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

Can you get an ocado delivery to work?

coffeeisnectar · 05/05/2016 13:13

Forget that, then note has gone, not the shopping

Can you do a new note?

Notice:

Yesterday my lunch was STOLEN from this fridge. This is not acceptable.
This morning a notice was put up noting this theft and now that notice has also been STOLEN.

If this continues then I shall be contacting Management about the ongoing theft and abuse of communal facilities.

This furthers my belief that murder can be totally acceptable, on occasion... We'll testify for you OP! Extenuating circumstances 'n' all!

"I don't understand why she can't use her lunch hour to do her shopping."

Why would you though when you can shop before work?

(I'm not condoning her being late or hogging the fridge btw)

DISCLAIMER

That notice was ripped down in 2.5 seconds it was just for banter with ITBitch-
I am not that rude Grin

This fridge is for lunch
every employees' lunch
not your shopping (insert single syllable adjective of choice).

RedToothBrush · 05/05/2016 13:21

CHICKEN!!!!!

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 05/05/2016 13:22

I would add a comment on the note in red pen. '0/10, worst haiku ever'.

My exact thoughts. Now type up nosquirrels poem in Arial or something non-offensive and stick it on the fridge.

Don't even bother throwing anything away. Just mess with her head a bit Grin

IAmBumblebee · 05/05/2016 13:22

OP, whatever happens please keep up updated... I'm dying to see how this plays out...

Knitwitty · 05/05/2016 13:22

Squirrels you are a bloody genius. Grin

TheUnsullied · 05/05/2016 13:22

Oof, bold move! Just get stabby with her things and pile them on top of each other, seriously. Then leave a note on the fridge saying it's a communal fridge and can people please refrain from filling the majority with their food shop for at home.

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 05/05/2016 13:23

Squirrels!

Squirells that is the best poem I have read in a very long time.

Use it OP

stealthsquiggle · 05/05/2016 13:24

I am so obviously place marking living vicariously through this thread. The things I miss out on by working from home or in large offices where no one has fixed desks and coffe and tea are provided. Maybe if I was in one place for any amount of time I would find that this sort of politics is going on, but if it is I am oblivious Sad

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 05/05/2016 13:25

I'm meant non-offensive type face.

Offensive message is fine so long as it's not sweary or breaches equality legislation.

zofranks · 05/05/2016 13:27

does she leave all her stuff in the fridge still in the carrier bags? If so I would cut the bottom of all of them, then cut open all the food packaging, place very carefully back on said shelves in said fridge & wait for the result when she leaves that day.

Bitch needs a good slapping really, print the communal fridge sign and get some invisible ink for your lunch box so that next time you put it in there it stains the hands of the knob that bins it - you know like the ink stuff bank robbers get stained with - surely Ryman must sell something like that?

ShebaShimmyShake · 05/05/2016 13:27

OP, you could perhaps put that same sign up and relace "greedy cunt" with the fridge hog's name, and "shit" with "lunch", and make the same point without forcing HR to do some work?

londonrach · 05/05/2016 13:29

Settles down with jacket potatoe. Op i have reported this to mnhq for classics!!!!

I love squirrel's poem

zofranks · 05/05/2016 13:34

nosquirrels the poem is pure genius

anyone know whats going on today? is everyone still alive/employed?

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 05/05/2016 13:34

Sometimes she doesn't unpack stuff if its smaller items but chickens/lambs/etc whole (joints I mean, I have never seen a whole lamb carcass) she will take out of the bag anything bulky and she will put raw stuff ON THE TOP SHELF- the minger.

I know I sound unhinged, she is deeply unplesant.(more so than I) I'm not going to buy a fridge, that would be giving in and she'd probably put her coat in that if I did anyway.

YES- she shops everyday. Perhaps she's one of these stockpilers who's not grasped the quick sell by dates on the Philadelphia cheese.

Clutterbugsmum · 05/05/2016 13:38

Perhaps it's time to move the fridge to on top of her desk as she insists it's for her use only, and a request to management for a new communal for everyone else to use in it's place.

Coffee, I nearly wet myself laughing at this!
