    Take my chair? I take your comfort. My boss was loved by everyone. She was given the opportunity for an early retirement and jumped on it. Her replacement (Art) was from another branch of the company, and he quickly replaced one of his direct reports with a guy (Denton) from his previous branch. He then named the Denton as his deputy in an unofficial capacity.

    Even though we were all equals, the new guy acted as if all of us worked for him now. He was an a h_le, and we all disliked him greatly, but he had immunity from everything because the boss loved him. He delegated everything, took credit for all that went well, and criticized all that didn't.

    I had an office chair that I had used for years; it was comfortable and I could move it easily in my cubicle between the bookshelves and my desk. Well, one day Denton appropriated it. When I protested, he responded by saying it belonged to the company not me, and since he had just been moved to an office from a lowly cubicle, it was necessary. Art did not want to be bothered with the dispute.

    I had replaced the chair castors a few months earlier. The new castors had a slightly longer pin inside the legs of the chair, and they raised it up about a half inch. I stayed late one night, went into his office, and replaced the front castors on his appropriated chair with two of the old ones. You couldn't tell by looking at the chair, but the seat was slightly higher in the back than the front. Denton was constantly twitching and having to slide back in his chair,

    because his bottom would slowly migrate toward the front. I told two other coworkers (who disliked Denton) what I had done, and every time one of us had to sit across his desk after being summoned to discuss something, we smiled inside seeing his discomfort, and then would report back to the others. I left the company about a year later, and would get the occasional call from the two who were still there about Denton's constant repositioning.

    olivia... Once a new company bought my hotel i worked at. My mangers moved to a different hotel to stay with the same company and asked me to come. I went along with them but before I left I took EVERYTHING that belonged to the previous company. Aka...I took two space heaters and an office chair. Lol. It was amazing

    Edit: I want to make it clear that my two managers ASKED me if I could grab the two space heaters for them and I agreed. I wasnt stealing since it belonged to our company anyway.

    KombuchaBot This is masterful. He would have got used to the initial comfort it offered and then for the rest of the time he used it he'd have been "this didn't use to be like this"

    xboxgamer2122 OP It was a old fashioned wooden chair that only rotated about 45 degrees in each direction, not a modern office chair. You could not spin it.
