How to Bother the Crap out of your IT Department

We have a guy here in our IT Department named Dave who everyone likes but makes fun of because - let's face it - it's funny to belittle people.

So it was Dave's birthday recently so I emailed him and cc'd a couple of people that we all go out with together wishing him a great day:


Of course, when you click on the link you get this:


To which he replied:


You're welcome, Dave.

You're welcome.

Then, like a week later, I was down in the cafeteria trying to get a Pop Tart out of the vending machine and the stupid thing wouldn't take my dollar.

This went on for a week with me going Pop Tart-less so I decided to take matters into my own hands and bother Dave about it.

Of course, I know perfectly well that IT has not an effing thing to do with a vending machine but I wanted to see what he'd do.










By the tone of this it sounds like Dave actually thinks I'm serious which, honestly, concerns me a bit because that means he thinks I'm dumber than he is.

*shudders*

Regardless, Dave handled it like a trooper.

Erik Estrada would be proud.

UPDATE:

I went back to the vending machine a few days later and by miracle of miracles IT TOOK MY DOLLAR.

So, Pop Tart in hand...I walked by our IT Department which is basically a room with a wall of windows.

Dave was sitting in there with 4 other guys and saw me walking up the stairs, at which point I pointed to my Pop Tart and mouthed "thank you" to him and gave him a thumbs-up.

He simply shook his head and turned back around.

And I wonder why my laptop is so damn slow.
