This post is trending because it taps into a universally relatable workplace annoyance: the violation of personal space and property by a colleague. Many Koreans are sharing similar frustrations, finding humor and solidarity in the shared experience of dealing with 'office villains.'
Workplace woes are a universal language, and this recent post on a popular Korean online community has everyone nodding in frustrated agreement. A user shared their ongoing dilemma: someone in their office keeps using their personal phone charger after they've left for the day, presumably a colleague working late. While a charger might seem like a small thing, the original poster (OP) emphasized that it's not just about the item itself being a 'consumable,' but the sheer discomfort and invasion of personal space that comes with someone repeatedly coming to their desk and using their belongings without permission. The post quickly went viral as Koreans chimed in with their own similar experiences and a flurry of advice, both practical and hilariously passive-aggressive.

If you want to stop them from using it, just take it home when you leave work.
Cable-tie it together with other wires, lol.
I thought of that too, but the outlet is under the desk, so it's too inconvenient ㅠ.
I hid it, but they just used another cable! It was a generic one that barely charges, but they probably just plugged it in without knowing.
Put a sign on it that says, 'Not responsible for damage due to overvoltage.'
I'm suddenly curious if all the awful colleagues in your posts are the same person, lol.
Wow? Is this a series? I wanted to check out other posts and realized I'd already read them all...
Even if it's inconvenient, if you remove the charger from your desk for a few days, won't the culprit get their own charger or something?
Right? If they just asked to use it beforehand, who would say no? It's really unpleasant. I guess I'll have to hide it or take it out. Thanks.
The world sure has a lot of weird villains.
