It's already done
Thanks for your help x

Some of us work very hard- we spend a lot less time larking about than the people who go out for countless fag breaks! Grin

the woman in the queue in front of me at the local farm shop bought 19 courgettes earlier. Was so tempted to ask if she was going to stick Googly eyes on them!

qazxc · 10/05/2016 20:31

If it's " first come , first served". Maybe one of you can hold her back after she unlocks door, and the rest of you rush and jam pack the fridge.

TwoLeftSocks · 10/05/2016 20:41

Take a photo (minus courgettes) every day and send them too your manager. Eventually, hopefully, you'll wear them down and they'll sort it.

Get everyone to join in, with photos of warm lunches, to speed things up.

Flibjibbet · 10/05/2016 20:51

Surely management will act now? That fridge is a joke!!

sepa · 10/05/2016 21:08

I'm still sat here eating the warm muffins from MissPunny. I forgot the popcorn

MissPunnyMany · 10/05/2016 21:17

Still going on those sepa? They're my grandmother's recipe Grin I'm rolling sushi for tomorrow's lunches now Wink

BoatyMcBoat · 10/05/2016 21:27

Maybe you can ask for reimbursement of the costs of buying lunch daily, as you cannot keep your packed lunches in the fridge, and therefore have to buy it. Perhaps you could also add 15 minutes to your lunch breaks to compensate for time lost having to go to the shop.

If you all did it, then even the most ineffective manager would have to take notice.

TwoLeftSocks · 10/05/2016 22:12

I was thinking, did you say she does her shopping in work time? If she tries to claim costs of unchilled food (from your monkeying about with fuses), will the time on her receipt show she's been bunking work to buy lots of yogurt and raw beef?

Jenni2legs · 11/05/2016 00:19

Can't wait until the morning now...

CiaoVerona · 11/05/2016 02:21

That fridge hogging bitch is absolutely bat shit crazy I think id have thrown her outta the window at this point. What a twat.

That said, I fucking love this thread am in awe of Didyou and Itbitch cannot wait till tomorrow for some updated googlie courgettes!!!!!!!!

CiaoVerona · 11/05/2016 02:23

Two I think she has the keys to open the business every day I presume she does her shop before work and rolls up on latish- on time.

Proginoskes · 11/05/2016 02:49

How many people are in the office? If everyone rocks up with one good sized carrier bag of groceries one morning, she's look a prize tit saying "MY groceries can go in but YOURS can't." Because her argument is where else would she keep them without them going bad...but if everyone else had things that were going to go bad or just cleverly resealed empty containers of things like perishable dairy it will force her to make the argument why her shopping is different from all other shopping.

AlwaysFeedingBabies · 11/05/2016 03:21

Right. I've jus caught up on 40 pages on the original post, and 22 on this thread so I'm blantently place marking so I can continue the enjoyment. Fingers crossed the email works OP.

dangerrabbit · 11/05/2016 07:25

I'm glad you've made that complaint to management and agree with others that tackling this in the health and safety route is the way forward and any more mass direct action could be positioned by FMFF as bullying, allowing her to blithely continue with her fridge hogging ways.

Cunt.

diddl · 11/05/2016 07:48

I was also thinking that if the fridge is supposed to be for lunches/drinks then unless you are all eating courgettes for lunch then you are being as bad as her, sort of.

Hope that the email works & it all gets sorted out.

saffamom · 11/05/2016 08:12

Also place marking however I have just emptied half the work fridge of all out of date food. As some people may eat a few days out of date have restricted it to items dating back to Feb and March!

gingerbreadmanm · 11/05/2016 08:40

Dailyfail cashed to.goddam cheque.

Cunts.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 11/05/2016 08:52

Beryl of course she can claim she's being bullied. The reason for that is that the op and work mates actually ARE bullying her!

Grow up op

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 11/05/2016 09:15

Good name, Triptrap. Suits you.

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 11/05/2016 09:20

TripTrap I don't think that we are bullying her. we're trying to make light of a shit situation that has been going on for too long. Perhaps she's been bullying all of us- the office and management historically have been very scared of her- she casts a horrid frosty atmosphere over the whole place and picks people off- most of the stuff we have done is to amuse each other when our appeals to the manager have failed.
The fridge is empty today and there's a sign on it(won't divulge sorry) but I'm getting some sandwiches in a minute and will enjoy eating them leisurely at my desk instead of having to frantically find something, queue for half my lunch break, then bolt it down whilst eying up FMFF's raw giblets sticking out of OUR FRIDGE!

Cunts!

We won't be derailed that easily triptrap .....OP courgette-gate update needed!

IfTheCapFitsWearIt · 11/05/2016 09:29

Yes! The fridge is empty! Mission accomplished. Now you can all start using it as a proper communally fridge.

Hopefully that's the end of it.

LaContessaDiPlump · 11/05/2016 09:30

It's interesting isn't it: rising up against an office dictator is initially admirable, but sustained resistance is viewed as 'not on' because everyone's against her (and obviously so). While I understand people's wariness of the situation, you've got to remember that FridgeFucker gave not one shit about anyone else's feelings even when it was made perfectly clear that her behaviour was causing upset. That rather erodes my sympathy for her current predicament, I'm afraid.

Covering your backs with an email is a good backup option though op!!

DidYouBINmysushiyouTWAT · 11/05/2016 09:31

It's not working at the moment Wink

Hopefully it'll work soon. I'm used to eating warm prawns-nothing gives me the cunting Daily Mail shits anymore.
