I would hate it if my work colleagues knew I collected stamps. :D :D

I don't collect, collect them. I bought a pack of mixed used stamps a few years ago to do an art project and then realised how amazing they were. So I occassionally browse for unusual/nice ones in ebay and the like. I don't know anything about them but my little stamp albums make me happy. :D :D

That I think alot of them are crap at their jobs

AudacityOfHope · 05/10/2019 19:05

That I think they're all nice but thick; the conversation rarely moves past the level of Harry Potter/Love Island/Pokemon.

I'm beginning to think I might overshsare at work, I can't think of anything Blush

TomHagenMakesMyBosomTremble · 05/10/2019 19:24

They know I was suggested for my role (hired emergency temp and made perm) but not that I used to sleep with the colleague who suggested me!

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 05/10/2019 19:29

That I've had a coke habit for the past 6 and a half years. I think I'm finally getting to the light at the end of the tunnel though.

NCBabyBoy · 05/10/2019 19:34

That the only reason I am not leaving yet is because we want another baby. I am planning on staying just long enough not to have to pay back the enhanced maternity and then leaving. Bonus points if this leaves them in the lurch, should have shown me some appreciation!

On my last day of work in one job I had loads of paperwork that I should have dealt with but didn’t know what to do with. It went in the shredder.

In another job I deleted the director’s Outlook calendar and her inbox. She was a bitch and deserved it.

YeOldeTrout · 05/10/2019 20:15

lol @ knix in staff microwave.

omg, 90% of my female colleagues have dyed hair. The weird ones (like me) might not. It's not a private thing, imho.

Mine is...
I keep drinking the milk at work. Milk nominally only for tea & coffee. There's too much & it will go to waste.

There Used to be too little milk & there was paranoia about people having cereal. So now corporate buy too much milk. Situation is absurd. I don't want an argument. Just someone track what milk we actually need? Until then I will drink it for breakfast to stop waste.

aintnutinchanged · 05/10/2019 20:26

I wore vibrating pants to work and the boss banged into me nudging the switch to full vibration😂😂😂

Unluckyinlove2019 · 05/10/2019 20:38

OMG some of these! 

@chocafrolic... snap! I was a hardcore racer back in the day and lived the high life at the time shall we say haha. I'm in a good job now and think my colleagues would be shocked beyond belief to learn that about me!

AmyFl · 05/10/2019 20:47

That I have a friend with benefits. I act VERY straight laced at work, my colleagues assume I'm innocent. They tell rude jokes and assume that I don't understand, when in reality I do things that would blow their minds.

SylvanianFrenemies · 05/10/2019 20:50

That the reason I sometimes eat work at my desk is that I can't be bothered to listen to everyone drone on about calories, and I want to leave early. I'm not a workaholic.

SylvanianFrenemies · 05/10/2019 20:50

work = lunch!

Ginqueen20 · 05/10/2019 20:55

All the following id happily volunteer but I’m not brave enough Grin... they are all crap at their jobs, the place is unorganised, I can’t wait to find a new job, I think they’re brain dead lazy idiots (can you tell I hate my job) Blush

Teenagemaw · 05/10/2019 20:56

Ginqueen20 · 05/10/2019 20:57

Also that I have to take kalms as I walk through the door just to survive the day with them GrinBlush

thebear1 · 05/10/2019 20:58

That I think I am overpaid.

cortex10 · 05/10/2019 20:58

That I have a BIG birthday on Monday and will be in the office as usual as if it's a normal day.

sammylady37 · 05/10/2019 20:58

That I’ve shagged one of our colleagues

That despite being the boss at work and having all the authority and responsibility I actually adore being submissive sexually and really like being spanked by a dominant gentleman

Oldraver · 05/10/2019 21:00

That I lost a good 7 years of my youth at raves and living a nocturnal life with all that that entails. I’m very respectable no

This was me...until Friday when I blew my cover. Someone mentioned a piece of music and was surprised I knew what she was on about.

Cue me blathering on about the alternative version etc while their eyes grew wider at the thought of a 54 raver in their midst

I look so un-raver like Grin

Oldraver · 05/10/2019 21:01

54 year old

Uptheshard · 05/10/2019 21:01

That I used to be a swinger...

That the office is filthy ...

Boohooyouho · 05/10/2019 21:03

That I had a fling with one of our bosses. It was a long time ago, before we both moved to work at this location but he’s an utter twat and everyone hates him. It he was sooo good in bed.
