Phantom of the Opera

A novel written in 1911 by Gaston Leroux, not in the mid 1980s by Andrew Lloyd Webber.

"I love the Phantom of the Opera 2004 movie based off of Andrew Lloyd Webber's story."
"You crazy phangirl, the Phantom of the Opera was written like 100 years ago!!"

desk phantom

A worker who is usually exempt and working project hours which can be any time during the day or evening. They often live at their desk, have minifridges and coffee makers there. They disappear often during the day without being noticed and come back to work late hours. Their job is very solitary and they are so seldom seen that seeing them is like seeing a phantom.

The opposite of a desk phantom is a desk mannequin who is usually more visible, and more customer facing.

We just saw John coming in at 2 with coffee and his van was in the parking lot all last night. We think he's working on the bank acquisition code but you'll have to ask Francine his boss about that. The guy is a real desk phantom.

"NASCAR threw a phantom caution for last nights race in Richmond."

Phantom Asshole

The overweight closet muncher in the family
who typically raids the refrigerator and pantry of all the good food late at night, in top secrecy. They are best
known for not leaving a trace of thier presence
and will almost always return an empty
box to the shelf instead of putting it in the trash.

Hey Chris, who ate all the fried
chicken, I don't know Jim. Must have been the phantom asshole.

phantom facebooking

Checking email to view Facebook updates rather than signing in, because you want the gratification of seeing what's happening but don't want to admit your Facebook addiction to yourself or the world at large.

He had already visited Facebook five times that day, so he phantom facebooked instead.

-I'm just checking work emails. Oh lawl, look who wants to be my sister on Facebook...
-Seems to me like you're phantom facebooking!

PHantom Logger

An unknown person who leaves large turds in the toilet; so large that they cannot be flushed unless broken up with a stick. These turds resemble logs.

Someone keeps doing bloody great poos in the loo at work. Everytime someone goes in there, there it is, floating, like a bloody log, and it won't go down. We haven't found out who the culprit is yet. We call him the Phantom Logger.
