At work today, I sit next to King Doofus.

I know not what he is doing sitting next to me, but apparently he's a manager, which explains why the majority of his telephone conversations are littered with penis-speak. The c***-breathed waz actually seems to believe some of what he is speaking.

So what else makes him a doofus?

A) He turned the radio down.
B) He had to ask how to slide the top of the desk forward to find the power supply.
C) He has two chairs, one for himself, one for with plastic bag.

I recognise the bloke as one who wandered into our office the other day, and wouldn't speak after I made eye contact with him. If he had a question, that was the time to ask it. He then asked one of the IT people why his laptop wouldn't work. Here's the situation:

King Doofus had a laptop with a card in it near to where he plugged in his network connection.

King Doofus had his laptop stolen, probably due to some doofus-heavy actions.
King Doofus' new laptop doesn't have a card like the other, and he cannot connect to the internet.

Does anyone see the problem yet?

Even after reaching this point in fault analysis he had to ask "So what do I do then?"

His voice is annoying too.

I like to have the desk next to me free, or at least not populated by a doofus.

MoJo has the best plan ever. You would need to muck about with the start bar and size and the like, but it would work a treat. :)

Hit printscreen on his PC to get a shot of his desktop, save it and set it as his background. Then delete all his icons. He'll spend half an hour trying to figure out why he can't click on anything.

Get some superglue and stick his laptop together when it's closed and see how he deals with it.

Man, you should've seen some of the people I worked with. Fair enough some people had little or no experience with computers, but others were just plain dumb. Luckily, the people in my team only asked me questions of which the answers weren't too obvious, but I heard some classics coming from the other desks.

Thick people are funny. Working with thick people isn't.

Go in early tomorrow and put plastic bags on the free table beside you before he get there.

Then when he asks to move them say "Sorry, thats where my bags go, they always go there but have been off sick for a while"

Then ignore him in hope he will go elsewhere.

:-P
