The game of Sellotrap (tm) is where stationery and boredom collide.
When a co-worker leaves their desk unattended, it is your job to set up a sticky spider's web of sellotape to ensnare your colleague upon their return. Ideally the web should be almost invisible to the naked eye, although a common way to make the sellotrap work is via distraction. The veteran sellotrap player may use tactics such as alluring screensavers or desktop backgrounds to divert the trapee's attention. WARNING - it is best to keep sellotraps above knee level (especially tripwire sellotraps) in order to avoid injury, death or unwanted lawsuits due to trippage.

Mr Butler: I say, there appears to be something stuck to the top of my balding pate!
Mr McDowall: What splendid fun, my sellotrap hijinks have worked a treat!
Ms Hobbs: You chaps had better get back to work lest your backsides meet my beating stick at speed.

Get the sellotrap mug.sellotape is a long sticky strip of material that you use to to attach things together such as paper, the end of your apple charger to make it not bend, and the mouths of your hostages. it is an extremely dangerous material, and it is not allowed to be used in most institutions. if they find out you've been using it they will stamp down on you, and they will punish you to ensure that the people don't gain any kind of power, as they want to keep you in your place so that they can keep theirs at the top. they want to stamp down on our freedom of creative expression, because they know, essentially, that we will expose them.
