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

Too vague?

Yeah but most importantly did you get around to CTC?

Re lurking

This CTC is getting beyond boring know. It was funny on the actual original thread.

Anyway. Where are you op? Have she smashed you all over your heads with her duck?

Dob her in for turning up late/monopolising the fridge in writing - surely if there's a record, management will have to do something? Phone environmental health with concerns over food hygiene in your place of work (anonomously)

I'm worried that you'll be in bother if you go much further.

You sure she doesn't have problems at home like another person said? That fridge pic is really bad!!

Can you follow her around the office, ringing a bell and crying, "SHAME! SHAME!"?

Perhaps she has a prisoner/hostage/trapped in the basement. Half the food is for them,she tells the "at home" family that she is doing the shopping after worksoshe can spend time doing whatever she does with the imprisoned one

I was thinking that the duck is for herself and her DH and perhaps the favourite of their children. The out-of-favour children will be getting beef burgers instead.

I did nothing other than the courgette with eyes. Someone has taken one of her ducks. Not me. Not me. I only know because I was sent a photo (to my printer) which I won't post. Mind you, it might not be HER actual duck.
I've emailed and added pics as advised she's gone home now. Hopefully manager will sort it as quite a few are on board thanks to ITbitch.
Night all- on my way home and shattered

Now that she has gone could you take all the shelves out of the fridge and hide them somewhere? That'll slow her down a bit.

:o MetalMidget

Or of course if your manager won't sort it for you, you write the email, cc all. And cc the manager's manager.

That raw meat squished in is a big health hazard. As is leaving your own food out in this weather. (And gods the cost of not being able to bring a packed lunch! )

Your boss needs to sort this. He/she is responsible for this kind of shit. I absolutely hate this side of managing people but such is life. Copy her boss and HR and elf and safety.

The only reason why this woman does this is because you all allow her to.

Go and get bags, fill them up with her shopping and give them back to her and tell her that she is taking the piss, throwing a person's lunch out is unacceptable and that as a result of her continues selfishness she won't be allowed more than her lunch in the fridge or it will be removed by anyone and everyone.

If she objects to that she can go and shop in her own time after work.

Stop putting up with this crap, go take the shopping out. She has no problem taking your sushi out and binning it.

Enough is enough. May the worms turn. 😎

Already done Zaurack.

So the fridge wasn't working by the end of the day? Did she notice?

If she did then I doubt she'll bring shopping in tomorrow. But I'd sort the fuse out and have it start working again, have it work okay for a few days to lull her into a false sense of security and then mess with the fuse one day after she leaves - the next day she'll do her shop thinking that the fridge is working fine, she'll come in, the fridge won't be cold AT ALL as it will have been off all night and she'll then spend ages faffing about with her shopping not knowing what to do.

Or about
Hi boss. As you are aware one person is monopolising the full use of the fridge on a daily basis. They are packing in raw meat which of course is a health hazard, as is packing in so much food together so that the temperature of the fridge is compromised . WE have tried sorting this out but we hit a brick wall every time as the person pops next door to stock up, well before the rest of us arrive for the day. And then we are told but they also work here, we are not disputing this person works with us. We are disputing the monopolisation of a shared appliance.

So the only thing I can now logically think of is that the rest of us who are unable to use the fridge are given a daily food allowance. We cannot afford to eat out daily, nor constantly buy cold drinks. I would like to be able to bring in a pack lunch from home as would others and store it safely, yet the actions of another person prevent this, to the point that our lunches have been removed to store the persons personal family meals. And at the end of every week/month this allowance is docked from the fridge hoggers wage along of course with wages docked from late opening to go and buy the families groceries.

Yours courgette.

Make a formal health and safety complaint to HR or the designated H&S rep. This will protect you legally if any disciplinary action is taken against you. Seriously. Do this. I know this shit.

I'd be concerned that she could claim bullying.

The manager is piss poor that they haven't sorted it out, but to be honest, they sound piss poor anyway given that everyone has so much time on their hands to mess about with fuses, googley eyes and doing their shopping and opening up late. The entire culture sounds laissez faire.

Fucking hell she's being very stubborn. Your manager has to do something now, surely?

This thread has been fun, but I hope it gets sorted now. Fridge bitch is obviously not going to give in, she's just hasn't got it in her to see any problem with what she's doing, so management above her have got to sort it, end of.

Take heed of what fatandold says. Its all very amusing for the rest of us but will be considerably less so for you if you don't cover your ass properly!

Am I the only one getting giddy and flushed that ITBitch loves us all??

What is the matter with her? Duck and Beef in a fecking work fridge. Manager needs to grow a pair pronto.

Either that, or stage a coup with IT Bitch installed as your new leader.

I've seen this unfold on Facebook and am just saving this thread on my app so I can catch up. But what I've read so far is hilarious!

^^

Yes, fatandold has a good point. Cover your arse OP in case this gets fugly.
