Yes I know its a little thing and I will get the same old people calling me petty / entitled.

But this guy at work brushes/knocks my chair every time he walks by, its begining to really annoy me. Can't think of any polite way to ask him not to without embarrassing both of us.

Ambu?

Print out a 'Fragile' label and stick it on the back of your chair, or one which says 'if you can read this - you're about to walk into the back of my chair so get out of the bloody way!' and let him work it out...

Try "Woa there matey, walk AROUND the chair, not THROUGH it" with a Grin

Oops, sorry, did I sit in your way?

Did the pixies move my desk overnight?

Human has it! It's all in the humour! But also what your post makes me think is that your chair is in the wrong place...also is it possible to move it out of the path a bit? More forward? I'm guilty of having mine too far out from my desk...DH often moans it takes up more space than it needs to.

If this guy is a big one then he's just maybe not got space to get past.

This bugs me so much! My desk (open plan office) backs onto the post area, when the post is being sorted there isn't enough room to walk through, people still try though! Am now 7 months pregnant so taking up a tad more room and I may throw the next person to shove me into my desk down the fricking stairs!

Ooo I feel better now! Sorry OP for the hijack and good luck!
