Re: What or who did he deem attractive?
This is not a quibble about who/whom but which/whom. The meaning of the sentence changes depending on which is used. Maybe obvious in this case, though one never knows, but not always so.
Re: What or who did he deem attractive?
A pedant? Reading the Register? Surely not.
Re: who / whom
Not used when speaking so much, I'll agree. But - like avoiding a split infinitive - ought (arguably) to be used in writing. Whom just identifies the object in the sentence, that's all. How complex is that?
Re: What or who did he deem attractive?
"Maybe it's time for pedants to get over the fact that the word "whom" is no longer part of the language."
Fackins' faith, puppy, thou might swive a duck for such pedantry!

Re: What or who did he deem attractive?
Is that even physically possible without killing the duck?
Horses are one thing, but ducks?
that's discrimination that is
Against people who think they're part cat, he was just making his territory.
My boss fancies me a LOT
judging from the way he shits on me.
Look at them yo-yos
Even more reason to quit IT. This is what years of dealing with users and QA does to a man.
Urine Bandit?
Ah, yes, he was "taking a piss". Odd phrase that, one does not take the urine, one rather ejects it from one's body, which would be giving would it not?

There a several theories as to the origin.
The wife, Tette Enorme, used to work at the head office of a large airline. Following similar reports of strange stains on chairs and the surrounding carpet they also had cameras installed. It turned out that one of the late night cleaners broke up the tedium of his shift by pleasuring himself while surfing for porn on the office computers.

"I cannot bring myself to upvote this."
Why not? Italian speaker? If so, I can't help it if my name means something rude in your native language. Some Finnish acquaintances have it pretty bad as well, since two popular Finnish forenames are pronounced the same way as American and Greek Cypriot slang words for the male reproductive organ.
Re: Um
No, just that I can't bring myself to upvote a post about a guy wanking in such circumstances.
Bastard Urinator From Hell?
it'll until the next BOfH, I guess
Neat trick ...
... turning himself into police. I thought that usually involved a not inconsiderable amount of training and some quizzes.
Turning himself in to police would be easier, of course.
Clever, but...
Teacher is marking you down for the double negative ;-)
Yeah, I'm doin' it again
That's what the IT department gets for hiring a Whiz Kid!
Should be interesting if he needs to be supplied with a reference!
Most sacked employees are dismissed for taking the p, not giving it....
Thank goodness
No one queried the funny tasting chocolate mousse.
Change as good as a rest
Well it makes a change from the usual management pissing contests.
What gets me is...
the length of time from the first report in October until the cameras where installed in February
Like I always say ...
... It's better to be pissed off than pissed on.
I guess that the mysterious freshly-squeezed apple juice in the office canteen won't be appearing anymore.
Employee Notice
A company I previously worked for posted a notice in the male washroom:
---
To all employees,
Please do not leave drinks in the washroom. A cup of liquid - which was later found to be apple juice - was left on one of the urinals.
---
I always wondered who had the unlucky task of determining what that liquid was.
While having this on one's resume might be an impediment in most circumstances, it might be a positive boon if one's future employer is also a practitioner of ritual territory marking. One suspect the gentleman in question would fit right in with the IT department of Thomas Kincaid galleries.
Hooray!
I agree that everyone should sit in cheap chairs, but this does not go far enough.
My own experience leads me to the conclusion that everyone should wear size 11.5 double-E shoes with a flat sole, 44 inch waist trousers and glasses that correct for astigmatism.
Because what's good for me is, as everyone here so clearly understands, good for everyone.
Re: Hooray!
44 inch trousers definitely bad for your health - try to get them under 40 inches.
According to police reports , the suspect admitted to Strottman, "I was doing inappropriate things I shouldn't be doing."
Like answering emails, offering support to colleagues, turning up on time and not taking a quick peek through that folder called "Holiday pics" you just created.
Re: Double insult
What does drinking Fosters and having sex in a canoe have in common?
They're both f*cking close to water.
...Sorry
This side of the Atlantic we are being forced in line with our continental bretheren.
We have to call it "Euronating"
Cat Like
Any cat caught peeing on my chair gets sent straightaway to the SPCA/RSPCA for disposal.
Maybe they should check for other cat like behaviours, leaving claw marks on the wooden desks and tread marks from dragging his bum on the carpet.
Hey wait a second...
..wasn't there an episode of the IT Crowd that was almost exactly like this?
Re: Re: "rubbish mate"
"Installation and training included"
Why would you need to be trained in how to sit in a chair? I learned that when I was six months old. Maybe I was some kind of chair-sitting prodigy and never knew it? Better put that on my CV quick -- "1981 - learned how to sit in chair, no further training required".
Re: "rubbish mate"
I think you were. Looking at my little 8 month old she can definately sit up but no way I'd leave her in a chair, her skills don't extend to not throwing herself off it y'see.
1981, lord I feel old now.
Dump
This could give a whole new meaning to the phrase "Taking a dump"! ;-)
Dave
At least it's am original idea!
What I want to know is... What was his success rate with these women whose chairs he pissed on?
(ok, teacher...
upon whose chairs he pissed)
Re: At least it's am original idea!
Well I'm no Brad Pitt myself but having followed the link to the original story I can't see him having much joy myself.
As for the $4,500 bill, I would assume that also includes the cost of cleaning the carpets around the soggy chairs, and if I was sitting in those chairs I'd want the desk disinfected too.
Cameras and IT...
What I'm wondering is if he worked in IT, how he didn't recognize the cameras were being put in because of his actions. Possibly someone else in management secretely installed the cameras to reduce the risk of the suspect finding out, but not knowing ahead of time who the suspect is, you risk tipping your hand too soon.

Sorry, I just can't read it as anything other than "The Wet Patch reported..."
