A bill for a badly made teddy bear cake?

Designs for a badly made bread bin?

Used Always pad?

You know they really should be disposed of fairly quickly. They probably thought they were doing you a favour.

I want a cat's bum meowing pencil sharpener. Never seen them as an option on the stationery order, though.

The cat's eye (as used on roads) was invented in 1934 by Percy Shaw of Halifax, after he got the idea from watching a cat walking towards him.

He was a very productive and practical man: if the cat had been walking away from him, he would simply have been inspired to invent the tea towel holder instead.

If no one has said it yet then, classics please.

Was it a signed copy of Mein Kampf?

Was is a postcard of the Sistine Chapel you were prone to screaming at?

Cos if it was I would have torn it up and sent you a nasty text too.

That's a vicious thing to do. If you'd done that to me, I would have snapped.

And then farted.

How needy are you, that is the question?

Just crack on and tell all.

A novelty cuckoo-style clock that, on the hour, has a miniature Chico figure pop out of the little door and shout "Hey, Everybody....It's Chico Time!!" ?

Admit it - it was exactly that, wasn't it?

@WeBuiltThisBuffet

You’re just jealous of my karate prowess and Harry Potter T-shirt.

@LivingTheThighLife, I don't want to suggest that you're too invested in this thread....

Was it a petition to bring back harry and Meghan?

CatAndHisKit · 07/03/2020 01:16

CatAndHisKit · 07/03/2020 01:18

a book written by someone they can't stand?
but whatever it is, no, they should NOT have done it.

CatAndHisKit · 07/03/2020 01:18

OP if they’re so mean that they ripped up a personal possession of yours then binned it then texted you to gloat, I really don’t know why you’re protecting them on here. Out with it OP, what was it? We really want to judge them, we’re just not sure how much to judge them atm.

Loveisntblind · 07/03/2020 01:31

Was it a signed Justin Bieber photograph and your colleague is trying to save you from yourself?

PapayaCoconut · 07/03/2020 03:53

Was it a commemorative paper plate with Princess Diana?

BritWifeinUSA · 07/03/2020 04:12

A copy of the Daily Mail?

GiveHerHellFromUs · 07/03/2020 05:16

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

Hahaha your colleague is pretty savage if they were even ballsy enough to text you to tell you what they'd done!

I'm guessing if they text you, though, you're actually quite close and it's something that's been grating on them for a while.

Is it a pile of grated cheese?
