Two office programmers trade petty pranks involving a paperweight, name tag, keyboard, and online profile, then argue over who started their cubicle war.
Show transcript0:01 Ever since our company started using Windward reports, programmers like myself have had way too much time on our hands. 0:07 Because we get so bored, Dirk and I kind of started pranking each other a little bit. 0:12 Oh, it was all in good humor at first, you know, harmless stuff like switching the decaf with the regular, dumb stuff like that. 0:19 But then Dirk took it to the next level. 0:24 Stop it. And the Cubicle War 2006 was spawned. 0:30 Oh, I started it? Really? July 12, 2006, I was just in my cubicle minding my own business. 0:37 Are you putting tape on the bottom of my paperweight? 0:40 I'm, I'm bored. Oh, sweet, is that your new name tag? 0:46 Yes, sir, it is. 0:47 Ah, can I see it? 0:50 Wow, that's awesome. That is just so awesome. 0:55 Ah, Dirk! 0:56 Yeah, well, well, Dirk seems to be forgetting July 11th, 2006, the day he decided to rebind my keyboard. 1:04 He switched the power key and the X button. Dirk! 1:09 That was a really long email, Dirk. 1:13 Dirk. 1:15 Dirk started a forum on Slashdot telling everyone that I was a Star Wars fan, which is not true. 1:22 He changed my avatar. 1:23 I did him a favor. His old avatar was a half-naked man. 1:28 It was a centaur. 1:30 Yeah. 1:32 Look, who started it is neither here nor there. Everything taken into account, I'd say the bulk of injustice has been done to me. 1:44 So, cubicle War 2006 seems kind of 1:47 Epic? 1:48 Tripeti. Do you see this war coming to an end anytime soon? 1:53 Look, I can stop it. 1:58 No, I don't see it coming to an end.
