I work in a blood lab, where you get your bloodwork done. It's fairly small, I'm the only person working there, average around fifty patients a day.Small back story bit... I used to have this big fabric wall thing that surrounded my desk with a glass window built into it, used for privacy. My boss decided it was ugly (it was), and unsanitary (it was), so we removed it from the lab leaving my desk exposed to everyone (I use a privacy screen on my computer now to ensure privacy.) 

Now my desk isn't very big, average sized L-shaped desk, most of it is taken up by my computer/printer/fax/office stuff so I don't have a lot of room to work, just a small square to the left of my keyboard. Since my desk is now open, no matter what I'm doing, no matter how cluttered that little area is, old ladies LOVED to just plop their giant purses and bags right on top of everything and PUSH EVERYTHING AWAY AND OFF MY DESK. Holy shit that just pissed me right off. Initially I just shrugged it off, but by the third or fourth day of ladies doing this over and over again I started to get a little pissed off. Come on, obviously I'm working, and do you really need to shove everything on the floor?

The petty revenge...Initially I tried to just put things in front of my desk so they wouldn't put their purse down (hand sanitizer, debit machine, pencil holder etc.), but that didn't stop them. So, I got a box of face masks (the ones used for people with coughs), and some packing tape and taped the shit of the bottom so it was stuck and I mean STUCK to my desk. I sat back and waited...Sure enough, when the old ladies tried to put their bag down and shove the box out of the way they couldn't move it. They would try to push the box away or lift it off but couldn't and would look around frustrated and annoyed that they couldn't plop their junk down where they wanted to and had to resort to sitting down in a chair and looking through their purse in their lap. Oh it felt good.
