross professional boundaries.
Dr. Elise Martin, an organizational behavior expert, told Saluda Standard-Sentinel that gestures like this can be awkward or even disruptive. “When a personal belief is imposed on employees — even with good intentions — it can make others uncomfortable,” she said. “Not everyone wants their workspace to become a spiritual experiment.”

As one commenter put it: “Some offices have toxic energy. Others just glue it on.”
