Are you an office Angel or Devil? Take this quiz to find out!????

Picture this: you’re enjoying a peaceful weekend coffee, when suddenly a flashback hits. You see it clearly—last week, after grabbing your second cup at work, the coffee ran out, but you didn’t go the shop to get more. Then, a little voice starts listing all the sneaky things you’ve done at work—some accidental, others… not so much.

As these memories play through your mind, you wonder: Do my co-workers secretly think I’m the office devil? Or have I, without realising, been an office angel all along? It’s time to find out—and maybe make a few changes before Halloween hits and your true colours show!
