Bloke and I at work having A Dispute over a fiver.
He believes that the fiver is mine, I believe that it is his.
Cue the Fiver War of 2017.

So far he has hidden the fiver between the keys of my keyboard, in my office trainers (kept under my desk) and tucked in the grid cover of my desk fan.

I have stuck it under his mouse (covering the sensor) and taped it HEAVILY with washi tape (brightly coloured masking tape) to his desk.

Fiver is currently on my desk.

I need HELP, please lovely Mumsnetters - I am very competitive in need of a win this week

What about inside his stapler - the bit you lift up to put the staples in or the rubber bit you get on the base?

CopperHandle · 07/09/2017 13:08

Planted the straw containing now tiny fiver under his keyboard.

Stapler is good choice but not sure he has one.
I have a lot of crap stuff on my desk (I'm Project Management so have loads of paperwork, binders etc etc whereas he's a Software Tester so he has his computer. Aaaand that's about it.

Hmm -

I had this with a parent at DD's school who gave me a lot of lifts. I used to hide tenners in his car!

One time, he forgot his wallet at an event and remembered our game...so he went hunting and found thirty quid! Grin

Add another £5 to it and buy a pile of poo

Put it in an envelope, and get your postroom/reception to call him down to sign for a recorded delivery?

CopperHandle · 07/09/2017 13:22

AndNoneForGretchenWieners (great username) unfortunately our office isn't big enough for a post room. Not sure the receptionist would play ball either, unfortunately.

Loving the poo idea.

MrsOverTheRoad - love that story!

Put it inside a big tub of water and place in the freezer. Place big ice cube or tub (on a tray) on his desk.

PoppyPopcorn · 07/09/2017 13:24

Just donate it to charity and be done with it.

Mummyoflittledragon · 07/09/2017 13:25

Does he have lunch at a particular place or canteen? Give them the money.

ffffhjdsgX · 07/09/2017 13:26

Break into his house and leave it on his pillow.

lougle · 07/09/2017 13:37

Keep the fiver and leave 5 £1 coins on his desk with a note on his desk, that thanks him for lending you the £5, which you are happy to return.

Mummyoflittledragon · 07/09/2017 13:38

Change it into 2ps and put one in his jacket pocket every day until the debt is repaid.

soupforbrains · 07/09/2017 13:42

oh Mummyoflittledragon that is deliciously evil :)

minisoksmakehardwork · 07/09/2017 13:43

Take apart a ball point pen and wrap it round the ink part before reassembling.

Tape it to the bottom of a drawer, right at the back.

What sort of junk does he have lying around or on his desk?

This is the sort of thing I miss about working in an office, the harmless fun to help the day go by.

blacksax · 07/09/2017 13:46

Cut it in half. Have half each Grin

Tape it to the inside of his tea mug. Always fun finding a suprise

HopefullyAnonymous · 07/09/2017 14:03

Shameless place mark! I love a romantic story!

Mummyoflittledragon · 07/09/2017 14:03

Leaving it on his pillow is like the modern version of the Milk Tray advert.

Mummyoflittledragon · 07/09/2017 14:05

Use it to buy a pack of condoms then ask for some assistance Grin
