Don't mess with your IT professional. You will seriously regret it.

The Game of Thrones season seven finale aired Sunday evening, and, like any episode of the hit HBO show, people who weren't around to watch it were desperate to avoid any spoilers.

Well, one IT dude has (appropriately) threatened his coworkers with a dangerous scenario, should they ruin the end of the season for him.

CARD ID: 256392, CARD TYPE: Imgur

"I HAVE NOT SEEN THE FINALE OF G.O.T!!!" a note reads -- notice it's hung around his neck using a lightning cable. "SO HELP ME GOD IF YOU RUIN IT FOR ME I WILL MAKE YOUR COMPUTER RUN SLOWER THAN A 1997 COMPAQ WITH A 56K MODEM!!"

Ouch.

Here's hoping for everyone's sake that nobody told this tech-savvy Game of Thrones fan what happened last night.
