Dilbertesque 

(adj) resembling an office environment like the one depicted in Dilbert strips, used esp. of managment trends or specific situations that have been mocked in the strips
I knew it was going to be a long day when I discovered the office printer had been moved into my already-cramped cubicle. This wouldn't have been so bad, except that my coworkers seemed to think it was now my job to deliver them the documents they were sending to the printer, but when my boss asked me to bring him the printed copy of the email I had just sent to him from my desk, it was downright Dilbertesque.

flophouse 

Any house/apartment/frat house/trailer/etc. which is used for individuals to crash (sleep, chill, hang out, lurk, etc.) for a period of time. In order to "crash", one must not actually live there (e.g. have their name on the lease, own said flophouse, etc.). Flophouses are typically used by college students, drug addicts, transients, vagrants, or other unsavory characters.

A flophouse may also be the home owned by the parents of a college student, who after being away at college, wishes to live as if he/she is still at college (e.g. staying out all night, returning just to crash at mom and dad's house, then leaving again), rather than conforming to the pre-college rules.
Example #1
Dude: (Talking to someone passed out face first on the floor of his college apartment) Hey man, who the hell are you? What do you think this is, a flophouse??

Bro: Sorry dude, I must have passed out for a minute.

Example #2
Mom: Where have you BEEN for the last three days? You come home just to sleep?? What do you think this is, a flophouse??!!

Son: What's your problem? I'm an adult now!
