PC possession
There is currently a really irritating man using my pc at work (I'm in the directors office as he isn't here today).
He is a one finger typer, didn't know what firefox was, and is talking to me like I'm 2  He is inputting data into a new fangled data-base which was made out to be super complicated - it isn't. It is 90% bloody drop down boxes and that is it. He thinks it'll take "a few hours if not more" to get it all put in - I think I could do it in an hour tops. But it is really grating on my nerves that he is at my pc and my desk. He keeps moving things and has left a coffee mark already (until I virtually threw a coaster at him) Is anyone else as anal as this?  I'm I just a tad too possessive of my work space/equipment?

Yup.
Thats why at my desk where I used to work I'd locked down the USB ports, had a funky ergonomic keyboard that no else could use and a trackball. No-one liked using my desk - so they didn't.

I know what you mean hun.
Although I don't have this problem at work as we don't have desks. Leaving coffee stains on someone else's desk/table is just rude.

Wait until he goes on his lunch then strike! Finish the job and tell him to naff off home. I don't have a desk but if i did i'm 110% i would feel the same way.

I feel the same Tak.
I hate when people are on my desk - they always leave it a mess and move things around. I have it set up exactly how I like it so I'm at my most effecient.
