My colleague has twat me over the head with a courgette..

[DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT]

Too vague?

"How on board is anyone else?"

Certainly early on in ops posts her colleagues were wimping out on the whole thing (aside from itbitch ).

I think an email (cc-ing the boss) re the hot weather meaning people will want cool drinks and food is a good idea.

Perhaps including something like 'hydration and keeping cool being important for health & safety and concentration levels' so if she rails back SHE can explain why production affected!!

So does she usually make sure that she leaves the fridge free for "all those lovely cakes"?

How many will there be that staff lunches and drinks won't fit in??

. MrTCakes.

No she doesn't normally leave space in fridge (for cake that was sarky) but we are pigs and scoff eclairs at 8:55am as needs must.

Oh shit. I forgot to cancel the cheque

So she is basically saying "take your shit out at night so I can load the whole fridge with my shopping"

I feel so much RAGE for you!!!

But .... would she take out a big, beautifully decorated birthday cake (perhaps with fresh cream so it had to be refrigerated) that had been left in overnight and chuck it to fit in her shopping??

But op you must cancel the cheque.

So did the email directly come from her then? Is it named as coming from her or has it come from HR at her bequest?
The reply really ought to have addressed it head-on namely:
Dear HR
The fridge is communal therefore I would suggest personal items should be limited to no more than four* per person in any case, so that everyone can fit in their lunch/snack/can or bottle, particularly in view of the warm weather coming up.
The fridge should not be full to the brim of one person's personal items at the start of each and every shift. Such selfishness means that it is never available for everyone's use, regardless of whether it is empty at the close of day or not.

• personal does not mean an uncooked family chicken ** excludes courgettes which are of course unlimited

Maybe you could put a human skull in the fridge. But do cancel the cheque.

Can you slap her in the face with the courgette?
Or
Send daily photo emails to the boss of what the fridge looks like with her crap food

Maybe you could buy a courgette cock cake to put in the fridge

The boss is actually chickenshit.

Have you submitted the evidentiary photographs, OP? I'm sure I remember your saying you'd taken photos of the fridge full of her daily shopping. Tomorrow will be business as usual so you need to be ready to snap again.

Ambiguity intentional.

Did we miss anything on op's name change posts? Don't have the patience to trawl through.

Crapola. I have missed something about a cheque runs off to investigate

courgette cock cake

To DIY:

Buy a pre-made cake from the supermarket and make the photo upthread as a cake topper/edible topper.

Also, send an email and blind copy in the boss.....asking like a pp said to limit food/drink to four items each.

Viva la revolution

I'm not sure if this has been suggested but could you set up an Instagram account for the fridge

Then post a photo of the contents everyday

Ooh yes bcc the boss then she replies asserting her right to use the entire fridge as she sees fit and boss sees that! (Boss also hopefully sees she's not working the hours she's paid for so definitely ref her late starts/early leaving!)

Could you arrange a load of "communal" items? Butter, milk,whatever, clearly labeled "IT dept", "Admin" etc, not exactly personal items then...

I'm not sure if this has been suggested but could you set up an Instagram account for the fridge

This would be the reason I finally joined instagram.

BYO that is a genius idea!

If you need a human skull I'm your goth

Shamelessly etc etc - it took me eons to find this new thread......

Woohooo found you,

I really hope she doesn't load it up tomorrow- leave a courgette on her chair

Sepa a thread over a weekend when a poor wedding guest received an email from the bride and groom saying her hundred pound gift (very very generous in my book) didn't seem to reflect the warmth of her congratulations on the day so did she want to adjust the amount. Despite stating about 400 times that the cheque was cashed every second post said you should cancel the cheque. I'm wondering if the fridge hogger is newly married.
