Cube Navigating Retards

[pechelman]

Ok so sometimes it can be hard to find your way around an office building through the ratmaze of cubes, but Im lucky enough to be in a very open nicely and logically spaced cube area. All the aisles are parallel and continuous and dont dead end.

Everyone who works around me has been here at least a few years, in other words, they know the freaking layout.

My cube is right on the corner of two intersecting aisles as shown crudely below. Im the 'x' and the '|' is the interesceting aisle and the arrow indicates the normal flow of retards.

Now to the point of this thread.
Why the hell cant people figure out the my cube is not the aisle and stop turning into it as if it were?

This is not an uncommon occurance. Happens like 5 times a week.

Generally from the same people....wtf?

This happen to anyone else?
Anyway I can make it more clear that its not an aisle?
I mean im freaking sitting at a desk working on my computer in plain view from people traveling in that direction.

anyway whatever, people are idiots

maybe they just like you and want to say hi.

i work in a small office with around 50 ppl. we mostly have offices, there are maybe a dozen people in cubes. i have never worked anywhere with lots of cubes. but i had to go onsite to amex in slc to install some software. holy cube farms. if i hadn't been there with another guy from our company who used to work in a big office in minneapolis i would probably still be wandering around the amex building.

I once worked at a building that was circular (had a center courtyard) and all along the perimiter hallway there was a huge compass rose with the degrees ticked off. All of the cubes were numbered according to their floor + compass rose + individual cube number. FUCKING BRILLIANT. All you had to do was tell the number and even an idiot could locate your cube.

You should build a door.

I think you need to always keep a pie handy. Also, set up a mirror on your computer monitor so you can see what's coming up at any given time. That way, as they round the corner into your cube you can throw the pie in their face.

Everyone will have a good laugh, they'll say "Oh, what a crazy kid you are!"...stuff like that. And it'll never happen again. (unless they liked the pie)

You could of course simply beat them with a stick instead. Your call!

electric fence made from string of paper clips

maybe lay down some cable at your cube entrance

Offer them one of your used thongs.

Uuhhhmmmyeeahhh, we need to make space for some new staff members. So I'm gonna go ahead and have you move your desk down to the basement. That way we won't have this problem anymore.

Mmmkay? Grrrreat, thanks.

I did that one time last season when i was leaving straight from work to goto CB for a 3 day weekend. Didnt have my car outside to leave them in cause I carpooled. Then I got all the stupid questions and smart ass remarks.

Wow those are fat..
Going skiing for lunch?
Why do you have two pairs of skis?

[Orange Julius]

very important to not let the workers key in that you ski a lot. makes for difficult "sick days".

I just started a new job. My first day there I was sitting at my desk and realized I was in a fucking cubicle. It was a sad moment. I never thought that could happen to me.

Pechelman, you may want to take some advice from Bagtagley. In his case it ensured a visit, but it may have the opposite effects for you.
