Something fascinating caught my eye in an online discussion today about a mysterious meeting room booking that’s been haunting an office for years. The story hits close to home, reminding me of similar workplace mysteries I’ve encountered during my two decades in tech.

Picture this: a premium meeting room, booked every last Wednesday of the month, with no organizer listed, no meeting title, just a ghostly block in the calendar that’s persisted since 2019. The original booker, a mysterious “Steve W,” has long since departed the company, leaving behind nothing but this recurring calendar entry and a cryptic warning note when someone dared to cancel it.
