    Put tape under her mouse. I had a coworker do that to me last week and it was really annoying. That and playing metal music. My office mate listens to pop and easy listening. She hates my rock \m/ :smiley:

    Well, my coworker is an expert at that.

    1. Eat as loud as possible.
    2. Talk to yourself incessantly and whenever she/he asks you a question, become indignant and tell him/her that you weren't talking to them.
    3. When you do ask them a question and they ignore you because you talk to yourself all day long, get mad at them for ignoring you.

    Eat broccoli, fish, and Indian food at your desk as often as possible. Leave the container out on the counter as long as you can.

    Chew gum with your mouth open.
    If they drink coffee, switch their sugar with salt.
    Insist she starts calling you Ms. _____ instead of by your first name.
    Talk at a loud volume whenever you're on the phone.
    Hum the most annoying song you can think of, until she can't get it out of her head.
    Respond to everything she says with a question.
    Eat something that smells awful for lunch.
    Insist that all communication between you two be in written form, then replace all of her pens with empty/dried up ones.

    Yeah don't mess with the coffee, that's a good way to get a keyboard smacked to the side of your head.

    I once framed a co-worker I detested. His name was Blake, and I hated him, because he told racist Italian jokes about how all Italians are dishonest. It hurt my feelings!
    :s
    Our company supported Girl Scouts by selling cookies on their behalf from our front office. One day I phoned the den leader - a close friend [Beverly] - to let her know that we were out of stock and the money was ready for collection. "Yep, all the money is here — I counted it myself," I said.

    I then pocketed half the money, knowing that Blake was working the next day and would be the one to hand over the box. A few days later Beverly, who could hardly contain her disgust, told me what happened.
    BLAKE STOLE THE MONEY!

    I expressed my shock. My boss was horrified and fired Blake on the spot.
    MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
    o:)

    Please tell me you gave them the money after and explained to the woman you claim is a close friend that you also screwed over.

    Booby trap her office/work space with ketchup/taco bell sauce packets so that they explode if they get stepped on.
    Set her printer to make 100 copies.
    Set her printer to 200% darkness.
    If she ever has to do anything with numbers (i.e. math, counting etc) just keep singing 867-5309.

    I have a co-worker who has turned into a "negative-Nelly" and isolated me simply because I talk with another co-worker she doesn't like. This is the same person who invited me to her 50th birthday party and I supported when she started her on-line business venture.

    I know I shouldn't let this bother me but I am a "people pleaser" and take this almost as a rejection... anyhow I digress...

    One of the things this coworker does is sit in her cube in what we call "stealth mode" because she won't converse with us, she just listens to our conversations. Later she sends out emails, copying our boss, "clarifying the process" on the topics we discussed (sounds like a great team environment... right! LOL).

    Anyhow, I found the best way to annoy her is to talk loudly about the happiness going on in my life, my 90lb weight loss, the fact that 2 years later I maintained my weight loss (she predicted I would gain it all back like she did when she lost 60lbs) and the fact I am making 4x the return on a financial investment, an investment she had every opportunity to take and just didn't...

    Other than that, I type loudly on my keyboard (acrylic nails make a loud annoying sound), and play music at my desk...

    :)

    No, I spent it on lunch. What did you expect?

    So you stole from children to get someone fired. Admittedly he was an *kitten*, but why steal from children. Couldn't you come up with something a little less illegal that might just punish him and not the girl scouts?

    Maybe, but this was just too good. I got Blake fired and had money for Beverly and I to enjoy a fabulous lunch. And I left a generous tip!
    Lighten Up. :)
    The OP needs ideas...

    Sorry we will have to agree to disagree. As someone who has helped girl scouts with cookie selling in the past. I just don't think its a good joke to steal from them and use the money to go eat and have a good laugh about it. Yeah it got rid of him but it made you worse than he is.

    OK, I can live with this.
    Best of luck with your MFP goals!

    Those posts savor strongly of "sarcasm" :)
