Today I brought in a largish tin of biccies for our section (you know, the Family Favourites use-the-empty-tub-as-a-MP's-second-home size). There are currently 6 of us in the section.

I made a brew and took 2 biccies.

Colleague (moany one who was difficult when we were trying to book Xmas meal out) says in a pointed voice 'those biscuits are for everyone you know'

I gave her the Paddington Iklboo hard stare for a minute and said in a nice measured voice 'yes I know, there's plenty for everyone'

She says 'Well, I'm just saying'

Other colleague: 'Iklboo did bring them in'

Moany colleague: 'I know, but we should share them'

FFS - 2 biccies out of about 100???

AIBU to be a bit irked?

Shocking. She has no say on how many biscuits you consume unless:
a) she brought them in; or
b) she is your MD/dietician and is watching your biscuit intake.

I always get comments as I am usually the first to start eating biscuits etc., whenever people bring stuff in. This is because everyone else is too shy/polite to start it off. If it wasn't for me, I swear, there would be rotting cakes and biscuits all over the office because nobody else was willing to kick off the eating.

What a sad sad woman she really is!

Lick them, all of them!

TheTerribleSpider · 05/11/2009 15:54

ha ha ha Wayne Kai, that's what I would have wanted to do

it shouldn't matter if she thinks you're a greedy fat cow, you paid for them!
tell her to fuck off and buy her own.

she should definitely not get any

(and i'm sooo glad this isn't a troll! )

And I bet they were the thick smothered choclate ones, the ones everyone goes for as first pic. You selfish cow.

she sounds mental!

Ah office biscuit politics.

It's days like this that make me miss work.

Luckily, the other 364 days make me glad I'm a SAHM

Ahh we have someone at our work that would eat all the biscuits, it got to the point where we decided we would buy our own and keep them hidden away. Funniest thing is where some of us would be surrepticiously (sp?) whispering to each other the fact that we had a fresh packet of M&S extra-chocolatey and would sneak away to share them. It was like being back at school and sneaking behind the chapel for a crafty cigarette!

Jacksmama · 05/11/2009 19:18

You're kidding - you bought them and she gave you shit for taking two???

What a complete moo.
She sounds barmy.

Vivia · 05/11/2009 19:56

Lick them all, honey!

Joking, honest...

Vivia · 05/11/2009 19:56

Oops, didn't read the whole thread.

Definitely, I second the licking suggestions!
