Something that floored everyone and shook HR to their core.

Saw this as a tiktok and thought mumsnet would have stories galore!

Someone used up the last of the teabags on a Friday and said nothing. Monday morning was a disaster.

True story.

We had something similar with a jar of instant coffee.

Someone left the milk out on Friday.
That weren't good on Monday.
Don't print that daily mail.

There's enormous tension building over people leaving their dirty cups in the sink.

I once used my stapler to wedge the window open. It fell out and landed in the hedge and I had to order a new one. The new one was blue and I wanted red - very disappointing.

I knew some who was accused of ruining the country, but it wasn't her fault, she was surrounding by idiots and it was all their fault. She lost her job and sits at home now.

OMG, what did the police say?

When we had to start hot-desking I said I wanted a pencil case to keep my pens in. Found the perfect one in the stationery catalogue. Office manager said, we don't normally order rainbow pencil cases for grown adults but OK. I left the job years ago and you better believe I took my pencil case with me instead of leaving it for the next hot desker!

If only she would sit at home and shut up!

A long time ago.... Director of small company I worked in - man in his 40s - had an affair with a 17-year-old member of staff and left his family for her.

Someone kept using Scott's milk so he started writing his name on it in big letters with a red sharpie. Someone still kept using it. So now he's bought a mini fridge and keeps his milk in it in his office.

Grepes · 11/10/2024 09:07

Please don’t print in the Daily Mail as far too outing.

Someone at work is using the milk for their cereal when there is a sign that explicitly states milk is for tea and coffee only!

I don't mean to go all conspiracy, but we continuously run out of spoons. Where do they all go? Some say it's aliens, but my bet's on the marketing department.

Scribblydoo · 11/10/2024 09:16

We never have any forking forks... because I have them all in my desk drawer mwhaha!

Afriendwithbreastsandalltherest · 11/10/2024 09:28

There's a terrible kerfuffle about the heating at the moment and who wants it on and who wants the windows open.

Foxxo · 11/10/2024 09:30

We think the dog is secretly stealing the biscuits, no-one else is owning up but they keep disappearing.

It's either him, or mom (72) is forgetting she's snaffled one, or lying.

Shouncer · 11/10/2024 09:31

We’ve had the London shaggers, the Birmingham lunchtime wanker and the Manchester mystery shitter. I think the last one was not a well person tbf.

A group of people had a work party during Covid lockdown. They claim it wasn't a real party but I know it was as there was lots of alcohol and food. They tried to hide it by smuggling it in by suitcases.

Unfortunately the office is also the bosses home. He claims he didn't attend but was in the building as it is his home but I've seen a photo and he was definitely there.

A lady called Bridget is sleeping with a man called Daniel.

Dave came in to work with a small bottle of Orange Tropicana.

That is the juiciest workplace gossip for all eternity.

Rumour has it, he only bought the drink and not part of the Tesco meal deal, which means Dave ended up paying more than if he had opted to have a sandwich and some confectionary.

Someone in my house used to be a teaspoon thief, i suspect both my parents as we have an unusually eclectic mis-matched teaspoon collection that no-one is owning up to collecting, but nor can they remember where they came from.

This is the best office gossip I’ve seen lately.
