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

Go forth and get pisshed!

Nothing we didn't already know via ITbitch.

She reported fridge is broken and said she had a mind to show them her receipt so they can refund her the cost of her food.- not said to management but colleague

Nothing else. I had to say -no really? The fridge door kept flying open? The fridge broke today? Never ? They have not seen the plug.

That kind of thing.

iloveredwine · 06/05/2016 18:38

mix56 · 06/05/2016 18:47

TheUnsullied · 06/05/2016 18:48

She reported fridge is broken and said she had a mind to show them her receipt so they can refund her the cost of her food.

Oh God, I hope she does this. And I hope they make a point of saying the fridge is there to keep people's lunches and milk cold, not her family's groceries.

diddl · 06/05/2016 18:48

I think that you should encourage her to ask management for a refundGrin

TransvisionTramp · 06/05/2016 18:49

This is better than any TV show (in fact why hasn't anyone written a fridge war comedy?)
I can't wait until Monday's update.
Hope Mardie isn't a grass

AuldYow · 06/05/2016 18:51

Brilliant thread gotta love office shenanigans, her poor DH will get an earful tonight Wink

CaroleService · 06/05/2016 18:53

You're going to be awfully idenitfiable if she ever finds this thread ...

.. the only one not in on Friday ...

MissPunnyMany · 06/05/2016 18:58

Bloody hell! How can we wait until monday to find out!!

Golly I wonder if Mardle

(A) works in your office or

(B) works in the HQ she moved over from

mardle if you are a manager-type person you need to support the OP....and never reveal what you have read here. What happens on mumsnet stays on mumsnet!

MrsHathaway · 06/05/2016 18:58

Hold the phone.

She wants reimbursing for the private food she bought while she should have been at work, which she would otherwise have stored in the communal fridge leaving no space for anyone else.

I just can't even.

Akire · 06/05/2016 18:59

Love this thread! Hopefully she will moan few days next week , will management consider fridge repair essential maintence?

I'd wait for the day the engineer is do then get everyone to bring in lunches (hopefully she will get out of shopping before work habit in mean time) then someone can slip in fuse and it's amazing it's working! At which point you have all taken over space in the fridge and she can't get foot or cucumber back in Smile

DailyMailAreAFuckingJoke · 06/05/2016 18:59

Brilliant update. Please start a new thread (not in Chat so it won't disappear) - I NEED to know what happens on Monday!

TheOptimisticPessimist · 06/05/2016 19:01

This thread is absolute gold! Grin

Maybe ITbitch should start hiring out his devious services? You could start an office fridge revolution!!

MissPunnyMany · 06/05/2016 19:03

I'm just envisaging maintenance finding the plug with 'hahaha' on it Grin

IT bitch needs to replace the fuse pronto....but then take it out again when she puts her shopping in....

The suspense!

I'm sort of worried for your job OP. Deny everything. Maybe mumsnet HQ will hire you if you fired Grin

WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant · 06/05/2016 19:09

Mr I. T. Bloke.

Clear nail varnish around the fuse please.

Then test the ends with a multimeter. It's fine!

But the fridge will need to be away for a few days to investigate...

Please please please

DailyMailAreAFuckingJoke · 06/05/2016 19:09

OP has advised that fuse has gone back in and the 'ha ha ha' has been coloured in, so no trace remains...

Grin
MissPunnyMany · 06/05/2016 19:15

Phew! I was actually worried overinvested

AcrossthePond55 · 06/05/2016 19:22

Bwahahahahha! What a way to spend my Friday. I haven't done a damn thing.

It's been worth it!

Lydali · 06/05/2016 19:26

Fridges can break if they are over filled. I think the management should request that she replaces the fridge, as it was her fault it 'broke' Wink

BoatyMcBoat · 06/05/2016 19:34

Mardle

Remember, never talk about Mumsnet.
And, what happens on Mumsnet stays on Mumsnet.

TiggyD · 06/05/2016 19:35

Is there another thread started about this yet?

BoffinMum · 06/05/2016 19:36

This is so much better that rudely photoshopping annoying colleagues' pictures to look like people from The Office. neverdonethat
