It's war friends. It is war. Let me brief you on the logistics:
In my officina de trabajo I have a tasty little garbage can. It sits and fits nicely underneath the right wing of my cornered desk. Access is granted with a simple reach of the right hand, quickly and effeciently discarding refuse in order to optimize my workflow. (Keep an eye out for my 5 Tips To Make Waste Disposal Quick And Easy In Every Broswer tutorial littered with Google Ads) Each and every morning I come into work, and I pleasantly find that my garbage has been evacuated. Normally a blissful event for any office employee, but not so for this camper.
My nemisis, the Janitor (not Brad Smith), finds it jocular to place the garbage can ever so slightly out of my 30" right arm span after he/she empties it. The resulting fiasco is a napkin from my morning bagel on the floor, inches short of the welcoming brim of my garbage can. I will not stand for this.
Today I fight back. Today, it's war. I have strategically placed the garbage can on the LEFT side of my cornered desk. Now not only will confusion and chaos consume my nemisis, but he/she will be forced to walk around previous mentioned right wing of my corned desk to located the reciptical. I can only grin in anticipation and say aloud in my head, "How's that working out for you Janitor-Person?".
Revenge tis so sweet.

I can't help but wonder if you're prematurely judging said Janitor's motives. I feel bad for him, to be honest. What if he's unable to return your garbage receptacle back to its original position because of a birth-defect or religious belief?

@Sean - Here are MF HQ, we discriminate against unperfect people. It's sad, I know. But it's not like I made the rules. That being said, this is intentional. A small game from the small mind of our Janitor friend.

Having read your logistical war strategy aloud to my fellow office comrades, it was suggested (after recovery from the laughter that ensued) that perhaps a more diplomatic approach would be appropriate. Say, a masking tape diagram of garbage can position on the floor?

@Sean - I might as wave a French flag. Nay, while your U.N.-ish resolution does sound noble, and would probably place me in the status of "the better man", I really just wanna keep saying to myself, "How's that working out for you?!" everytime I see my garbage can under the left wing of my cornered desk.

"The next day."
So ... how'd it do?
