So a long time ago, back in 2007, I told the story of the man in my office who is partial to Grandma Rose Scented Room Spray. I can not point out enough how heinous this room spray is. And again, as a reminder, we work in a small office. WITH NO WINDOWS.
Awful.
Yesterday, it got to be too much (YES he still uses it. FREQUENTLY.), so I did something crazy. I went out and bought this man some Febreeze unscented room spray.
Ok. That’s not the crazy part. I waited until he went to lunch and then I snuck in his office, found the nasty Rose crap, STOLE IT, and replaced it with the Febreeze.
And I’ve never been one to leave well enough alone. So then I decided if I was going to kidnap the Rose Room Spray, I might as well take it to a whole new level.
I blindfolded the Room Spray, tied it up with rope and took photos. Which I then emailed this man (and BCC’d all the other nasally offended coworkers) from an anonymous email address: we.have.your.precious@gmail.com. No really. Try it.
We all had a good laugh. And no I didn’t give the Room Spray back. I foolishly left it out in the open on my bookshelf behind my desk.
Imagine my horror when I come into work this morning and see THIS:
The jerk stole it back! And replaced it with … some sad looking machine cleaner.
ARG. This war is NOT over.

Oh, this is so good. (Really, though? ROSE-scented spray? Is he INSANE?)
Hahaha! That’s too funny! I love office wars done right! What’s your next move? I’d stealthily empty out the Rose spray and refill it with Febreeze for a sneak attack.
OMG. I can’t believe you did that… but then, what was this guy thinking? Rose scented spray?
OHHHHHHH GOOD CALL.
All I am saying is:
It’s clear who the DESIGNER is in your company….Mr. Post-it hand scribble. LOL
AWESOME
AWESOME! :)
when the first word in the name of your favorite fragrance is “grandma,” you know you have a problem.
Hahah, this is too good!
