Friday Life Hack: If You Keep Folding Your Work-Issued Lenovo ThinkPad Backwards It Will Turn Off Forever

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you kept folding your fucking work-issued Lenovo ThinkPad backwards on itself until something transpired? Well, wonder no more.

If you keep at it, soon enough it'll snap in half and won't turn back on again.

It leaves you with two flat, rectangular objects that can now be frisbeed into the nearest bin. In fact, thanks to the somewhat modular nature of the ThinkPad, you can often take the battery out and tomahawk it into the nearest body of water, where all batteries should be disposed of.

After you do that, work will not be able to contact you until you go back in. While you're at it, you might as well throw your phone in the water right after the laptop battery.

That way, nobody will be able to annoy you unless they come over to your gaff and rap on the door. Which used to happen.

So give it a go, what's the worst that could happen? Years ago, I used to 'accidentally lose' my News UK Lenovo ThinkPads all the time, or I'd be 'robbed by bicycle gangs', but in reality, I was just snapping them in half and throwing them into Regent's Canal from Victory Bridge in Mile End. I deadset reckon you'd be able to get away with it at least once.

More to come.
