Bottle of Lynx Africa?

As you won't say what it is I have to assume the worst and vote YABU.

ScottishStottie · 06/03/2020 21:56

Because you are the type of person to post this stupid cryptic post on mn, im glad your stuff got thrown away. I hope it was really sentimental as well.

Next on my list, find tiny plastic trolls and a signed photograph of Adrian Harrop

TheMemoryLingers · 06/03/2020 22:27

Sellers everywhere will be wondering why there's a sudden run on those cat's bum meowing pencil sharpeners they've been trying to shift for two years ..

Artemisia48 · 06/03/2020 22:38

i know! Now wondering if I can justify that impulse buy Reaction, surely questionable at so many levels 😁
Thinking of posting on AIBU “I want to order a cats bum meowing pencil sharpener and display it on my desk,AIBU?”

Loveisntblind · 06/03/2020 22:39

I'm betting it was colleagues husbands phone number on the back of a business card with his face on. Grin

TheMemoryLingers · 06/03/2020 22:41

We'll all know who the fellow Mumsnetters are when we go back to the office on Monday - the cat's bum meowing pencil sharpener on the desk will be like a secret handshake Grin.

Bella2020 · 06/03/2020 22:49

Feom what you say, OP, your colleague has done the wrong thing. If you don't feel able to challenge him or her on it, then you need to speak to your line manager. Messing about with people's desks is an office no-no.

The cats bum pencil sharpener is almost sold out on Amazon

Is your name Gareth? Might it be reincarnated in a jelly?

AllTheIceCream · 06/03/2020 23:00

Wait! I have a better question!

What message do you think your colleague was trying to send you by binning your unspecified item?

PointlessAddict · 06/03/2020 23:12

Was it a sticky jelly baby covered in fluff?

LivingTheThighLife · 06/03/2020 23:23

Nipple tassels?

Patsypie · 06/03/2020 23:33

Are you ok hun?

Worrier2020 · 06/03/2020 23:35

Well, was it a postcard then? Was it...sticky? 🤨

Worrier2020 · 06/03/2020 23:36

Well, toilet roll is currently in short supply so...

LivingTheThighLife · 06/03/2020 23:39

Cheesy cock ring?

WildflowerChild · 06/03/2020 23:41

To whoever said this is the crappest thread ever then they need to get in the bin. I bet it’s given most people a laugh.

It’s got nothing to do with clear desk policy - we do not have this.

It was done deliberately, ripped up and then a text to tell me that’s what they’d done.
