…if something is way too big, it can blow your eyes out!

The above image is currently the most popular on the Funny sub-Reddit.  Here is the story, as told by user knobcrick who took the picture:

"In 2005 I was working for a 'telemarketing' firm….  Morale was so bad at the company, management went to great lengths to keep people that actually worked hard.  One of the ways they did this was a short lived but highly entertaining award for 'Employee of the Month'. Said employee was treated to answering calls from a 'special' desk with a 42" monitor.

"Here is the first and last employee of the month winner. The next months winner could not go more than two days with the XL monitor stating his 'retinas were getting burned out by the heat from the screen'."

Apparently, the real winners were all the other employees who had something to keep them amused for a month.
