When you are out at night with a coworker of the opposite sex & end up driving them home & somehow magically wake up in their bed the next morning.
Dan ended his night last night by driving a coworker home. He drove Sarah home from the bar last night. I went to pick up Dan this morning to play golf & he wasn't at his apt. Instead, he was at Sarah's from the night before and she was making him pancakes.

Get the Driving a coworker home mug.The person with whom you share an office who constantly (pick one or several): clears his throat, shares all the minutest details of her boring existence, publicly agonizes over the smallest of decisions (often goes with previous quality), mosturizes his hands every five minutes, adjusts her clothes or hair every three minutes, or talks/laughs too loudly and too often.
Annoying coworker: "I just can't decide whether or not to attend my boyfriend's step-grandmother's funeral."
Me: "Were you close to her?"
A.C.: "I've only met her once about a year ago."
Me: "Was her death sudden?"
A.C.: "She's been battling cancer for three years now."
Me: "I wouldn't go."
A.C. (turns to other coworker in the room): "Should I go to my boyfriend's step-grandmother's funeral? I really think his family would appreciate me going."
Me: "Then why don't you go?"
A.C.: "Oh, I'm just not sure if my boyfriend wants me to go or not."
Me: "Why don't you ask him?"
A.C.: "Oh, I can't do that!"
...and on and on and on...

Get the Annoying Coworker mug.Similar to the Friend Zone, the coworker zone is a lonely state you find yourself in after your attempts to initiate an outside-of-work friendship with a coworker are rejected. Can also be used as a verb – to be "coworker zoned" is to be denied friendship by a coworker, thereby placing you in the coworker zone.
I asked Charles if he wanted to hang out and work on the project some time, but he totally missed the point that I wanted to hang out and just said he wasn't really interested in working on the project. He totally put me in the coworker zone.

Get the coworker zone mug.A grading scale of coworker hotness that tends to form after weeks, months, or years of working among the same individuals. Based on the coworker curve, the least ugliest becomes the hottest and the ugliest becomes the least hottest.
The coworker curve has similar effects as beer goggles. It no longer relies on common sense standards of hotness and sex appeal. For most it happens subconsciously, you'll walk into a workplace for the first time and see all 2's and 5's (out of 10), and months later you'll find yourself checking out that same 5 as if they were a 9. Or even worse, you start bringing that fugly beat to parties and showing them off to your friends.

Coworker: I thought Sally was pretty ugly when I first started working here, but after a few months..... she's actually pretty cute.
Me: Yea, she's cute based on the coworker curve , but uglier than shit in real life.

Get the The Coworker Curve mug.When a coworker, with whom you are friends, declares you to be "merely a coworker" thereby terminating the friendship.
My good friend at work, who happens to be very attractive and who I would totally ask out on a date if we did not work together, has totally coworkerzoned me. No more friendly banter or coffee talk. I have been demoted and expelled from the friendzone.

Get the [stupid] coworker mug.Pretty much the brother of the friend zone, but indeed worse. She only wants to socialize with you at work. Say goodbye to any plans that you might've had with her, because she won't be seen with you unless it's at work.
Billy: I've tried to set plans up with her outside of work, but she never comes through. She agrees to while we're working together, but then she leaves me in the dark afterwards
John: You, my friend, have just been thrown into "The Coworker Zone".
