It's time to sabotage your own desk to the folly of the day shift. Is it possible for you to place a fake keyboard where they wouldn't see the real one? You could rig it to shock them when they depress the keys by lining the inside of the keyboard with a conductive metal (tin foil "might" work) and then piercing the individual keys with straightened out staples. When the keys go down, assuming the individual is grounded they'll get a shock. Use batteries as the power source to ensure it's only a mild shock, and of course don't plug in the rigged keyboard to the computer.

Here's a trick my roommate played on me in college, take a condom and fill it up with lotion. Find a "dummy" keyboard to use instead of your real one, and just leave it sitting there. Trust me, nobody will want to use your computer. Be sure to leave some in the seat too.

I know one person that keeps people form sitting at her desk by using a chair with a messed up arm rest where the cushioning came off. She figures that she can tolerate the messed up arm rest, but other people won't want to.

Like really it is only a damn chair, and the reason it is called hoteling is b/c u share a desk with someone..get over it..it is public property, not yours,so suck it up princess, and if it is really that big of a concern, then go on a team that does not hotel, or find a new job..Like how old are u?really..time to grow up a bit and learn to deal with s***..things do not always go your wau, and ya have to learn to deal with it..

Yeah, like learning that what people say in forums is usually just a vent, or a rant, designed to do nothing but inform and amuse the rest of us. If you don't appreciate a healthy dose of superfluos complaining, I would say you are in the wrong place, pal. Grow a sense o' humour, then come on back now!, y'hear?

a moment of highscool is flashing back to me, grade 9 math class, kid didnt like the chair because it was not the right one. he hunted high and low throughout the rest of the classroom for "his" chair, we made fun of him becuase my gawd its just a chair, i mean get over it, so many people work in this place through out an average day and you could only imagine the amount of people who sit on these chairs. its NO big deal. anyways like i've been told before, cant teach an old dog new tricks. hence the new trick would be to get a new chair, or OTHER chair.

My own personal flashback from Grade 10 - Kid stole the teachers chalk. For some reason it was a huge deal because he replaced it with this chalk that looks white but turns your clothes and hands bright PINK. But the difference in scenarios is - everyone wanted that chalk. Not just one person. And also the teacher didn't become a pathetic whiney bitch about it. AND it was Grade 10. We weren't in a call center with 800+ people over the age of 18. I'm taking a vote. Anyone else think this thread is tired and we should think of something else to talk about besides the apparent lack of maturity in this center? Let me know. Show of hands?? Mine is up ... VERY up.

ok you guys are missing the point big time. its not the fact that people take chairs whatever. there is one chair for each and every desk here. my problem is the fact that every single flippin day i show up and there is no chair at my desk. wich means i have to hunt one down. and when i do, and leave for lunch (30 minutes) its either gone or destoryed. arm rests hacked up, or the back is busted. i work 8 and a 1/2 hours a day. all i ask is a chair that is in decent condidion without having to spend 15 minutes tracking one down. thats only half the point. i have a few signs on my walls...for some reason people constantly deface them, draw on them rip them take them down....why? have some god damned respect for the other people you work with....

again its just a damn chair, people take the chair or MOVE the chair no biggie it happens, i dont know why you get all stressed and pissed off over something NO ONE in this center can control it happens, life must go on. your worrying more about the past issues and ****. plus i mean hello you should be smart enough to understand the more you bitch about the "issues" you seem or think you have, people will just continue doing it because your showing that what they do is GETTING to you, therefore they find it funny and laugh at you and think you hilarious so they continue doing it because it provides them with a laugh or two.. just drop it and see if it continues? everyday you come in at like 3:15 and right away start bitching and freaking out...

Yeah so the people who sit in the chairs and deface company owned equipment should be held responsible and reprimanded for thier stupid actions.

I never once complained outloud here or posted it in the forums but because you guys are puting down this rant, here comes the pain:

I enjoy having padded arms to rest my sleeveless arms on, I don't enjoy the rough surface that is created from the people who pick off the padding. I actually received a rash from my arm moving around on the rough surface so much one day. You didn't pay for the chair so you have no right to destroy it.

I don't enjoy having to seek out a new chair to sit on. I have seen our chair graveyard (a supervisor named it that because it is a horrid array of mangled ) co...

Hold up there Turbo, we were not putting down the "rant" - we were simply commenting on the freak out session that ensues when rep1of2000 comes in to work each day. Are you on this team? Do you have to listen to it? If not, keep your "here comes the pain" comments to yourself. Until you have to listen to him bitch every day at work, you have no idea what "pain" is. I don't agree with defacing work property but you know what else I don't agree with? Wasting work time bitching about lack of a chair. That's an even bigger affront if you ask me. Which you didn't - but still. I get that its a piss off to have your stuff messed up when you get to work but the bottom line is - the chair, cubicles, computers, phones etc all belong to the company, so...

no there is no point to the ranting and raving..it's a damn chair and it does not belong to the rep..it is a company chair, and the day the rep buys his own a brings it in, i can see the point..until then it is public property, and it's not like no one else deals with it, they just don't freak about it and get another chair..

It's not public property. Fact is that it belongs to the company and should not be intentionally damaged. Jerks who do things like that should be repremanded and charged for repairs.

Although, I will agree that it is just a chair. It's nothing to have a stroke over.

My problem with things like that is that the armrest on the chair at my desk got stripped off by some disrespectful rep in the neighboring department. I ended up keeping the thing... and the thing hasn't been swiped since. hehe I always have a chair when I come in to work. 🙂

I understand that wreaking the chairs is one thing, I don't like to have a chair with destroyed arms, but you deal with it.

It's another thing to throw a hissy fit when you come in and your chair is missing. I have come in many times and i have no chair at my desk, I just run and grab another chair around my area, I don't throw a hissy fit and start swearing around. Buddie learn how to deal with it.

If you are making this reference just to me, I don't make a hissy fit about it at work, i don't come in and start ranting and raving. I deal with it and move on.

You guys need to get over this guys rant, it's just a rant, thats life, move on. Grow up stop being so immature about it calling him names. What are you, in grade 3?

There now how does that sound coming from someone else besides you? You think he is throwing a hissy fit, re-read most of the other reprasentatives rants, now those are hissy fits.

First of all, Greasey, I don't think you are in any place to be telling people what to do. Here's a tip - there's this thing catching on nowadays - yeah its called SHOWERING. Have you heard of it? Clearly not. If you feel the need to utter detrimental comments about myself and others, have a spine (and a bath first) and do it in person. You're a sissy who has spaz attacks about his CHAIR. Seriously, grab a life, and some balls and stop posting retarded temper tantrums on here. Whenever I see you whining like a little bitch - the only thing running through my mind is "Somebody put a tent over this f*cking circus." Always a pleasure.
