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

kitty Ha sandwich Jail! Grin
limited She could rent out both selves in the lock box. If she bought 3, she'd make £6 a day... £30 a week... £120 a month... £1440 a year... Damn, if only I worked in an office!

Shock ITBitch isn't winding you up? He's definitely done it?

She's going to go nuclear! Hopefully she will think and realise it's been done today, rather than that you did it last night.

Also, as entertaining as I'm finding this, I'd be prepared for her to make a formal complaint to HR about it.

Unfortunately, I think that what your office needs is a formal, published 'fridge usage policy'. This is the kind of thing that drives our HR manager nuts- she tries not to have lots of silly policies for things like the 'correct use of the fridge and cloakroom', because she thinks we're adults and should know how to behave, but some idiot invariably messes things up so that she has to write a policy, and we all have read them. She always says we've brought it on ourselves Grin

LaContessaDiPlump · 06/05/2016 09:39

Oh my days - that's fightin' talk!!

I assume the rest of them will go out for lunch today, as there is no functioning fridge? Wink

cakesonatrain · 06/05/2016 09:43

ITBitch is awesome! (sung to Lego Movie theme)

BarbaraofSeville · 06/05/2016 09:44

Those fridge coffins are hilarious.

You can see what is in them so if you are using them to protect your treats from greedy bastards, they will be able to see them but not actually have them.

KittenOfWoe · 06/05/2016 09:44

Oh wow!! Waiting with chewed nails for an update now......

Akire · 06/05/2016 09:46

Defo get those coffins ready installed she can't complain if she's left one! Make sure everyone else has lunch in theirs all ready to go.

limitedperiodonly · 06/05/2016 09:49

Sounds like she's planning a barbecue.

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 06/05/2016 09:49

Have sent link to lunch tombs to colleagues-
As yet no reply Grin

No ITbitch is a great guy and he owes me plenty (he can neck beer paid by me at an alarming rate)

I should not be thinking abut work today no I AM GRIPPED - forget you lot! Grin

I'm wondering about biting the bullet and buying one of those counter tops drinks fridges with my name on. That's just for me.

Get ITbitch to set up extension then plug 4/5 of mini fridges on counter in kitchen area with your names on. Stick her name on the broken fridge.

PregnantAndEngaged · 06/05/2016 09:53

I'd open each item and take little bits out of it and bin it. E.g. empty the chicken breasts out and just leave the packet in there, empty half of her grapes, pour away half her juice etc.

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 06/05/2016 09:53

How does one person manage to intimidate all their coworkers and management in this way? I'd like just one ounce of her scary.

Be brave, OP, but watch your back. I'm picturing you like this

I may divorce DH and marry it bitch! I think I'm in love.

limitedperiodonly · 06/05/2016 09:55

I also miss working in an office fluffy

Tate15 · 06/05/2016 09:55

So pleased to see that action has been taken and retaliation has commenced.

BaboonBottom · 06/05/2016 09:58

This is amazing!!! Nothing like a common enemy to bring a work force together!!
has itbitch seen this thread?

RunRarebitRun · 06/05/2016 10:00

Do you think Fridgehog woman has actually been planted by management to enhance team-building amongst the rest of the staff? If so, it appears to be working. Smile

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 06/05/2016 10:01

Baboon

runrarebit
She used to work at head office and claims to be very tight with everyone there.

My guess is they kicked her out of HQ to our office because of how she is with others.

Right!

First, you read the OP. You realise that one of your (apparently sane and reasonable) co-workers is also likely to be bat-shit crazy and concealing anti-social activities. You look in their eyes and wonder which one.
Then you read the rest of the thread, the revolting stories and WTF revenge ideas and you realise that everyone is fucking bat-shit crazy Shock Shock Shock

PacificDogwod · 06/05/2016 10:06

Grin @ FridgeHogger having been a plant for team building purposes!
That could so easily go so very very wrong….

I am on tenterhooks here

BYOSnowman · 06/05/2016 10:10

Every office has a crazy. If you don't know who it is, it's probably you!

StillRabbit · 06/05/2016 10:11

I am far too invested in this.... I've got a bonus day off and should be cleaning the post apocalyptic horror left by my DCs family bathroom but I just can't peel myself away from this thread in case I miss an important update.

And I would DEFINITELY contribute to the GoFundMe page.

InternationalHouseofToast · 06/05/2016 10:11

I presume the fuse-less plug has been plugged back in, so it's not obvious that the fridge isn't working until she notices the light's not on or that her food's warm? Then she can unplug it to investigate and see the purple pen.

Take in soup in a flask for lunch on Monday, just on principle because it happens [cough] to be food which doesn't need refridgerating.
