Omar the Destroyer
A few years back the company I worked for had a particularly incompetent IT bod. He'd got bored working in a pizza shop, done a 2 week computer course and got made head of IT by his cousin who ran the company I worked for.

The first time I ever installed Microsoft office on a computer, I was really nervous because I had seen Omar do it and it had taken him nearly 5 hours and he ran into endless problems. I was pretty amazed when it took about half an hour and worked fine when I tried it. He couldn't walk past an unguarded pc without tinkering with (breaking) it.

I used to Omar-proof my computer if I thought I would be away from my desk for any amount of time. Omar-Proofing consisted of taking a screenshot of the desktop and setting that as the wallpaper then moving the taskbar to the top of the screen and setting it to autohide and hiding all the icons.

In this fashion, Omar could be guaranteed to just sit there, endlessly and fruitlessly trying to click on what was essentially just a picture of a computer until you got back.

whatever happened
to using a password?

All that seems a bit time-consuming just for Omar-protection.

And what if he's a B3tan?

We didn't use passwords back then
And I doubt he would understand b3ta. Either way, he doesn't work for the company I currently work for, so all is good.
