This is a question IT Support

Our IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

I was testing a Girl in sales PC after putting it back together
You know how it gets in office desks, the cables go everywhere and are immpossible to plug back in even though you just removed them 5 minutes ago. She's Standing at the seat of her desk thanking me for doing this and she is sorry about the hassle. I'm sat in the footwell (is it a footwell in a desk? or just the leg well?) telling her it's no problem this is my job after all. Then her phone goes, it's a customer, I've just switched her computer back on. I hear "Just give me two seconds I just need to log on to check that for you" and she sits down. I am trapped under a desk with a mimsy blocking my escape. I have no idea where the hell to look, what is the etiquette in such a situation? Do I tap her on the leg to let me out, do I shout, or do I sit there quietly until she finishes her call and stare at her pink knickers?
Length? about 26 minutes.

What you do is this:
Call your colleague Roy to come up from the Basement and distract her.

(IT Crowd, no?)

It was the IT crowd
but was Roy under the desk calling Moss.

I hang my head in shame -

Ah but in the IT crowd the lass had no idea he was under there.
She was speaking to me about 30 seconds before she sat down.

Maybe...
She was well aware you had a view.

I've always ...
... regarded it as a perk of an otherwise (usually) dusty part of the job
