    Desk sitters

    What is the issue with people who sit on your desk when they want to talk to you? Arse on your schema diagrams is one way to piss a man off.

    I have an incoming, I know he is going to do it.

    The people that get me are the ones that walk around the office with a headset whilst on the phone talking loudly.

        If it's a young + attractive lady, she can sit anywhere she wants on/around me

          The people that get me are the ones that insist on skyping me when they are sat 10 metres away and want to have a flipping conversation that necessitates typing half a book. Get off your arse and walk over to me then you lazy fqwit! I realise they often want the audit trail of what I have written in a skype conversation but ffs, if that's the case send me an email and I'll respond formally when it's more convenient for me.

            Got loads of those at the office in London. Then again it is the telesales hub.

              It's not just that, it's that the fact of being on the phone dispenses with any need to watch where they're walking.

              As for desk sitters, the French sit on your desk to talk to the person next to you. Optionally tilting your monitor (while you're working on it) so that they can balance their paperwork on it while they talk to them.

                  On a serious note.

                  You have a telesales hub in London? Just a thought but, isn't that an expensive way to do things?

                    there is an easy way to fix that.

                    Don't respond, or don't use messenger.
