kind of a problem

I keep chocolates on my desk for people to stop by and snack on. It's a great way of encouraging people to drop by and say hello. Today, this exchange happened:

Coworker: MMMmmm, malted milk balls!
Me: Yeah, they're kind of a problem, aren't they?
Coworker: I mean this in the nicest way possible: you're kind of a problem.
Me: *cracks up*

Still the best job ever!
