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

OP whilst that fridge is empty get in there with labels and tape off an accurate division of fridge per employee - name the divisions and be sure to fill em up with tasty treats for everyone else but her. Label said treats and call it fridge friday - another employee's turn next week.

Create an account for her on camelcamelcamel with alerts to Amazon deals on different fridges so she gets tons of emails notifying her.

coffeeisnectar · 05/05/2016 18:45

I'm not sure if it's physically possible but could you shove her IN the fridge with her shopping tomorrow (remove the shopping if need be) and then padlock the fridge shut and leave her there all weekend?

It's just a thought. I'll leave it there.

RedToothBrush · 05/05/2016 18:46

You NEED to fill the fridge after she leaves.

Sephipops · 05/05/2016 18:47

Is it bad that I want it to be tomorrow already so I can get the next instalment?

Totally not Placemarking

Can we have a photo of the inside of the fridge?!

RedToothBrush · 05/05/2016 19:04

Yes tomorrow we need FridgeCam

Photos of the inside of the fridge during the course of the day.

We want the front line photos of FridgeWar.

(plus you can use this in evidence against her with The Management)

cakeycakeface · 05/05/2016 19:08

What winning said. But you could ask management to buy one of these for each person sharing the fridge, label them, then issue an instruction that no one can remove or use any except their own.

I'm a bit late to the googly eyes party, but my colleague once left some tangerines, or possibly clementines, on her desk. For fucking ages. I couldn't resist. She said she definitely couldn't eat them now they had faces! Grin

Disclaimer: she is a good mate, so no offence or office angst was caused!

Could everyone else bring in a Tupperware box of lunch on Monday for Tuesday? Keep them in your desks until she leaves on Monday, then fill up the fridge with them. Couldn't be anything likely to go off, but cheese sandwiches should be ok, along with some fruit, crisps etc. Then no one person is to blame, and the fridge is being used for it's rightful purpose. If (when) she empties it on the Tuesday morning she'll have the whole lot of you to answer to.

WhatchaMaCalllit · 05/05/2016 19:40

Time that is a genius idea! Simple yet very effective. not placemarking at all at all

JessieMcJessie · 05/05/2016 19:45

But none of her responses explain why she considered throwing away your food was reasonable, only that she doesn't think it's unreasonable to store loads of her own stuff in there. Why not just ask her directly if she threw it away and ask her to explain why?

normie01 · 05/05/2016 19:48

I wonder, just s thought really, would it be possible to get her near the fridge and whilst discussing it appropriately and asking her to examine the shelving space available ram her in it hard, get your heel in and really cram her in, shut the door, (at this point it would be wise to add tape for extra secure closing), pop it onto a nearby transport trolley and then simply drop it into the nearest sink hole? I only suggest this because I would have lost my mind with enraged irritation, touch my lunch? go on; go on I dare you! ooh so NYANBU.

winningticketholder · 05/05/2016 19:52

She binned the sushi because she is a dick, either that or another colleague threw the sushi out because they thought she is a dick and needed the shopping fridge hogging sorted pronto. Tinder box plus sushi spark. Very clever IMO.

hidingwithwine · 05/05/2016 19:53

Just sellotape the fridge door seal shut once she's got tomorrow's shopping in it Then you'll have to get a nice new bigger fridge.

PhoenixReisling · 05/05/2016 19:54

Borrow the fridge for the evening!

hidingwithwine · 05/05/2016 19:54

Not sellotape -Superglue AngryGrin

tiredvommachine · 05/05/2016 19:56

I was seven months pregnant and fancied a Cornish pasty so my DH bought me one (we work together).

Approximately 5 hours later I went to get it out of the work fridge but some fucker had eaten it.

I was fucking fuming.
Nobody owned up to it (I was hangry and full of hormones).

I'm a police officer.
Everyone else at work were also police officers.

Bastards.

I have another idea - all chip in for a very spoilable large cream cake for head honcho like area manager or MD (special occasion optional) must be kept in fridge. Bet it doesn't get moved for shopping then and if it does then maybe she will get reprimanded or fired?

Skittlesss · 05/05/2016 20:01

Just need to check - you're absolutely sure it isn't her fridge and it's for you all? She hasn't just brought one in? Her behaviour is very odd!!!

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 05/05/2016 20:02

Nobody can be arsed to do it because they're all scared of her. It'd be too aggressive they would say- everyone just silently seeths and drinks warm milk

Yes I asked if she knew why my lunch was in the bin "no idea"
