To teach New employees to lock their computers when we see one that's not locked with no one around we "PONY" them. We make the background image My Little Ponies and the rule is is you have to leave it there for a week no matter if you have an important meeting. It teaches them really fast...

Let me work there, and that'll backfire so badly...

 

Good method though :)

I'd just leave my computer unlocked all the time then. Or I'd already have an MLP background, so I guess you would just change it to dickbutt or something.

oh we have that punishment. If you get caught more than once we set the background as the person who did it work headshot. So they get to see your face knowing they messed up

My dad is always freaking out about hitting the data cap on our internet, and refuses to get a faster speed for the fear we would use the data too quickly. And then takes his computer into work to download things. Anybody else know a person that complains about how slow something is and is totally oblivious to the fact that they are causing it?

What would make you have to have MLP something? What would even be changed? Your PFP if you write penis in big orange letters?

There are so many paranoid people out there with tech, that believe that getting an account on something will result in me losing my house, social security number, and other things. And personally, my parents always pick the cheapest option on things, such as a 32" TV and really slow internet (the only thing they spend big money on that is tech related is actually computers) and then complain about all of the problems with it.

That would make sense I guess. Doubt that would happen tho.
