Issue with nosey permie

[Jog On]

Got a permie sitting behind me who is nothing to do with my project or even IT in any way.

Every time he gets up from his desk and walks past he stops and has a good long stare at my screen. I can actually feel him almost breathing down my neck and he makes no secret that he's doing it either. It's as if he's trying to keep me on my toes.

I don't know if he's trying to prove a point or he's just a tw@t but I'm tempted to turn around suddenly and 'accidentally' elbow him in the nuts.

What would you do in such a situation?

Buy a privacy screen.
Report him to HR for harrassment.

Smile politely and ask him if everything's Ok - does he need your assistance with something?

Agreed. And say that he touched your front bottom.

On reflection, this may be a better idea.

Yeah, ignore mine. This is the way to go.

Have a clearly visible message on the screen,

F**K OFF YOU NOSEY C**T!
YES YOU!

You could actually leave an official email open with a complaint to the HR department naming him with accusations of harassment, botty fondling and breathing sexily on the back of your neck.

That might frighten him off.

Or alternatively you could just lamp the hoon.

Sounds like date night material to me.

Pull your eyes out and blue-tac them to the back of your head. If no blu-tac, hang them on your ears, but make sure they're looking at him. Works a treat.
