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

Too vague?

Place marking as I've been lurking so far and need to be able to find the thread quicker!

Katie a chimp can change a fuse- it's not damaged but her food will be.

I've changed enough on here to be confident I wont get outed.

Take every item of hers, and wrap it up in a zillion layers of cling film.

sushi is the rest of the fridge full of meat??

You make it an issue that CAN NOT be ignored by management or anyone else.

A message to all staff makes it very difficult. Tell everyone you will be removing non fridge items so you can have your lunch.

If you get a snotty one back, hit reply ALL. Honestly, it works.

As funny as this is, it now getting annoying too. Stand up to bullies. Even if they are your boss.

BCC your home email, so you have it all documented if it makes you feel better

at her bloody cheek but at the googly-eyed courgettes!!!

No unsullied boxey juices and other items belonging to others I won't photograph as it will out me/us.

Will do the email and have many more photos from the last few weeks we sent to each other as a joke.

i cant believe management are too scared of her to tell her to stop putting personal shopping in the fridge and turning up late to open up every day!

WTF is she going to do? take them to an employment tribunal for discriminating against her for not being at work on time and using company property for personal items???

Oh I know the back story

I think she will say she's being bullied though.

She clearly doesn't get it

Can ITbitch and/sidekick guy not send an email to everyone ie FMFF from an non personal email address eg info@ that issues an official fridge use policy. No raw meat, no food for consumption outside of the office, no hogging 98% of the fridge space, no removal of items not breaching these rules unless it's an agreed fridge clear out only to be undertaken my authorized personnel - who can be identified by their courgette shaped fridge monitor badge?

Photo evidence is the best thing you have, as you can document what's going on.

If she uses the bullied word, then you say that you feel bullied too. Which is actually true because she is using her position to stop anyone else using the fridge reasonably.

The thing is, now you've done this much, if you continue with the joke much more it WILL look like bullying and it weakens your case.

You've tried to get someone to 'take the hint'. They haven't. So now its time to just get tough.

Thanks I see your point

Cheesy Thank you!

I love the way office bullies will say they are the ones being bullied. I've worked with two truly awful colleagues in my time enough to believe this thread. One was so bloody awful I've blocked her on FB after repeated friend requests. They eventually managed to make her redundant, but I've never met a more unpleasant, entitled woman. She really was the mumsnet definition of entitled.

Hope her pâté goes off the selfish bint

Bread, potatoes and bananas do not need to be in a fridge! Most veg will also survive out of the fridge until she gets home. Just take anything like that out if she puts it in and leave it on the side!

"Its first come, first served."
"Actually, I've checked and it isnt."

This thread is my new favourite place on the internet.

Bread actually stales more quickly in the fridge!

I want to know what's happening today now the fridge is not working again...

(Have you cancelled the cheque?)

Maybe someone from HR needs to have a kind word and ask if everything is ok at home? Maybe she doesn't have a working fridge at home? Maybe she has a bullying husband who demands a restaurant style menu or only decides what he fancies for dinner at breakfast. Maybe her kids will eat all the food if she leaves it in there?

Or she's just entitled.

She'll know though won't she that the fridge is being tampered with when her stuff is in it?

It worked yesterday when there was nothing of hers in, but fri & today it's not working.

Just be careful it doesn't backfire on you. When we've had fridge issues in the past, our boss just dismissed them by saying, "If the fridge is causing problems, I'll just get it removed".

"She'll know though won't she that the fridge is being tampered with when her stuff is in it?

It worked yesterday when there was nothing of hers in, but fri & today it's not working."

Aha! But then IT or someone can suggest that the fridge has been overloaded and is breaking down because there is too much in it!

I'm so over invested in this thread! Hate fridge hoggers. We had a milk hoarder. Each day, a new milk but the old one still left in the fridge.
