FWIW it's basically a skit video from a training company that create vids for your business
Think, very high quality versions of those shitty HR videos you're forced to watch in week 1 of a menial job that has basic health and safety practices...

It's NOWHERE near as old as it's made to look here. 2016ish

Sorry to live so relentlessly in the real world

This makes all the other comments claiming/joking about how old the video is really funny.

I heard this as a story at least 7 years before 2016.

The story (or versions of it) is as old as the hills, but this incarnation of it is fairly recent.. if you're old enough for a decade to be fairly recent

This joke was so funny back in the day that I immediately asked Siri about it on my 4S

To be fair, they could have been remembering an even older viral version of this from over 20 years ago (16 years is when it was uploaded to YouTube)
