Don’t do this.

Do not, under any circumstances, do the following:

  • Walk past your cow-orker’s computer while he’s on a bathroom break.
  • Notice that he’s using Excel 2007 to work on some spreadsheets.
  • Create a new spreadsheet.
  • Move to the extreme bottom-right cell (in Excel 2007 that’s row 1,048,576, column 16,384).
  • Enter a single space into that cell.
  • Save the file as the default template (click here for directions).
  • Quit and re-launch Excel.

Don’t ever, ever do that.

Because if you do that, every time your cow-orker creates a new spreadsheet and goes to print it, Excel will try to print 40 million pages. And that’s just not very nice.

  2. And here I thought I was a badass for hiding desktop icons.

  3. Fking WIN. I’ll be right back!
