My colleague has thrown my lunch in the bin

[DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT]

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.

Nothing will stop people using your stuff in an office. I bought one of those photo mugs, picture of my kids on it and "Housemum's mug" on it. Left it tucked behind all the other mugs. So no excuse not to realise it was someone's property. Would sometimes arrive in the morning to find it on the side with dregs of tea/soup/whatever on it. Someone borrowing my stuff wouldn't actually bother me if they cleaned and returned it. Sandwich chucking is just though (did she actually admit to it or am I just forgetting what I've read?)

Would love to show you a picture but this is going on 10 years ago now

You probably think we're out of order-
But really, it is time
To tell you to stop hogging the fridge
In the form of a catchy rhyme.

You see, by taking all of the space
You really are taking the mickey
And frankly, the storage of raw meat in here
Is likely to make someone quite sickly.

So please, allow us some space
To store our lunch time treats-
And also stop throwing our lunches away
(It sucks to have nothing to eat)!

Housemum our regular mickey-taker took the mug of our MD, which clearly says "THE BOSS" on it, and didn't get why we were all

Perhaps now that you've thrown something of hers away she might leave your stuff alone.

Or she might buy even more stuff to fill the fridge completely!

why,
I cry

can't you see
the pain

you cause me
with your cod

and sometimes gammon.
you feed

your family
whilst we starve

unable to eat
our hot sandwiches

Go to your nearest fishing tackle shop , buy a large quantity of live maggots, insert in fridge and leave the lid ajar. Job done.

Fridge is- full as an egg.

Unplug fridge, wheel it round to her desk and plug it in there. Remove her office chair and place a cushion on the top of her fridge. Leave a note saying, 'Seeing as how you think it's your fucking fridge, you're welcome to it. Your chair belongs to me now as I need somewhere extra to keep my handbag on as I don't like it being kept on the floor.'

Empty it all onto the sides.
Put a single post-it in the middle of the now empty fridge with NO on it.

Has FMFF stuffed it with her shopping again?

Time to make some space I think. Food for domestic use (ie not at work) should be the first to go.

You know how SMEG fridges have their name on them? Buy her name in letters from halfords and stick them on it.

Someone used all my butter once, i was with my toast ready to go, opened the pot and it was empty. Ive never been so enraged. So i filled the tub with abusive post it notes to the thief.

Just to clarify-you put your lunch in today & it stayed there?

I agree though that others should also be putting lunch in & taking shopping of hers out to make room if necessary.

And telling her that they have had to take her shopping out to put their work lunch in.

I also want to know how big her family is and/or how much they eat if they are going through a fridge full of groceries daily. What is it like on Friday if she has to stock up to get through the weekend?

I think there's four kids. Same amount roughly daily
She does not shop at the weekends she has told us all a million times. She's too busy.
My lunch stayed but it was shoved about (I covered it all in "FRAGILE" tape so if it did take a visit to the bin I would've happily eaten it anyway that or a scabby horse) because it would've take ages to open that baby up.

how about going to the supermarket across the road she keeps buying this shopping from, giving them her picture like an e-fit and telling them not to sell to this woman anymore because shes a menace to society with the goods she buys!!

Take the shelves out and hide them so she's got to pile everything in.

My packed lunch would consist of a brick wrapped in foil that I would smash the fuck out of her multi pack yoghurts that are hogging the fridge.

Nick something from the fridge and hide it.

Wait until she finds it missing and complains, then sneak it back in when she isn't looking. Then look inside the fridge and produce the missing item, whilst giving her a face as if she is going crazy.

Repeat, lots and lots.

Get at least one other staff member involved, so that she can't pin it on one person.

Sticky labels with 'This belongs to selfish cunt' on every item.

Can you not get everyone to give you a few quid and buy them all sandwiches, then insists that she removes her food from the communal fridge so you can put everyone else's lunches in there?

myshiny - top notch gaslighting

I'm just intrigued that she didn't see any need to sign her note on the fridge 5 pages ago (sorry a bit slow to catch up). She admitting she's a Fridge Nazi and doesn't care!

I have nothing at all to contribute to this thread as I work from home.
