How can I get a coworker to stop walking through my office?
Posted December 7th, 2009 by admin 9 Comments »
We have 3 offices that pass through from one to the next. Each office has a door to the hallway. Yet my coworker insists on always walking through my office to get to the hall. Then when she comes back into the office she just about gets whiplash turning to look at my monitor. She’s been here forever and she trained me but she’s not a supervisor. It’s annoying even when I’m actually working and not just messing around online.
I don’t want to get confrontational as we have a good working relationship. Also, she’s not technically doing anything wrong so I can’t really complain to the boss. But dang, it’s really annoying to have someone literally looking over your shoulder every 5 minutes.
I’ve tried blocking the path through my office with chairs and boxes but she’d rather squeeze through my little traps to get the shortcut rather than endure the hall. Plus, if she trips over any of my traps then I’ll have to go take a pee test and that would be a bad thing.
What to do?
Some funny answers so far.
First, I’d have to take a pee test because my sloppiness (leaving boxes in the way) caused the accident.
Second, there is NO romantic stuff going on. I like my women to be not grandmothers and I prefer the gf I already have. But good idea otherwise
