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.

When I was at university we had a frequent fridge thief. Anything and everything went missing or was "sampled". I fear the thief had a rude awakening though when they partook of my friend's live yogurt that she was administering internally to treat thrush. And yes, my friend did "double dip". We were impoverished students.

Arrange for everyone to be waiting outside as she arrives with a bag of shopping each. Then let the chaos comense!

I like the idea of slipping inappropriate items in to her shopping. A dildo? Some hardcore porn?

Your boss and colleagues are all out of order.

The only way this will get sorted is if you all stand together - if boss won't put and end to her crap, then you ALL take her stuff out to put YOUR lunches in there, he has to side with the majority.

This thread has made me laugh a lot, but it really isn't funny. It's stressful and miserable. Take time off with stress/get union or HR involved. Please, please sort her out. Apart from the laughs, it's actually making me feel ill by giving me flashbacks to the horror I used to work with.

She'd use the fridge like the freak you work with, too, but she was also a horrible bitch to work with. The final straw for me was when she threw my handbag out of our office, breaking most of the stuff in there. For no other reason than it was on my chair in "her" office - which we actually shared.

I went off sick until I found another job.

Good luck - stay strong(er than I did).

DC1 said to hide the fridge in a skip (amongst many other, increasingly ludicrous suggestions)

This fridge saga is becoming a big of a family affair.

Another person glad she now works from home. My own, lovely, clean, organised fridge and no wankers.
Just got a new contract which will mean being based far more in an office situation a couple of days a week. Love the work but just don't want to be arsed with some fucker who can't wash a coffee cup. Never mind a fucker who might steal my lunch. Bastards.

Oh don't waste the eggs. Think of the chickens.

Boil the eggs at work. Just shove them in mugs of boiled water for a few minutes.

Loved the sign I saw on a fridge door in an army barracks - "if it's in the fridge, it's fair game".

I've been hooked on this all day. Work from home most of the time but had to go into the office today which meant a 2 hr train journey (each way). I did download things on the iplayer to watch but read this instead. Kept bursting out laughing much the the annoyance of the dickhead businessman sat next to me.
Fridge wankers really boil my piss, glad I don't have to put up with their shit any more!
But do keep us posted OP this is the most excitement I have in my life
It's the gift that keeps giving for sure!

If anyone touched my food I would be apoplectic. I would be very loud and a tad aggressive. If management intervened I would tearfully explain that my low blood glucose made me irrational and then slur my speech and slump....lose consciousness.....mumble I need food, need to eat now...slump slump...

What is is about communal fridges that turn people in to complete idiots?

Makes me remember the vegan who refused to allow anyone to put any product containing animal products in the communal fridge. She would regularly police it during the day, don a pair of gloves, and put anything she thought might contain animal in the bin. Even a big plate of sandwiches ordered for a lunchtime meeting was thrown away. Everyone took their own chiller bags with a freezer brick in it just to avoid having their food dumped in the bin. I was actually told this on the first day and told to bring my own esky. I can't believe managers let people get away with holding a whole office of people to ransom.

Ok. Have tried to resist but am over-invested in this thread..... another vote for taking the fridge and hiding it somewhere shameless placemark

She's leaving raw meat in the fridge?

On a day you know your boss will be in, casually damage the packaging so that the raw juices drip.

Report her and get boss to inspect fridge

Don't take the plug out, take the fuse out!!! Then walk about with smug face for rest of day and hope she get salmonella

I'd have been tempted to put a lock on and give everyone but her the key, then have everybody deny all knowledge

Yes Space raw meat is left daily!

Glad you are enjoying it. I will report back on Monday. I feel pumped after reading all about these horrors you work with.

Ha @ Gofridge me funding page, brilliant.

A lot of women are scared of clowns!

A lot of women find reborn baby dolls disturbing!

Now imagine a reborn baby clown doll!

Now imagine unlocking the building and going into work into an empty building. The only noise being the sound of your shoes on the floor and the rustle of your shopping bags as you head towards the works fridge.

You bend down and open the door and as the cold air hits your face, you recoil in horror as there inside is a reborn clown!

Do you mean she unpacks packaged chicken and just leaves it bare and raw on the shelves? Why on earth would she do that? Has she no concept of hygiene and food contamination etc. She sounds totally off her rocker. I'm surprised she hasn't got ill yet doing that.

Monday!!! Do you not work Friday's? Can't you pop into work because you can't live without your favorite pen?

Tate- I am convulsing in a wee-wee piss puddle at that image! And at you mainly

This is an idea

I lived in a student house with a bunch of tossers once. One night they did something and thought that my drink was someone else's and put salt in it.

Obviously a salty drink/food/chicken breast is foul with much salt in it

I would take the fridge and keep moving it around the room, so everyday it's in a different place.

Or glue her stuff to the shelf

I would fund buying the OP a new fridge - all to herself. Would there be room to install a new fridge?
