    I went to the loo this afternoon to find my boss sitting with his feet up on MY desk. Just make yourself comfy then.... :mad:

    I used to work in a restaurant and every now and then some total grot would cut their nails at a table. Who the hell thinks that's appropriate?! Another bug bear is brushing hair in a restaurant, please don't, it's gross.

    Uurrrrgh, a woman on the tube the other morn sat down, took off her shoes and socks and clipped her toenails! Everyone looked like they were going to spew but true to form no-one said anything, me included.

    It would have been horrible enough even if her feet and socks had seen soap recently, but they had not.
    Public appearances now involve clothing. Sorry, it's part of my bail conditions.

    I had a couple sat in front of me on the bus, lad had really bad acne, girlfriend was popping spots on his face and he was mopping up the blood and pus with a tissue.

    I had to move, it really was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen

    You will be next for promotion, watch this space!

    Hope you told him to get his feet off your desk. That's assertive. They love that!

    Probably in loo of a proper, bog standard office location until various motions have been passed in committee. Happens all the time, but nonetheless, I'd be seriously peed-off if I was the OP. :)

    I hope you can see how unimportant I am at work. ;) I dont even get a space in the main office.


    Although thankfully we have no poo smearers. I'd have to resign if we did.

    I dunno, the throne is the most important seat isn't it?

    My friend was fed up with people using her milk from the fridge at her office.

    So she labeled her little milk bottle 'goats milk', and no one touched it after that.

    If that didn't work she was considering labeling it 'breast milk', but fortunately she didn't have to resort to that!

    I've just remembered a teaspoon story from my old workplace. They were forever going missing so the fed-up facilities manager had a couple of spoons attached to chains bolted to the sink (like pens in a bank!). These lasted all of 2 weeks before the spoons went missing and all that was left was a couple of chains! They're still there now after about 5 years as a sad reminder of the brief life span of a spoon in a communal kitchen. :)
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
