At my last place...
There was a phone shortage, and I ended up with a "spare" phone handset (keypad on the actual handset), so I put it on new starters desk (and wrapped the end of the cord around the desk leg). Was quite amusing watching them fiddle with it trying to get it to work...


At my new job, there's a strict policy of locking your computer when away from your desk (brilliant! I always got moaned at for doing that at my last place). Anyway, one of the team leaders (Liverpudilian) wandered off without locking his desktop. Now with the security settings on these PCs, you can't actually get into the "Display" menu, but you can right-click, set as wallpaper. So I set up his desktop with a giant Everton badge and spent the next 10 minutes watching him try to get rid of it :)


EDIT: Turns out you can't use the little pointy brackety things in these posts (Shift + .)
