to steal from work <lighthearted>

I have lost my job. My last day is on Christmas eve. I have a new job for next year but on reduced income...

Would I be unreasonable to supplement my income by 'acquiring' a few of those industrial sized toilet rolls for my house... Just a couple would last me ages and make me laugh when I see them!

So mnjury... Should I?!

Yes you should.
Property is theft. Including bog roll.
Enjoy it comrade.

Hmm, thinking of the company every time you wipe your arse?

Go for it

SofaKing · 06/12/2013 14:47

Yup. You should also hit the stationery cupboard, lots of good stuff there.

If you don't want to take anything, swap the pens in the whiteboard marker box for those in the permanent marker box, and unpack and swap all the printer cartridges for different ones in different boxes.

If they have so little work you've been let go, think of how grateful they'll be to have to sort it all out, it'll keep them busy Grin.

When we were made redundant we may or may not have acquired a catering sized box of splenda, a set of step ladders, several packets of J cloths and 2 bundles of bog roll.

AmazingBouncingFerret · 06/12/2013 14:55

Every little helps.

NigellasLeftNostril · 06/12/2013 14:55

yes definitely and if you can get a soap dispenser and a loo roll holder too so much the better.

SupermansGirl · 06/12/2013 14:59

My last boss didnt tell us the salon was being taken over by a new pwner and we all lost our jobs. I left that day with a role of foil tint brushes colour and rollers. I felt so cheeky but all the other hairdressers were doing it and A lot worse.

MardyBra · 06/12/2013 15:00

How is theft lighthearted?

Sorry to hear about your job though Alpaca.

Theodorous · 06/12/2013 15:00

I was bullied for 3 years in my last job. I took everything I thought May come in useful and still use things daily and it makes me smile.

Ferret!Shock Wink

Theodorous · 06/12/2013 15:02

I a minute someone is going to declare themselves shocked and devastated that humans make light of such heinous behaviour. This won't end well.

May or may not...

AlpacaPicnic · 06/12/2013 15:06

Ooh - I was bracing myself for a flaming! I might actually do it now I've been egged on building my alibi

If someone were to do such a thing, someone might bring in a large bag full of cake and leave with a large bag of toilet paper... Hypothetically...

MardyBra · 06/12/2013 15:06

Oh ignore me. Yes I see that Kotinka.

As someone who runs a small business, I see it from another perspective.

Golddigger · 06/12/2013 15:07

No

Gruntfuttock · 06/12/2013 15:07

Well! I, for one, am shocked and devastated that humans make light of such heinous behaviour.

AlpacaPicnic · 06/12/2013 15:07

Thanks mardy - the sensible voice in a crowd of eager worklifters!

I also may be in the loos on my phone right now!!!

I'll come clean and add most of these things were being binned anyway.

The place was being gutted and closed.
