Colleague leaves chair in the aisle - WIBU to hide it?

We sit in rows in an open plan office, every time the person behind me gets up they push their chair out and leave it in the aisle. They have been asked twice to push it under their desk when they get up but they don't.
WIBU to hide it when they're away from their desk??

Confused ?

Hide the chair.
Leave this note in its place....
Repeat until she gets the message

Are you me? This pisses me off so much, I'm constantly ranting about it at work but they still bloody do it Angry

PeppaIsMyHero · 10/02/2017 21:20

Possibly the most brilliant thread I've ever read. :)

llangennith · 10/02/2017 21:22

Love the idea of putting it in the lift😈

user1484394242 · 10/02/2017 21:24

For what, Bettercallsaul1?

Bettercallsaul1 · 10/02/2017 21:30

For understanding my attempt at humour!

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 10/02/2017 21:30

Oh please, do shout CHAIR, says my inner child ! 😂😂😂

Sara107 · 10/02/2017 21:33

Oh! I'm guilty of this (don't think I'm your colleague though, nobody has ever spoken to me about it!) But I do keep coming back to my chair and thinking oh dear! That's really in the middle of everything, must push it in next time.

Putting it in the lift is genius. Do that.

I work in a too small office with three of us and three chairs. We all like them at different heights, and are all very particular about this. We also all move around the office on our chairs and then get up abandoning said chairs in random locations to attend to something else. Then we end up sitting back down on the too low/too high chair and get tetchy. It's Chairmaggedon.

I am the same as others shouting random words at small children/adults big enough to know better

Normally DOOR, LIGHT, FLUSH, HANDS wash them you 'orrible child

But I love that, if you could also set your mobile to selfie record and have it propped against your screen and record this MNetters would be happy Grin

Follow them to the toilet with it so that when they open the door it's sat there waiting for them!

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 11/02/2017 07:02

This is brilliant! Grin

Loving this thread!!

MachineBee · 11/02/2017 16:35

We need an update.

Lostpangolin · 11/02/2017 16:43

Tip a glass of water evenly over the seat pad each time its left in the aisle.

TheColourIsZebra · 11/02/2017 16:46

Hang it from the ceiling.

coffeeandbubbles · 12/02/2017 17:40

As a health and safety manager I cannot and do not suggest rigging the chair up with a car air bag as per the film Bad Neighbours. But you know, fuck it. Some people deserve it.

cloudspotter · 12/02/2017 17:48

Crikey, do people really get so wound up about this sort of stuff? Human error?

(realising my name is probably mud in the office behind my back)
