you need steel toe boots everywhere in case someone rolls into your foot with an office chair

This made me chuckle. My second "proper" IT job when I was much younger, I was hired at a big-ass company. When they issued me a hardhat and back belt, I asked what they were for and I was told I had to wear them anytime I went under a desk, such as installing a PC or plugging in network cable, so on and such forth.

My job before that was working at a small ISP (this was in the mid 90s) I'd stand on a wheeled chair to move drop ceiling tiles from time to time because that was quicker than finding the ladder.

I didn't last long at the big-ass company. Hard hats for going under a desk? Sorry, not for me.
