RANT: chair thieves

those of you who work in cubicles probably know what im talking about. what the hell is the problem with people who 'borrow' chairs from my cube? so for those who dont know, each cube at my office has a 'nice' ergo-chair for the owner of the cube, and a generic chair for when you have one-on-ones with people. since my cube is right by a meeting room, people tend to come to my cube to borrow my spare chair for meetings when there arent enough chairs in the room to begin with. thats fine, if they return the damn thing. i'd say at least 75% of the time people dont. the worst is when people come by and ask to borrow it and PROMISE to return it and, guess what? the fuckers dont return it. sometimes when they ask to borrow it, i just feel like saying 'no, because you are an inconsiderate asshole who, despite 'promising' me otherwise, wont return it. i mean i know that my desk is a whole 10 feet away from where you would be using it, and it must wear you out to carry it back. or maybe you are just forgetful. and if so i hope you arent always like that. i mean, if you are, how are you still in your job? how has no one else snapped from the urge of giving you a swift backhand to the face? seriously... explain that one to me' that would be awesome...

one time someone had the nerve to borrow my ergo-chair while i was gone... i mean, who the fuck does that? my other spare chair was untouched... luckily i knew people in the meeting, so i basically stood in front of the meeting window giving them a 'wtf' look. they gave me my ergo chair back, and i let them borrow my spare, and we all had a nice laugh... but guess what happened when the meeting ended? thats right. they did NOT return the chair. fuckers...

i have a confession to make.... i steal chairs all the time.. not that i really need them.. i have a very nice chair of my own... i just have this weird compulsion to accumulate as many as i can... when i left work today i had my chair plus 3 others in my 4x5 work area.

Now, I can finally relate to this post. I can't believe how often this shit actually happens! Unfortunately, I don't really have an ergo-chair; they are both shitty. I spend all day farting in my cubicle to keep the retards at bay.
