[ale] OT: Deluxe office accommodations for the paranoid

[Jim Kinney]

If the desk chair is vinyl, rub it well with a piece of fur or wool (duh -
same thing!) to build a nice static charge. Now toss on a small handful of
the tiny foam bead from a beanbag chair.

place a piece of clear tape over the door lock and trim it to be invisible
fit. watch while victim tries to insert key.

clear tape over the phone pick up switch (the part that lifts when you pick
up the receiver) then call them. a lot. works well for the office.

If the victim uses a corded headset often at their desk, a paper clip can
make it shorter that they are expecting.

skip all of the above and buy a case of these while they are still legal:

As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to
consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they
please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.
