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??

I'm so sorry everyone, I didn't get chance to do anything on Friday but my colleague & I are currently plotting what to do tomorrow when the offence occurs.

Change her screensaver to well thought out messages of how annoying her chair neglect is

Get some cable ties and go to town

MadMags · 12/02/2017 19:53

Tie string to the chair and (carefully) to the back of her clothes...

TransvisionTramp · 12/02/2017 21:08

Just casually place marking. . .

LollipopViolet · 12/02/2017 21:50

Shout "CHAIR!!!!!" then throw it at him Grin

Also, I love the tale of Innocent's 4th floor stapler - made my inner child smile when I first saw it.

Catwaving · 12/02/2017 23:35

"Chairmageddon" - very good, love that

Please pleeeease as someone suggested, you've GOT to follow them to the loo and leave it outside their stall door

Catwaving · 12/02/2017 23:35

All this has almost made me hanker after office life again

livinginthefastlane · 12/02/2017 23:42

Shamelessly place marking Brew

HellonHeels · 13/02/2017 10:43

Popping in to see if there's been an update.

boo2410 · 13/02/2017 11:10

Another one dropping in (and placemarking) to see what skullduggery goes on in the office today. I too vote for shouting chair, in an open plan office this would be hilarious. Flowers

RedheadinCamelFlarge · 13/02/2017 14:44

Definitely shout CHAIR. It's entirely possible I have to do this to my husband on a more than weekly basis

Housemum · 13/02/2017 17:30

Just got in from working, hoping OP has a similar length journey to come on here and update!

Nquartz · 22/02/2017 08:35

The chair has been abandoned yet again so it has been moved & a note left on it

Bloody marvellous, wonder who the culprit is??? Keep us posted 😀

CaveMum · 22/02/2017 09:27

Hurrah for an update! Every time it is abandoned move it a few metres further away.

AristotlesTrousers · 22/02/2017 12:14

Nice work OP!

Aebj · 22/02/2017 12:25

Did the chair go for a trip in the lift also?

Proseccohoho · 22/02/2017 12:42

This thread has cheered me up no end! Keep us posted on chair's adventuresGrin

Nquartz · 22/02/2017 16:44

Despite the note, said chair was left in the aisle again so I'm going to work tomorrow armed with a bike lock Grin
Unfortunately no lifts in office, darn it!

Brilliant update!

YoureAllABunchOfBastards · 22/02/2017 17:17

Poor unloved chair

CoraPirbright · 22/02/2017 17:27

I'd wheel it into the boss' office. Every. Fucking. Time.

Then watch them blushing and stuttering every time they have to go and retrieve it. See how they like them apples.
