I Faked Being At Work On Instagram For A Week

[@raihanarahim4718]

Clever of him to make buzzfeed pay for his vacation 😂

[@recoil53]

Probably tossed in an extra day or some meals.

[@Amanda11D]

That’s not how buzzfeed works, probably gave him like $100 to spend if anything

[@Ivan_Terro_10]

😂😂😂

[@UsonoHoushi]

But he was stressed for most of the time along with the fear of getting caught. So it wasn't a Fully Fun Vacation.

[@enchainedtreasures]

@@Amanda11D Along with having to get up at odd times to work.

[@giss23]

The main thing in the video I noticed is how many people were concerned for him when he posted that accident video. Not many people will be concerned about you nowadays. From this it thus proves Aria is a great guy and is well loved by everyone near him.

so according to the "how I fall in love with my coworker" video, this one was made right after Aria confessed his feelings towards Merle for the first time. And this trip was where his friend gave his the most important suggestions to win this relationship later lol.

[@georgiion1684]

wow, people do actually have multiple friends who worry about them and who want to hang out with them on the weekend? that's crazy, i never knew that.

THIS was actually too much WORK for a vacation. I'm totally one of those people who while watching this was like, okay if you were in the office, and I was watching the pre-filmed videos, in some, I could see some staff and people in the background---so if I saw X person, and I go say where's Aria today, and they're totally wearing a different outfit from the video they were in the background in---stuff like that---wouldn't that sink you. Or let's say the day you planned to upload the car trouble thing, it had rained (though it's LA so not likely) but there are just too many variables to juggle.

If you didn’t know, while on this trip the girl who he was with “joe” was giving him advice on Merle because before aria left on the trip he confronted her with his feelings and he couldn’t handle potentially being lead on as they were well known for being flirtatious.Then when he came back he told her that she could take her time no pressure on how she should feel. Then she knew she liked him back because of this and now they’re dating! Credit to the “ how i fell in love with my co worker video” if u haven’t seen it
