When I first started (and even to this day), I would leave my laptop on my desk when I left. He was outraged and would constantly remind me that I should be locking it up or taking it home because he knew somebody who had his laptop stolen from his car and he had to pay for it. I would say, "it's fine." he would reply, "okay, i'm just trying to warn you because if something happens, you are responsible for it." SHUT UP!! I don't care!
He also likes to ask me stupid questions while I am working and clearly trying to avoid him, as evidenced by my headphones and obvious lack of interest. I used to use the inner ear headphones, but I could still hear him. I've recently upgraded to the entire-ear-coverage headphones...sadly they don't deter his pointless rhetoric.
Another un-perk of sharing an office with somebody is that on a daily basis I am serenaded by his after-lunch gastrointestinal issues resulting from his appreciation of caffeinated beverages and shitty junk food. yay me.
Enjoy. I sure don't.
