    Overdressed?????

    Some jobsworth directed a complaint towards me at work today.... apparently I take take up up an entire run on the coat hangers at work
    It seems I wear 4 jackets on my bike:
    1. A fleece jacket for warmth
    2 An EDZ pertex liner to make it easy to slide my...
    3 ...leather jacket over the top for protection; and
    4. A wind and waterproof and reflective outer jacket.

    All of which get hung up along with the work jacket, trousers, shirt, and ties. All perfectly reasonable I thought and keeps me warm and safe. I did say I was happy to hang my wet, grubby, salty jacket and bike jeans next to their coat if they wanted space in my run.

    How very inconsiderate of you, use one hanger for two Jackets and let the Waterproofs hang on someone else's run, problem solved.

    Its not like there is a shortage space either. There's hangars / locker type things all over the place. In fact there is an unused hanger/locker not 6 feet from where the person who complained sits, but no, he wants to use the space I am using. I am with winxp on this.

    It's not a case of whether we can fix it or not - it's more a case of how fixed would you like it?

    If it was next to him I would suggest using that and let him suffer.

    Will he fit inside it in one piece? Six feet doesn't seem too far to drag someone

    Tell him you are awfully sorry and take him a gift as an olive branch.

    A Thousand peice Jigsaw would be a good gift as he's obviously got Fookall better to do.
