Construction was proceeding on the roof above us, to fix perpetual leaks (including flooding a machine room). Halfway through the day, a small metal i-beam burst through the ceiling, and one ended landed square in the middle of someone's chair. Luckily they were home that day.
There's always the "Network Closet is right through the lady's bathroom" saga, but that's not mine.
A friend of mine had a coworker he called "Muttering Lad", for obvious reasons.
My current cube is located *in* a conference room, effectively. At the morning stand-ups for the team doing Agile development, I am an unwilling participant. Obviously this can be taken to extremes.
In a previous office I removed a cube wall to get more space/light (before even seeing Office Space); management *freaked* until I demonstrated I could reattach it at will. (It's two screws!)
In some of our conference rooms, the only whiteboards are *behind* the projector screens. This is...not useful.
And of course, the assistant IT guy at my past job is now a successful Ultimate Fighter...
