Some guy at a company I used to work for had a sign, again presumably for cleaners. This sign said “Do not use these plug sockets”.

It took all my constraint not to unplug the cables plugged in and print an extra sign saying “Fixed”.

In reply to ThomasLaRock. But if the desk looks nice nothing else matters ;)

In reply to Ayman El-Ghazali. Yeah, not to mention allowing easy access for others to a machine that is critical.
