‘You're not going to win this fight’: General manager demands employee give up their desk at “hot desking” office, employee books the space again out of spite
When an office decides to switch to a "hot desking" system, in which no one has their own desk at the office, and everyone has to book a workspace in advance, office disputes always tend to follow.

Employee gets even with coworker who "forgot" his wallet every day at lunch time, costing them $180+: 'I started tracking everything'
When you're out with a group and one person "forgets" their wallet, someone has to step in and help them. It's awkward if you're out with a big group of people and only one person can't dig into that big meal with everyone else. You can't just let a coworker sit there with no food and a growling stomach!
