ULPT Help-Messing with my cubicle at work
Posted by MrJonBrown@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 9 comments
Someone is ever so slightly moving things around after I leave work. My chair has been lowered, my plant has been put on the other side of my screen, ect. It’s been going on for weeks and it’s driving my nuts. I’ve tried getting a movement activated spy camera, but they either need access to the WiFi (which I can’t get) or going on repeat after it runs out of memory space. Any unethical recommendations of how I can’t get this to stop?

Ignore it and get a trail-cam that records video.

Trail cam hidden well so they don’t sabotage it. Under the desk where they can’t easily see it? Maybe on the floor against a wall so it gets a good view of their face, but is not where most people look?

It’s the cleaners, I would almost willing to guarantee it.
We had something like this happening and it ended up being the cleaners was bringing her kids into work and letting them run around. They decided to troll one desk in particular for whatever reason lol

Why can't you get access to the Wi-Fi?

Lol, my comment involving poison ivy was apparently too unethical. I had a bunch of safety stuff written out, but definitely don't do that because it's too unethical for reddit.

Identify the thing that grts moved the most that you absolutely are not going to accidentally touch. Get a Q-tip, a small empty container to hold it, and latex gloves. Find some poison ivy (or poison oak, poison sumac, stinging nettle, etc), you can look up how to identify it. Depending on how urban you are this may be difficult. Rub one side of that q tip (and maybe an extra) all over that thing, spinning it and all that jazz. Don't touch the poison ivy even with your gloves. Place Qtip in sealed container. Take container to work and (with gloves!) Rub it on the thing you identified (like your plant pot, maybe). NO LONGER TOUCH THAT THING FOR ANY REASON. Put Qtip(s) back in container and dispose of the entire container carefully.
If it works, you'll give your annoyer poison ivy. Maybe don't do this if you are like severely allergic because of obvious reasons.

Have you done anything that someone would have posted "what do I do to bug my co worker" on this very same sub?

Absolutely don't let on that it makes a whit of difference to you if you want it to stop. I don't think you should acknowledge that it's happening at all. Remove your personal belongings for the time being if you have any though or take them home every evening.
I experienced that in middle school. It's experience speaking.

If they know it is bothering you it will continue or escalate. Before you leave at the end of the day, move everything all around willy-nilly!! Stapler dangling off monitor, In box balanced on keyboard, etc. Once they know you think it is funny and dont effing care cuz it is not your stuff it is the companys, they will stop. It is no fun to screw with people that don't care.
