I have this vision of the OP and FMFF tussling over the fridge door...

Delurking to announce that at my wedding we had the flowers of courgettes stuffed with the mash of slightly lilac-hued potatoes atop a lovely cheesy veggie bake, it was magnificent.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 10/05/2016 11:48

I hope this is all made up...

Wotshudwehave4T · 10/05/2016 11:48

Loving this thread, how about a whip round to buy a spiraliser, fill fridge with spiralised courgette mountain, hiding the contents, sell raffle tickets for fridge tombolla. It'll get rid of all the food, then when FWFF complains feign innocence and say you thought it was a new team building exercise

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 10/05/2016 11:51

Hello.
Some food was moved and put onto worktops today and she has shopped not nearly as much as usual. We put stickers on the shelf with NO RAW MEAT in PURPLE pen Grinbut it has been ignored theres beef and duck squashed next to peoples milk- most is in the door but some milk and butter got squeezed to the side Angry

Think I may start an Instagram.

I had a drawer full of courgettes in my drawer so we synchronised (me and ITBEATCHES) and performed Operation Ratatouille - shoving veggies and squashing all her "personal items" together in the fridge- so much so that the door couldn't close.

Ten minutes later there was a fracas and a loud bang was heard- dear Mr courgette has met his timely demise- FMFF, doesn't know what we've done- she will see it at lunch time. I brought some nail varnish in my bag too- for operating fuse the fucker this afternoon. Manager has been e mailed with fridge photos (including our "no raw meat") there are more of us moaning now. I think she will have to listen.

Love the PP who said "it's really hard to fire five people" Brilliant.

TripTRap- I wish it were made up too.

Still at least some of us are actually talking to each other now!

Has anybody said CUNT yet?
Sorry photos are shit but trying to crop so I don't make some of the stuff in the fridge too identifiable.

Operation Ratatouille (sp?)

PS- ITBitch loves you all, he knows about this thread. He has a certain swag to his walk lately. Cannot think why.

Sorry must work now- anyone looks over my shoulder suddenly and I'm/we're rumbled Grin

Look at all her stuff! That is ridiculous.

nonamenopackdrill · 10/05/2016 12:01

I agree, this fridge deserves an Instagram account.

I share an office, and a fridge, with about 10 other people, and ours doesn't have nearly as much food in it! Just some milk and a few lunches.

divafever99 · 10/05/2016 12:02

Loving the courgettes! (off to find dd's googly eyes)

Pogmella · 10/05/2016 12:04

Can someone post a quick summary of who IT Bitch is? Following most of it but stuck with slow internet!

RaeSkywalker · 10/05/2016 12:05

I love operation ratatouille. I think you need a secret handshake and a motto Grin

kaitlinktm · 10/05/2016 12:05

OMG I LOVE the courgettes with googly eyes.

Stormtreader · 10/05/2016 12:06

Who buys beef and duck in a midweek shop when they shop every day? Does she do a selection of dinner options every evening like a restaurant?

RedToothBrush · 10/05/2016 12:07

Well I think its pretty clear that Gressingham Duck is not for consumption on the premises.

That's obvious she's taking the piss.

BYOSnowman · 10/05/2016 12:08

She's going to put in a complaint that she's being bullied I bet

MTPurse · 10/05/2016 12:08

This thread just keeps on giving! Great work op and itbitches.

BaboonBottom · 10/05/2016 12:11

I LOVE the veg!!!
I'm not surprised people have got the hump the raw stuff over others milk and things is awful. It's bad enough as a health risk, but if I was a veggie I'd really be annoyed.

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 10/05/2016 12:12

Stormtreader it is usually EVERYDAY! and the yoghurts!

BYO- we've tried a lot. Talking, asking, pleading, manager, who advised talking. Then it escalated to binning lunches! FMFF says and I quote "first come, first served" as to who gets space in the fridge AND "the fridge is communal yes, and I am part of that/that means me"

Yes people like this DO exist.

Also after a polite suggestion that she perhaps does an internet shop "oh no I like to feel all my veg and choose it all" Hmm Confused

MaddyHatter · 10/05/2016 12:13

Omg, I can't believe you actually took my idea and googly eyed stuff in there! I just scared my cat with cackling out loud when I opened that photo. Awesome! Grin

ShadowsInTheDarkness · 10/05/2016 12:14

Im at home sick and this thread is the best. Am croakily cheering you on OP and am fangirling rather at ITBitch and Sidekick. Also agree that fridge full of shopping is ridiculous!

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 10/05/2016 12:15

BluePeter have nothing on us-

Stationery items flimped from FMFF. Envelope stickers cut out to make googly eyes.

ExitPursuedByABear · 10/05/2016 12:15

Sheesh that is one stuffed fridge.

Duck
Pate
Smoked Salmon pate

This FMFF must be on a good salary.

Whisky2014 · 10/05/2016 12:15

Yeah but in reply back to "the fridge is communal yes, and I am part of that/that means me" surely you just say "yes, but not the whole fridge/99% of the fridge".
or "who says first come first served?" its communal so that means everyone should fit their lunch in there.

Can you actually say that to her?
