    Sat next to a right numpty

    Just parachuted in at a new site because they suspect existing guy is out of his depth. I rock on up to the hot desk area next to the vending machine and the toilets as that where he's usually based. I spotted him straight away.

    He's spread all his crap over all three desks. There's mountains of tissue boxes and cold/flu medicines, imodium, preparation H etc It's like someone blew up a Boots. The other side of is him is a huge pile of 'for dummies' books.

    I did try to engage him in conversation to find out how much of a mess we're I'm now in but he just stares unblinking at his browser. He seems to be mostly looking up disease symptoms on google and posting on mumsnet.

    I don't have the heart to tell him he's about to get sh1t-canned.

    What should I do?

    Meet him in the toilet and pee on his shoes?
