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

Is this the best thread ever? (Apologies for placemarking)

DailyMailAreAFuckingJoke · 06/05/2016 07:52

I am shamelessly invested in this now.

Take the bitch down. You owe it to Mumsnet.

libertygirl · 06/05/2016 07:57

As a family we are clearly over invested in this thread. Hubby just came down to breakfast and one of the first things he asked was what the latest was with SushiWoman and FridgeBitch! Lol

Not placemarking. Honest.

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 06/05/2016 07:59

That's a bloody expensive potato - I'm sure it could be done for less than that!! Shock

LOVE the glitterbomb idea. You could hide it under your lunch, so that when she moves your lunch (as she inevitably will) the glitter bomb will go off all over her and her shopping - OR, OR... it might be SOMEONE ELSE!! But you'd know because of the glitter!
And yes yes yes to the hidden nanny-cam. You used to be able to get polar bear fridge fresheners, maybe you could get ITBitch to bastardise one of those and hide a nanny cam in it?

Thank you fluffywuffyunicorn

I have issues with my things being touched by others. My daughter has a boyfriend and he stays over and is here a lot. I have hidden some of my things rather than ask him not to touch, which would make me look like a weirdo and embarrass my daughter! I also would be pissed off if he ate something I was looking forward to! Grin

He is lovely, I really like him but because of my OCD, I do have some strange ways!

I haven't found the item you showed us a picture of but I found this

A present at her desk.

Buy a clipboard. Stick a mirror tile to the front of the board.

Place a piece of A4 thin card over the front and held under the clip part so that the card obscures the mirror.

Write on the card, LIFT FLAP TO SEE WHAT A SELFISH CUNT LOOKS LIKE.

Robert Dyas has the fridge lockabox in an assortment of transparent colours!

Cheaper than John Lewis!

I think I'd ask HR to provide a second fridge because the first fridge doesn't have the capacity to meet the needs of the department. Maybe they'll then look at the usage of the fridge if it's going to cost them money.

Change the fridge setting to the warmest setting. Far less obvious than turning it off. It's soooo easy to accidentally knock the fridge setting if the fridge is full. Wink

limitedperiodonly · 06/05/2016 08:59

I love Robert Dyas. I'd go for a transparent lock box so the thwarted thieves could be driven mad by the sight of my luscious lunch. The only problem is that those boxes would take up a lot of room in the fridge for one portion of sushi. Perhaps you could share or even rent space OP.

DeepfriedPizza · 06/05/2016 09:06

My colleague came into work this morning to find her Punnets of fruit missing. One of strawberries, one of blueberries and one of raspberries. They were there (unopened) when she left last night at 4.45 but were missing by 8.15 this morning.

I was off yesterday so it wasn't me. It could be 3 other people or the cleaner but she isn't even going to ask anyone about it!

Fluffywuffyunicorn · 06/05/2016 09:08

Both are available on amazon. Tate15s links are cheaper though. I'd get one of the cage ones for work though, place it right in the center of the shelf and padlock it to the shelf. She won't be able to fit much on either side. Especially if your IT bitch feels the need to use one as well.

Might get one of the others for home to keep my chocolate safe from Dp and Dd now that she can crawl.

Balletgirlmum · 06/05/2016 09:12

Anithe shameful place mark.

FurryTrousers · 06/05/2016 09:13

If you want to be really irritating and mess with her mind, once she's gone home fill the fridge to bursting with paper, pens, envelopes etc and stick a large note on the front with 'Stationery Cupboard' on it.

Random, but very childish and guaranteed to piss her off. Deny all knowledge if questioned!!

Fluffywuffyunicorn · 06/05/2016 09:16

limited She could buy a whole fridge worth and rent them all out for a pound a day. Something like this.
FMFF will surely get the message then!

limitedperiodonly · 06/05/2016 09:23

That looks like a coup fluffy. Go for it OP. And there's nothing wrong with earning money off your co-workers. We live in a free market economy. You could subsidise people with concessionary rates at your discretion.

KittyKrap · 06/05/2016 09:23

Oh that's so sad! It looks like the sandwiches are in jail Confused

gingerbreadmanm · 06/05/2016 09:25

best add a message so i don't loose the thread. Kept me entertained for days Grin

I vote for glitterbomb and filling the fridge up once she has left.

Along with various hilarious notes on the front of the fridge. I have to say i cant believe management are letting this fly and why on earth is no-one else kicking off? not that i really care as i am enjoying the thread too much

i love the name fridgebitch too haha!

LaContessaDiPlump · 06/05/2016 09:26

Shock I am so getting one of those fridge boxes; I am the lone female in a house full of men/boys and can see a time coming when I will have to jealously guard my treats from the greedy bastards looking at you already DH

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 06/05/2016 09:26

ITbitch is officially my best friend- he has my back and has roped in his sidekick (who is raring to go)

They have confirmed she has gone shopping (thank god!) this morning

List as follows(not extensive and he said some stuff was guessed because they wanted to view and run)
Bread rolls
Tomatoes
Cucumbers
Yoghurt
Burgers
Jelly
Coleslaw
Dips
Chicken
Bagged salad
Margarine
Ham
Cheddar
Courgette
I've not asked if they were cock courgettes!

Looks like she's making Indian food tonight Grin

Also have gone with the following action (he's taken out the fuse) used a purple Sharpie ( she is known for her hallowed stash of purple pens) to deface the plug.see image (she's going to sweat as I'm not there)

I'm going to order a fridge coffin for our food!

Fridge safes are great for shared fridge space.......but they do depend on no one being brazen enough to remove the whole thing (as they aren't stuck down).
I think rank cod woman would just take out OPs safe wouldn't she?

BoatyMcBoat · 06/05/2016 09:29

Grin splendid

dangerrabbit · 06/05/2016 09:31

This is brilliant.

IT bitch should stick the following picture to the fridge (also relevant to DM hacks mining MN for copy)

Akire · 06/05/2016 09:33

That's fantastic! The office natives are turning!

dylsmimi · 06/05/2016 09:34

Well done ITBitch and accomplise! I love it!
I think you should buy a lovely big cake that needs to be stored in the fridge for them on Monday morning (assuming they put the fuse back in) - I bet there will be plenty of room! Grin
