It’s a time-honored D.C. tradition, for some at least: Half-day workdays on Fridays in August. It’s the reason why the lunchtime rush will be worse than you expect it to be today, your co-worker has a swimsuit under her officewear, and DCist comment threads are slooooow. It’s also one of the classic sources of ill will between close friends in this city. To wit, from all of us who don’t take half-day Fridays in August, to all our friends who are planning on slipping out of the office after lunch for a relaxing afternoon at home or a leisurely trek to the ocean, we have just two words for you: Suck It.

But we’re curious, how many of you actually do get this summertime office perk?
