    There are stickers for that. Also, creative swear words in multiple languages and a lack of pants.

      In my experience signs don’t get read.

      We even have a big red notice on our office door at work not to knock (we are IT, but not end-user support, there’s a whole team for that). Knocking/thumping/banging on the door is an almost daily occurrence when someone can’t work out how to unmute their Zoom meeting…

      Thankfully we have permission to tell them to take a hike but it’s still annoying!

        Yeah, I get it. The no knock signs are legally enforceable if you can be arsed following through. I just yell at the ones who claim we’re exempt from that. I don’t care! between the sticker and my FUCK OFF doormat intent is clear. if you bother me you’re getting a serve.

          Do you think HR would have an issue if I got one of those doormats for the office? :D We already decided against the electrified door handle…

            Write me a SOP and hazard assessment. Also remember that drinking liquid paper may offend the tea lady and photocopying your butt should be only done under a rug.

          I would like to imagine it’s the kind of tennis serve where you slam a ball towards them.

            Grand slam! Never played tennis in my life, but do have an electric flyswatter that looks like a racquet…
