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

Fill the fridge with breast milk in squishy sterile bags.

And more courgette cocks.

If you tip or move a fridge which is switched on, you can force oil up the screw of the compressor. If the fridge is kept switched on with oil in the compressor, it will become knackered and will not keep temperature even though there is no visible problem with the fridge.

I don't know why I posted this, I'll just leave it out there Grin.

On another subject, you really need a few more people to have keys to the office. It' ludicrous if you're all waiting around outside unable to do anything because she's still in the supermarket/stuck on a train or whatever. And what happens if she takes time off or is off sick?

UmbongoUnchained · 04/05/2016 17:03

Oh I've been involved in fridge wars before. Such fun. You probably have more control over your temper than me though. thankfully I kept my job

OnlyLovers · 04/05/2016 17:06

Tell us the story then, Umbongo!

age81 · 04/05/2016 17:06

A good kick in the flaps!

Love it!!!! Can't stop howling

notapizzaeater · 04/05/2016 17:10

You've much more patience than me, I'd have dumped her stuff on her desk and growled at her

GrumpyOldBag · 04/05/2016 17:11

Ah fridge wars.

One reason I went self-employed.

Never got over someone binning the hummus I'd planned for lunch.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 04/05/2016 17:12

I think it's fine to have lark about on a thread and even say some utterly outrageous things you'd never dream of doing in RL.

Now if you want my professional opinion on the fridge situation, well you'll have to pay for it. Until then larking about it is.

Bloody killjoys Hmm Grin

dodobookends · 04/05/2016 17:12

Loving the idea of replacing some of the eggs with hard-boiled onesGrin

MissBattleaxe · 04/05/2016 17:13

Agree about getting more key holders. The fridge hogger is holding you all to ransom. You should all get keys!

UmbongoUnchained · 04/05/2016 17:16

onlylovers

I just went apocalyptic. Her desk was right in front of the door to the kitchen and I just stood by the fridge pulling all her shit out and wanging it at her head. She used to make sandwiches for lunch, but instead of making it at home, she would go to the shop and buy all the ingredients every morning and leave them all in the fridge. But she would buy more each morning even when there was still loads lefts. So like 5 half empty jars of sliced pickles, 4 blocks of cheese, 5 open packets of salami etc... It used to stink coz she never wrapped anything up and it would go off and she would just leave it. But if I made sushi for lunch she would take it out the fridge and leave it in the window sill so it went hot.
I just lost it I was so fucked off.

Floggingmolly · 04/05/2016 17:17

Why would you not confront someone who threw your lunch in the bin? Confused. All the paybacks on this thread sound amusing in the abstract, but Jesus!! She threw your lunch in the fucking bin!
God knows what she'll progress to if she thinks you haven't the balls to even remark on something like that Hmm

chemenger · 04/05/2016 17:17

Can't you all wait at the door one morning then make a group dash for the fridge and get your lunches in there before her? One of you could distract her while the rest get past.

OnlyLovers · 04/05/2016 17:18

pulling all her shit out and wanging it at her head.

Grin

I love it.

People can be such wankers, can't they? She got what was coming to her. Did she mend her ways? or flee the country

UmbongoUnchained · 04/05/2016 17:21

she left shortly after thankfully. She was a fucking horrible bitch that everyone hated. HR finally gave her the shove!

OnlyLovers · 04/05/2016 17:21

Bet she didn't forget you in a hurry. Grin

RedToothBrush · 04/05/2016 17:25

Why is it that the ones who rubbish at their jobs and selfish about the fridge are one and the same people?

UmbongoUnchained · 04/05/2016 17:25

Nobody forgets me in a hurry Grin

BitOutOfPractice · 04/05/2016 17:33

I think this is the most outrageous thing I have ever heard on MN. I mean, it's your lunch. Your lunch! I would kill her with my bare hands

ImNotThatGirl · 04/05/2016 17:34

Every now and then, I wonder if mumsnet is for me but then I read threads like this and I'm hooked.

JinRamen · 04/05/2016 17:37

I am so glad I don't work in an office. (but glad you do as this thread is great!)

HarlettOScara · 04/05/2016 17:39

I'd open every pack of her food and remove just a bit- one chop, one sausage, one Kiev etc.

Also, if you're into low level petty annoyance, placing a small piece of sellotape over the mouthpiece of a telephone makes for some amusement
