Three macrofarts of a developer you should avoid
Sometimes, you may wish other people worked from home
The Meatball Sub
The developer hasn’t left his desk all morning. It’s 10:00 a.m., and he just pulled out the same meatball sub you saw him bring in yesterday.
After lunch, he leans to one side and forces a cough. It’s happening. Take your break now. Head to another room and stay there as long as you can.

The Dairy Air
Where the hell did he get a milkshake? He’s been sitting there the entire time. Gross. Was it in his desk too? Not good. Tell your boss you’re not feeling well and that you’ll be working from home the rest of the day.
The Dead Raccoon
The big deadline is tomorrow. The developer is wearing the same outfit as the day before. The wrapper from his meatball sub still sits on his desk. There’s no indication he left the office — or even his chair — in the last 24 hours.
He puts a hand over his stomach, and a loud grumble fills the air. It’s the warning sign. Nothing good can come from this. Evacuate the office, call the exterminator, and consider relocating.
