Office “Just One More Thing” Mel: Officially Booked & Charged

Welcome to the Office Mugshot Collection – Series 1, where HR violations become collectable moments and workplace irritants finally face justice.

Today’s suspect?
The man responsible for extending meetings into eternity.
The destroyer of agendas.
The hand that should’ve been superglued to the table.

Ladies and gentlemen, meet Office “Just One More Thing” Mel.

“Mugshot of Office ‘Just One More Thing’ Mel, raising his hand in panic while holding a charge board accusing him of endlessly extending meetings.

The Crime: Weaponised Hand-Raising

Mel’s entire career is built around waiting until a meeting is seconds from ending, everyone is halfway out of their chairs, someone’s already closed their laptop — and then he strikes…

“Er… just one more thing?”

And with that single phrase, the nation groans.

Productivity plummets.
Tea goes cold.
People miss trains.
Someone in Finance cries.
Three employees hand in their notice.

This isn’t a contribution.
This is premeditated meeting sabotage.

  • Time of offence: 16:59 (of course)
  • Location: Conference Room B — the warm one with no windows
  • Victims: Whole department
  • Duration of hand-raising: 37 minutes
  • Motive: Unclear. Possibly attention. Possibly boredom. Possibly evil. Possible severe memory loss.

Mel maintains a facial expression of innocent enthusiasm.
Witnesses describe it as “infuriating,” “psychologically damaging,” and “the look of a man who does NOT respect home time.”

  • Asked a three-part question in a Zoom call that ended with “Sorry, you’re on mute, Mel”
  • Tried to revisit “action points” after they had already been actioned
  • Raised his hand during the Christmas party speech

At this point, the entire office recognises the shoulder movement before his hand goes up and collectively prepares for debrief trauma.


Mugshot Summary

Mel was apprehended at approximately 9:03 am after raising his hand during an informal chat in the kitchen.

His mugshot displays:

  • One panicked wave
  • One guilty expression
  • The unmistakable face of a man who knows what he did

Being a Complete Annoying Twat

A charge many feel is overdue.STATUS:
