How to create work for yourself

My co-worker hasn’t been able to figure out how to raise her office chair. I sit in the chair, reach down, flipped the lever, seat rises up.
“Oh! This is perfect! Thank you!”

Two hours later, get an email - “Can you order me a foot rest?”

Her feet no longer touch the ground.

You start by lowering the chair all the way down every morning before the person comes in and do that for about week or so. Then you start raising it all the way for a week or so.

like in the drafting room, the drawing checkers use them. And then when they are not looking you swap the color out on their desk. (them come in colors). One day they're missing one and one day the color changes......
