Deskbound office workers will recognise the situation. One person does something thoughtless, another over reacts. After that, things get totally out of hand. But what is an appropriate response to leaky personal stereo headphones (scissors?) or an overly loud telephone manner ("Shut your face!")?
How about, perhaps, a salvo from your very own USB Missile Launcher? Yours for £29.99 from i want ONE OF THOSE - though in our view, your turned-on bosses ought to buy them for you all, taking the company's ongoing HR initiative to the next level, incentivising you as part of its leveraged outreach.
Want to know more? Well, this is what the gadget site says:
The USB Missile Launcher
is the ultimate deterrent against those annoying people who lurk around
your desk because they've nothing better to do. The Launcher holds
three foam missiles, and Missile Command is located on your desktop
(which is a great deal more convenient than having it buried under
Cheyanne Mountain in Colorado - but that's Norad for you).
You simply use your mouse to control the launcher which rotates and tilts as you zero in on your victim, that, despite being deeply childish, is immensely satisfying. The Missile Launcher fires its three foam missiles sequentially as you hit the 'Fire' button, and though collateral damage is minimal, the fun factor is exceedingly high. We just love USB toys.
