What is the correct etiquette please?

You need not quote directly from Debretts.

If I weren't in the queue for the soggy salmonella sarnies left in Tescos- I'd write a longer OP. Angry

Our work fridge is sad, 18 cartons of semi skimmed all with different initials on.

We joke about people not being able to organise a piss up in a brewery - but it takes a certain something special for tea round in a local authority to be a challenge!

YonicTrowel · 04/05/2016 21:01

Wow!

WakeUpFast · 04/05/2016 21:01

Sorry haven't RTFT and only a few posts in...but isn't sushi technically raw meat too? Grin tut tut tut.

Ringadingdingdong22 · 04/05/2016 21:01

Oh I love stuff like this. There's always a fridge bitch or similar in every office. Militant about something utterly ridiculous. It grips my shit.

Blatantly place marking to see how this plays out.

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 04/05/2016 21:05

WakeupFast, no that would be sashimi Wink

The correct etiquette in this situation is to fashion yourself a handbag from her chops and innocently parade round the office with it.

SuffolkNWhat · 04/05/2016 21:08

Or go full Lady Gaga and make a mother-fucking meat dress

covertblackberry · 04/05/2016 21:11

You could remove all her food and replace it with some sex lube and a fish slice, that would fuck with her head

hidingwithwine · 04/05/2016 21:13

Some of these images are fucking with MY head but in a good way Grin

BYOSnowman · 04/05/2016 21:14

the issue in our office was people filling their water bottle up from the water dispenser and letting their bottle touch the spout.

This led to a very aggressive laminated note being put up which someone else then took the trouble to tear up and leave on the counter.

Passions ran high

We have a good dilbert cartoon on our fridge but I can't find it to link!

BYOSnowman · 04/05/2016 21:15

Could you stick Googly eyes on all her meat/fish?

You need to bin the key ingredient so when she gets home to make,say, spaghetti bolognese, she has neither mince or pasta

lydiarose · 04/05/2016 21:15

But if she's arguing "first come first served", and there was room for you to put in your sushi after she had put in her shopping, why was she then putting in something extra that necessitated her removing yours? Then she's not abiding to her own rule.
Great thread BTW.

Tiggeryoubastard · 04/05/2016 21:16

I like the handbag idea. Or channel Bradley Wiggins and wear her chops AS mutton chops. Look good AND piss her off. Win win.

MaddyHatter · 04/05/2016 21:19

you need to go to a craft store and buy a load of googly eyes. Then do this.

Our office got fed up having 30 odd cartons of milk and now provide it. We have moved onto many other things to be petty about... But there is one hard and fast rule, fridge gets emptied at 4.30pm on a Friday. Any milk left is first come first served if you want to take it home, the rest is history. We do have two giant American style double wide fridges between about 80 of us though!

cakesonatrain · 04/05/2016 21:23

Take in a kitchen blender be sure to get it PAT tested and whizz up all her food. It will take up considerably less room then.

AThousandTears · 04/05/2016 21:25

Or go full Lady Gaga and make a mother-fucking meat dress

Grin hilarious!

Baconyum · 04/05/2016 21:26

It's things like this make me glad I'm not working right now (rarely feel like that).

Just FYI cloudy apple juice looks remarkably like contaminated pee! If you go down the fridge full of samples route. Also loving the boiled eggs (only part boil so not even useful?).

But yes while fun to fantasise, I'd be taking it higher, it's theft, you've been left out of pocket and she owes you AND that's cause for immediate dismissal. Cheeky bitch!

cakesonatrain · 04/05/2016 21:26

Oh God I really want to googly-eye-ify the fridge. Or someone's desk.
I think the kids have some in the craft box.
Dare I?

allthebanananamesaretaken · 04/05/2016 21:30

Have to say have never experienced such drama in any office I've worked in.

EvansAndThePrince · 04/05/2016 21:31

This is glorious Grin

ImNotDancing · 04/05/2016 21:32

casually place marking so I can go to sleep

Reading this thread is strongly influencing wether or not I should return to nursing in a few months or stick to dog walking. So far, dog walking is working.

I once walked in to find an ignorant prick drinking from the large bottled water I bought earlier in the day, straight from the fucking bottle. When I asked him what the hell he thought he was doing, he got very indignant and told me to calm down, he was going to refill it with the rank tap water. He then went of to bitch to the rest if the staff about me being a silly bitch.

I used to buy the odd thing from a health shop near work and put some items in the fridge freezer, until home time. There was loads of room before I get accused of hogging the fridge. I walked into the lunch room to find a cheeky fucker sitting with a spoon, eating MY VEGAN ICECREAM directly from the tub. She just said, "I was really hot and knew you don't mind sharing." Smile. She was my senior so I just walked back out. I was on a low wage and this stuff is really fucking expensive.

I used to buy the patients and staff cheap fruit lollies during the summer as it was an old ward and got really hot. I was heading over to get something for later and was told by a staff member, "just buy the orange ones today, I don't like the pineapple". I decided I wouldn't give them so much as the smell of my fart from then on. Angry The confused looks when I arrived back, with just enough lollies I counted for the patients was a joy to behold.

The nicer you are the more you get screwed over. I've changed a lot due to the last couple of years, while I've been on unpaid leave, and I think I might well loose it if I went back to that shit now.

PovertyPain · 04/05/2016 21:37

Oops, I got slightly carried away there. Blush

There's place marking and then there's my place marking. BlushGrin
