Appropriate and Inappropriate Code

KNOW THE WORK RULES APPROPRIATE Here is your code AWWW,YOU'RE SWEET. INAPPROPRIATE Here is your code HELLO, HUMAN RESOURCES?!

A two-panel office cartoon contrasts an appropriate interaction, where a man gives a woman a code and she responds warmly, with an inappropriate interaction, where a suspiciously masked figure gives her a code and she calls human resources. The joke is that the same innocent phrase becomes threatening because of the sender’s appearance and behavior, making it a reaction to awkward, creepy, or suspicious conduct.
