Either my coworker got one of those desktop fountains, or . . .

. . . She’s taking a multi-hour leak in her office next door.

I like homey touches as much as the next workerbee, but if I wanted to work to the tinkling sound of streaming water, I’d type in the bathroom. The continuous sound of someone piddling took less than three hours to get old. Plus it makes me want to go to the bathroom. Sigh. There’s nothing else for it. I have to wait until she goes home and unobtrusively break her little fountain.

That’s pretty pointless, but I just had to share.

Chill out.

Buy a whoopee cushion.

Have fun.

Instead of vandalizing her property, perhaps you could politely explain that it irritates you, and ask her to stop using it.

Throw a penny in it, and wish that it goes away…

FRIEDO –

But that’s so much less fun. I think I’ll hang it from her light fixture by its cord, and tape a suicide note to it that says “Goodbye Crewl World”. Or I could rig it to spit water at her when she’s sitting in her chair. Or add a tape so it sounds like gargling. garglegarglegargleSPIT!

P.S. While I may not be the best-known poster on the Boards, if you can find one post by me that would indicate that I would ever seriously contemplate vandalizing someone else’s property, I will mail you one hundred American dollars. Here’s hoping other posters are able to take the OP in the “isn’t this mildly annoying?” spirit in which it was posted.

Oh crap, I just brought in a desktop fountain for my workspace today! :eek:

At least make it interesting to look at. Get a bunch of red food coloring and a small clown doll with a toy knife sticking out its chest lying at the point where the water comes out and a note that says, “I couldn’t take it anymore.”

She’ll get the point.

I couldn’t believe my amazing good luck – I found one at a yard sale for only $2.00. When I got it home, set it up on my desk and plugged it in, it took me about 45 minutes to figure out why.

Godspeed, Jodi.

Maybe you could drown it out with a radio [Milton]at a reasonable volume[/MW]
