You are likely to find your BFF in your office

London: You are most likely to meet your Best Friend forever (BFF) at workplace rather than through school, university, hobbies or family, a new study has found. The study in Britain observed that one in three workers finds their kindred spirits sitting across the desks or gossiping around the water cooler in the office.

Over one in ten said their friendship group consists mainly of friends met at university and 4 percent while on holiday. Researchers found that Britons now have little time to spend on hobbies after work that just three in 100 friends are now forged through sport, music and the arts. According to the study, a third of adults met their best buddy when they shared a classroom as school pupils. This was followed by friends made at workplace (27 percent), through other friends, (11 percent), and university (10 percent), the poll of 2,012 people found. Just 1 percent met friends while house sharing. Among men and women aged over 50, friendships made at school still account for one in six of their social circle, indicating these friendships do last a lifetime. PTI
