I had my share of Dilbert events back in my working days. Two of them arose from one of our corporate executives who paid a visit to our floor just after we relocated to a new building back in the early 1990s. First, he saw my hanging overcoat sticking out from a hook behind a partition in a small space in front of a window at the end of my cubicle. He demanded I either put it on the back of my chair (it was too long, the wheels would run over it) or put it in a coat closet way down the hall. I put it in the closet the rest of the day but then returned it to my cubicle the next day and used that spot for the 10 years we were in that building. I mean, why would some executive care where I hang up my damned coat?
This same executive also gave a coworker down the hall a hard time with the fact that the venetian blinds were raised to uneven levels in a long series of windows. He demanded they be set at the same level. My coworker the next day set them to ascending heights like a staircase. I don't know if the executive coat police-turned blinds police ever saw that.
