Was in a first come first served hot desk situation at a large well known government bailed out and now owned bank and one day I was sat there working until a guy came in, sat opposite me, crawled under the desk and proceeded to start unplugging the mouse/keyboard/screen from the machine I was working on while I was working on it.
I wanted to choke him out but had to make do with "Oi mate - WTF are you doing?!""Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

Originally posted by Jog On View PostIt wasn't his monitor or keyboard/mouse. it was on the bank of hotdesks my team had used for a few weeks and a machine I used regularly by getting in early enough. This guy had just started and come in too late to get one of the fully working desks.You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think.Comment
