Communication issues...
Discussion
The font of choice for 
s.
Ok, so I work as part of a small team, 6 of us. Most of us communicate verbally, apart from one tt who only ever emails, always in the most childish, ish, unprofessional font I know.
I've always suspected him to be a bit iffy, underhand, I know he also jumps sales from people and has no dispute resolution skills (smallest issue gets escalated to top management) this nearly cost me my job during my probation period.
Any ideas on how to deal with this tt?
Ps, appologies for any spelling and grammar issues. Posting from a phone.

it sounds like a number of people i work with.
just remember to keep all emails as if they insist on putting everything in an email one day if not allready he will stitch himself up and you will have the proof.
as hard as it is ignore the sod and just be careful what you say to him. give him enough rope and he will hang him self so to speak.

Take screenshot of desktop
Save as picture
Move all icons on the desktop to the folder you created, leaving that in the same place
Use the settings option to auto hide start bar
Set screenshot of desktop as desktop background
Many calls to tech support ensue
That, or set up firefox so it opens 2 tabs as home pages, set the first one to meatspin, and the second one as some sort of rickroll. This will result in an internet brower, moving round the screen, with both rick astleys never gonna give you up, and dead or alives you spin me right round, with a picture of a cock spinning round on the screen, which cannot be shut.
While workung at a big company in Cambridge some joker put a sticky on the office tit's desk saying "Justin. Tidy your desk. Regards, Tudor" Tudor being one of the top banana directors. 
It was quite amusing watching him franticly clean his stuff up.
(names havn't been changed to protect the tit. )

I'm sure I set the thread title to "Comic Sans" But yeah, a fail for sure!
Couldnt agree more, it positively makes my nuts ache when I see that font used anywhere, except perhaps a 10 year olds home work.
Just to add, I've had emails from clients in some god awful fonts and with w
ky backgrounds, typically they are CIO/CTO/Manager level bods too. The mind boggles...The only good use I've seen of a background image/stationary in email is when a chap I worked with years ago was trying to press home the point to the IT director that the software we were using was unlicenced, he sent the email with a background of jolly roger flags!

oh my god that sounds epic!Assuming he has a pc running windows: Upload some really nasty pron videos on to his computer. Use schedule tasks to set it up to automatically play the videos at set times of the day*. You can then arrange to witness him watching Debbie Does Donkey Dick and make his life hell by threatening to go to his boss or HR about it.
- Doing this depends on your companies IT environment. It may well not be possible as the machines may locked down to prevent such things.

t. He used the word boost about 20 times a day. Around the time I was ready to leave I changed auto correct settings on his pc to change the word boost to supercalufragilisticexpealidocious. Highly entertaining watching half the IT dept trying to keep a straight face whilst he proclaimed he had a virus.
