When I worked for the Federal Government we had a cleaning woman who was very nice and always said good morning and we would exchange a few pleasantries. One day she noticed a computer next to my desk. We were getting new computers and the old ones were waiting to be picked up by IT. The cleaning lady asked me if she could have the computer for her daughter. At first I thought she was joking but she was serious. I told her that the computer didn't belong to me, it belonged to the government and if she tried to take it out of the building she would be taken away by the security staff. I think she didn't believe me because she was cold towards me afterwards.
