IT: The baked monitor So this happened recently. Where I work most of the people that work there are office workers who are obese or morbidly obese. I'd love to say that the 20-25 age bracket are normal, but they fucking aren't. I could likely think of 10 people who are normal. As such I strap on a plastic smile, shut the fuck up, and do my job. I'd rather be a professional at work. So, recently I was called to an o-beast's filthy office (crumbs, stains, and it smelled) because a monitor is no longer working. It's always possible that a old monitor will die, but these were band new (bought in the last 6 months). The second I entered the office I noticed, beyond the mess, it was fucking hot. The o-beast had a fucking space heater on it's desk and it was pointed right at the O-beast's back and half the fucking monitor. The o-beast had killed the monitor by cooking it. Power supply was toasted and It was going to need and RMA. Likely the RMA will get kicked back due to damaged caused by the user.  So, I grabbed a older monitor, still in good condition just old, and set it up. I told the o-beast we did not have any new monitors and this would be temporary. The truth was the o-beast would not see a new monitor for at least 3 years. When I said this to the o-beast reee-ing ensued. It demanded that I get it a new monitor right now as the o-beast was important, no it wasn't, and needed the full screen to see everything. I strapped on a plastic smile so fake I would have got an Oscar and said I would look into it. Now being IT, I'm used to getting shit on for doing my job and I let it roll off my back as I have better things to do, but when I get a call from my boss, 15 minutes later, that this piece of shit was bitching that i wasn't doing my job oh it's game on. Now, I've learned to look the other way for users, but dimes would be dropped on O-beast. O-beast would later be told by my boss that it would not get a new monitor till the next replacement cycle due to the damage caused by the space heater, by Facilities that the space heater and the three daisy chained power strips would be removed as OSHA violations, and by HR that O-beast violated it's user agreement and the company safety standards with a formal write up being the result. If you guessed the O-beast would act like an adult and go back to work, you're wrong. Ree-ing that could be heard outside the conference room was had.  I did not see O-beast get perp walked out of the building, I would have to lock it's account and secure the harddrive, but I would not have to clean up the filthy office. All this shit due to being too cold because of how fat the O-beast was. More work for me, more work for my boss, more work for Facilities, more work for HR, and more work for O-beast's boss (cleaning the office and boxing personal property).  Again it is proven that being an o-beast affects others.
