My boss tries to open every file -- regardless of what type of file it is (i.e., PowerPoint, jpg, PDF) through the "Open" menu of Word.
And y'all are on Macs too, arent you?
ETA: omnis, I wouldn't want to use a water gun (nearly typed "shot gun." Thanks brain!) across all the electronics that are on that side of the desk, and I don't really have any rubber bands. I just can't work out why he'll wander in here, stand against the wall and stare out of my sliver of a window when his desk sits in front of a giant one with the same view.
I do, but everybody's key opens everybody's door, so they just unlock it and walk right in
what kind of low class social retard is this? People lock their doors for a reason, asshole!!
I had a friend who had an older officemate who would just open any closed door and walk into the office (I think that he was mad that he didn't have an office and all of these younger people who outranked him did). So, she heard him coming one day, so she hiked up her skirt and fiddled with her pantyhose, so he seemingly walked in on a private moment. She shrieked, he jumped back and slammed the door. He knocked on her door every time after that.

Actually, only 3 of us -- those who do layout/design -- are. Everyone else, including boss, is on a craptastic PC. She has Vista, and all the problems she's encountered thus far are actually comical. One time, it prompted Chatty!co-worker and I to launch into an impromptu "I'm a Mac/I'm a PC" routine.

Tom, ::snerk::!
I bet they don't have those kind of computer problems there.
Now he just came by to bitch because the dude he was talking with in my office walked right back into his without an appointment.
I'm sorry he just left, but you didn't have a problem with him when y'all were monopolizing my lunch time so suck it.
stephL is me. yes... we have those too. I caught my boss opening/trying to open up image files using Word once. it's the little things...
but my group is the lone isle of Macs in a PC-lovin' nation.
I do, but everybody's key opens everybody's door, so they just unlock it and walk right in. (I don't know why I'm saying "they" there's really only one who does this. He's the same one who will just come and stand by my office window).
Are you willing for him to see you with your shirt off?
It would only last about half a second before he hurtled himself out of the room backwards and never. fucking. let. himself. in. again.
