In the coal region of northeastern Pennsylvania, many home owners have a habit of creating a "showcase" room. It contains the finest and most expensive furniture in the home. This room is completely off limits with the rare exception of entertaining guests on very special occasions.
Scranton Rooms are meant to confuse company. They feel that one neat and finely furnished room will make up for the rest of their home being kept in total disarray. They also hope this one room will make others think they are more successful or refined than they actually are.
Scranton rooms are very similar to Italian rooms, but not limited to a particular ethnic background. Perhaps the large amount of Italian immigrants in the Scranton, Pennsylvania area helped make this a trend popular throughout the area.

Toddler: "Mommy, mommy! My ball just rolled into the other room!"
Mother: "Just leave it there! You KNOW you are never allowed in the Scranton room!"
When father's boss from the coal mine came to dinner, we entertained him in our Scranton room.

Plot:
2 boys discuss an internet urban legend of a mysterious pop up ad with an unusually adorable voice saying the words "Do you like...?" and it is said that anyone that dares to close this pop up would die of a horrible death. One of the boys is doubtful and did some investigation; after searching the web and finding nothing, the boy gives up and surfed a different site. Then suddenly a pop up ad showed up with an unusually adorable voice saying (in Japanese) "Do you like...?". The boy then proceeds to close the ad, only to have it repeatedly reappear and then the voice said "Do you like red?" in an more adorable voice than before. The boy then continues to attempt to close the pop up (in vain). Finally the voice became even more adorable than before said "Do you like red room?", then a website with a list of dead people appears, the main character notices that his friend's name is at the bottom of the list. Suddenly a pair of hands appear and grabs the boy. The next day rumors spread that two boys had apparently committed suicide after painting their rooms red with their own blood, we then return to boy's computer, still on the website of with a list of dead people we the addition of the boy's name on it at the bottom of the list. The computer then shuts off with an eerie sound.

The synchronous movement used by 3 or more co-workers in a tightly-spaced break room.
The ballet begins by each worker being stationed at one of the following:
Water cooler, coffee maker, cup station, refrigerator, snack machine, soda machine, silverware drawer, sink.
Each participant moves in unison from station to station as necessary, so as not to get in another co-worker's way.
Dance movements range from simple backwards and fowards steps, to more creative moves such as the "Matrix Backbend" to retrieve a coffee stirrer and the "Pull, Smell, Squint and Toss" manuevre when dealing with refrigerator leftovers.
Co-workers stuck in a Boss Sandwich are generally the leaders of this activity.
