>Officio dormiens numquam titalandus"
What does this mean? I've already tried google translate, and it seems to be Latin.

As an add-on, Google translate gave me this, "office sleeping never titalandus"

"Draco dormiens numquam titalandus"
It's from Harry Potter, what does adding "office" to if signify?

In HP it's taken to mean "never tickle a sleeping dragon"

Why would someone tell me to "never tickle a sleeping office?"

"Don't ever tickle the office".
It doesn't make sense, don't worry.

Officio does not mean office, necessarily. It could mean duty/work/job, as well as person who performs said duty or job.

"Never tickle a sleeping worker".

This, OP. I believe it says don't tickle the "officio" if they're sleeping. But I don't know wtf that word is.

This is what four years of Latin does for me.

Wife's a Latin teacher here. It's definitely a riff on the Hogwarts motto. Two issues, though:
1) Titalandus is misspelled; it should be "titillandus".
2) "Oficio" ultimately comes from a word meaning "office", but it isn't acting like the right part of a sentence. Something's really wrong here; grammatically it's gibberish.

She's guessing something like "No tickling at the office", but it wasn't done very well.
