To think it is hilarious that my dog has eaten the boss's lunch

Firstly, my boss is an utter arse of a man. He is like a cross between Del Boy and Bernard Manning, except he is thin.

Secondly, anyone daft enough to leave a sausage and bacon baguette on their desk for the best part of an hour with a labrador around deserves all they get imo. Grin

Boss hasn't returned to find his lunch gone yet

He's a massive twat Keith!
Hope your dog enjoyed every last bite.

Gruntfuttock · 18/07/2015 13:37

ahbollocks you seriously think he's not entitled to any lunch?

Enchufla · 18/07/2015 13:38

You should have put the last 1/4 back on the desk neatly wrapped up...or sprinkled with as much tinfoil as you could salvage

StillStayingClassySanDiego · 18/07/2015 13:39

The way I've read this is that wanker boss disappeared to avoid the customer who cat was trying to placate outside, she can't be in two places at once.

Wanker knows the dog is on the premises so should have taken the food with him.

PoppyBlossom · 18/07/2015 13:39

Why Are you still there?

itsmeitscathy · 18/07/2015 13:40

hahaha, yes, it's funny. but I'd offer to buy him another even if he is an idiot.

NorbertDentressangle · 18/07/2015 13:46

There's no stopping a labrador when it comes to food. Keith could have built a barbed wire topped wall between the lab and the sausage and bacon baguette and he still would have got it in the end!

A labrador where I work ate one of the workmens packed lunches. He managed to somehow get to a different bit of the building, into the closed staff room, into the guys bag, chew his way through the Tupperware lunch box and eat the contents Shock.

CatthiefKeith · 18/07/2015 13:48

I will offer to replace it. I can't leave the entire place unmanned to go and get him one though. Perhaps I should phone the nice lady that runs the cafe, and see if she will make him one.

That would be the same nice lady that wanker boss caught out with the 'joke' scratchcard, when he left her believing she had won loads of money for FOUR FUCKING HOURS a week before Christmas last year.

In which case you ask her to make YOU a sandwich and don't mention his name to her.

CatMilkMan · 18/07/2015 13:55

CatThiefKeith I remember seeing you post about your boss before and I thought then it was inappropriate and rude to be talking about him the way you did.
If you showed me even a small amount of the hatred you seem to have for him I would fire you and you wouldn't be getting a reference.

BlinkAndMiss · 18/07/2015 13:55

I'd leave the wanker a note saying 'you snooze, you lose' . Then suggest he rings the nice lady himself :). He sounds like a tosser and whilst I'm not condoning damage to other people's property it's only a damn sandwich, I take it he knows the dog is there? So therefore should have kept it out of reach.

BoyFromTheBigBadCity · 18/07/2015 13:59

Maybe he doesn't like working with your dog every day? I wouldn't.

Gruntfuttock · 18/07/2015 13:59

The sandwich could surely have been put in a drawer if the office was going to be unattended. I fail to see why the boss should have to go without his lunch.

AnImpalaCalledBABY · 18/07/2015 14:11

From this thread it sounds like you and your boss are as bad as each other

bloodyteenagers · 18/07/2015 14:11

If the boss wasn't trying to avoid the customer, then the customer wouldn't have been outside needing
Placating my Cat.
Instead boss would have been at his desk eating the sandwich and cat would have been at hers. Or at worst boss would have been outside and cat would have been able to keep an eye on dog.
The point is, boss caused this himself.

BigStripeyBastard · 18/07/2015 14:25

There is no bloody cat in this scenario.

CatthiefKeith · 18/07/2015 14:35

Imperiab Blether you are so bloody reasonable! Ok, I was unreasonable, and I have ordered him another sandwich. And I didn't tell them it was for him.

CatMilkMan I agree completely, I am definitely inapropriate and rude about him. It makes me feel slightly better about all the people whose lives he enjoys making a misery on a regular basis. Fortunately I only have to work with him occassionally and my actual boss is lovely.

I have apologised. He was fine. He likes dogs, it is just women, fat people, poor people, anyone not of white British origin going back at least 4 generations and disabled people that he is an utter bastard to

CatthiefKeith · 18/07/2015 14:42

And incidentally CatMilkMan, if one of my staff had shown me that sort of hatred a few years ago, without good reason I probably would have fired them too.

However since I was pretty good at my job, and managed to go my whole career without making anyone cry, punching anyone, or pulling vile practical jokes on people that involved them having to tell their grandchildren that "actually sorry, no we wont be going to Disneyland after Christmas as it turns out nanny hasn't won 50k after all" I managed to dodge that particular bullet.

Blimey, loads of people take their dogs into work - and loads of bosses are quite happy to have their staff bring their dogs into work. I've worked in a couple of companies where 'staff' dogs were allowed. I loved it - even the smelly, ancient labrador Grin

Some of the PO are out in force this afternoon, aren't they Keith?

So, a labrador snaffled a sandwich. Keith is going to get another one for the boss. Fine. Boss is a well-known wankbadger. Some of us do see the funny side of this - fortunately!

CatthiefKeith · 18/07/2015 15:22

She is usually no trouble at all. She's now asleep under my desk. Possibly because she had a very large lunch.

Can't see your pic Keith - it's blank. Would love to see snaffling lab!

emotionsecho · 18/07/2015 15:34

I just knew by the title of this thread that it would be you CatthiefKiethGrin.

Bassetfeet · 18/07/2015 15:35

Oh Daisy,Daisy. Grin What will we do with you
You sure are crazy leaving the tin foil clue
You ate the bosses sandwich
A mixture far too doggy rich
But you still are sweet although a thief
An action you may well rue (sings) Wink

CatthiefKeith · 18/07/2015 15:38

I will try again

MrsTerryPratchett · 18/07/2015 15:39

Yes, he deserves to go without lunch. Karma, in the shape of a greedy dog, got him.

Scratchcard that, you wanker.
