At my previous office, the cubicle farm I was in was actually a large room with 2 glass doors, one at each end of the room.
However, we’d only bother to unlock one of the doors - the one on the left which is nearer the main department entrance. The other one on the right was perpetually locked.
Unfortunately, every now and then, some visitor would come and decide to enter from the locked door. They’d push the glass door, only to find it locked. Some morons had to push and pull and push and pull a few times before getting convinced that the door was locked. And every time the door was pushed (or pulled), it would cause a banging noise, disrupting our concentration.
One day I decided I had enough. I stuck a sign on the door.
Here’s a closer look:
It helped a lot.
But after that, every now and then, some moron would still come a visiting.
Oh dear, maybe they are illiterate…

Life is full of irritating people. I did something similar once when I was in Germany. There was this office secretary who liked to stuck notes on my desk written in German (I was not versed in it yet). The notes were instructions from my boss. I got so fed-up with using freetranslation.com that I began stucking notes on her desk in Mandarin… Magically, the notes I received later on were all in english…. victory… (^u^)v
