Workplace Torture – Attacked by Canned Air

Workplace Torture – Attacked by Canned Air

canned_air.jpgWho knew that liquified difluoroethane, trifluoroethane, or tetrafluoroethane would create an at-work nightmare.  In laymans terms, I’m talking about canned air.  And the co-worker directly next to me is obsessed with it.

10am – Pssss

2pm – Psssssss

4pm – Psssssssss

Come on, lady! You’re not a computer technician, photographer, or stereo enthusiast.  And your keyboard can’t be dirty, can it?  

Are you an addict?

Gas dusters are one of the many inhalants that can be abused.  In fact, some office supply stores will ask for your ID to make sure you are 18 years or older.

The sad part is, my salary suffers because of the Air Addicts’ habit.  Cans sell for about two bucks a pop.  At the rate she’s going, that’s a big-ticket item!

Here are a few canned air fun facts:

– The canisters release zero moisture
– 99% of brands are "ozone safe"
– Canned air is banned from airplanes
– You can get frostbite from spraying it on yourself
– It can help remove car dents
– The particles you "blow" away will just resettle

What a brilliant product.  What a nightmare at my office.  Maybe my co-worker has lost  too many brain cells to know she is as irritating as a cubicle gnat.  By the way, if you’re looking to kill gnats that are flying around your office, check out our Gnat Killer recipe.
