Just when you think you've seen everything.

Everyone has their quirks, sometimes you've just got to laugh.

Daft Bloke At Work surpassed himself this morning. Always an eccentric he's been getting more and more obsessed with having his computer screen at the correct height and level. This morning he has attached two small spirit levels on the top and side of the screen to ensure the screen is set true.

It's Friday, I go home soon and I'm in a silly mood. While Daft Bloke At Work was out of the office a couple of us slipped some wood under one side of his desk, putting his spirit levels out of level. Daft Bloke At Work came back, noticed his screen was out and reset it calling us a pair of idiots.

What comes next is just too silly. The computer screen is ok but does not look right on the desk. Daft Bloke At Work can't work out why, he took the spirit levels off his screen and has been testing them on other surfaces to see if they are working alright. He is now considering taking them back to where he brought them. I'm finding every excuse to get out of the office to laugh.

I have got two hours left. Should I tell him?

Yeah dont tell him. Theres an idiot where i work, well theres a lot of them but this one is one of the worst. Anyway, he often reads on break but still manages to make loads of annoying noise so we often move the bookmark in his book to a different page and he is too stupid to ever notice.

Well did you????

Whitebootman · November 13, 2009

Of course not. See what Monday brings. We did try to say the bubbles were faulty, just got told to 'go forth and multiply'.

We have a cunning plan for his chair next.

Come and join us WB..................

A girl at work asked me for advice on how to get shut of ants from her kitchen she had tried everything without any success....................keeping a very straight face I told her to go to City Pets and ask for an aardvark, the very best thing to clear ants out of a house...........................she went, next morning she was in tears, her husband hadn't stopped taking the piss all night, I got struck off her Christmas card list :lol:

i sat next to a woman a few years back who really was the living end. she used to come in to work and start putting her feet on top of cabinets doing stretches. she was well past 40 so it was not the prettiest sight at 8 am. right in the middle of the staff room. divorcee and left her 15 year old daughter back in canada with friends while she went to 'find herself'. her worst habit was banging on her keyboard like a monkey. i used to see the tea in my cup vibrate when she was writing emails.

so... wireless keyboard..... myself and a couple of the lads decided to swap her batteries in the keyboard round so two positive ends were facing each other.

damn, watching her ape around all morning unable to figure out why her keyboard did not work was priceless.

Why would you ruin the fun by spilling the beans? Silly move. Sit back and giggle.

Clever thing would be to remove the wood before he gets in on Monday. That'll throw him for a loop.

you're clearly taunting someone with autism.

take a spirit level in for him that you have doctored so it doesn't read right.

or even better a water level.

you should swap sides with the angle too, it coulld throw him into further confusion.

We've been rumbled, got back from lunch to find the wheels on our chairs have been removed and the chairs left on bricks. Daft Bloke At Work is not so daft, at least he gave us our wheels back. Eventually.

No truce till Christmas.
