a packet of crisps without sucking each finger loudly after each crisp?

Girl opposite me in work is vile.

Anyone have any suggestions how I can tell her to STFU without offending?

Say something subtle like, "Do you suck your husband's cock that loudly?"

I have no idea but I feel your pain OP

motherofmonster · 27/10/2014 15:49

Aarrggghhh hate people than do this...i used to sit opposite someone who picked all the bits of crisp out her teeth with a paperclip Shock

MildDrPepperAddiction · 27/10/2014 15:50

Grin Worra!

TheLostPelvicFloorOfPoosh · 27/10/2014 15:52

May I second Worra's excellent suggestion?

cherrybombxo · 27/10/2014 15:53

Hahaha Worra Grin

3LeetleKeettens · 27/10/2014 15:53

It's disgusting, the girl has no manners at all. I dread lunchtimes.

This is ridiculous

haha worra!

OP - does she "drink" the crumbs out of the bag too?

lick yoghurt lids?

if so, i'd take it up with HR.

DoughnutSelfie · 27/10/2014 15:55

Perhaps ask line manager for a no eating at your desk policy?

Disclaimer: not worked in an office for oooh twenty years so don't know really if this is possible

3LeetleKeettens · 27/10/2014 15:57

Lick yoghurt lids? No, she uses them as a spoon..

Worra made me LOL!
And oh dear mother I use a paper clip as well.
I do cover my mouth while doing it though.
I hope it's not me you are talking about there. Hmm

blondiewoowoo1 · 27/10/2014 15:59

Depends how brave you are but next time she does it, say loudly " ooh that goes right through me" and hope she takes the hint

curlyweasel · 27/10/2014 16:00

oh my. she sounds gorgeous.

i imagine that if her manners are so revolting, she's not going to take kindly to you saying anything to her about it at all.

motherofmonster · 27/10/2014 16:00

Then its not you hellsbells, she used to do it while talking to meGrin

Andrewofgg · 27/10/2014 16:02

Worra What if she says Of course, don't you?

motherofmonster · 27/10/2014 16:02

Or perhaps just something like " oh are they nice those crisps? You certainly sound like your enjoying them" and then offer her a wet wipe for her hands? See if she takes a hint

WorraLiberty · 27/10/2014 16:03

Worra What if she says Of course, don't you?

I'd point out that I've never met her husband! Shock

Someone in our office asked for a ban on eating at desks because the guy opposite him used to eat really loudly with his mouth open and spray spit over the people at adjacent desks. So it can be done.

The guy who made the complaint used to eat cheese and onion crisp sandwiches every single day at his desk so he was just as bloody bad! I don't know how I got through two pregnancies sitting beside that stench.

blackcoffeeplease · 27/10/2014 16:11

Every time she does it cough loudly. Or sneeze. Or hum. She might think you're mental but she'll get the point.

motherofmonster · 27/10/2014 16:17

Or point out that the average mouth has the same amount of germs in it as their arsehole and you wouldn't wipe that on your keyboard......... I have no idea if it is true or not but it might be amusing to watch her choke on her golden wonders Grin

PoirotsMalevolentMoustache · 27/10/2014 16:59

Worra Grin Grin Grin That made me chuckle out loud.

Andrewofgg · 27/10/2014 17:01

Worra Me too. You have cheered me up on the first dark evening in the office!

magimedi · 27/10/2014 17:03

Worra - you crack me up!

WienerDiva · 27/10/2014 17:11

Grin I'm tickled pink Worra!

Notmeagain1 · 27/10/2014 17:11

Worra OMG, you made my day.
