  • Eurgh you have unpleasantly reminded my of my ex boss who used to cut his nails at his desk. He was a disgusting pig IMHO anyway.:mad:

    I had a boss who, before praying, would clean his feet in the main office. Not that bad until he would leave the soggy balled up paper towels he used to do it on my desk for me to throw away

    In a previous job one of the temp workers would ask to borrow someone's 30cm ruler only to use it to shove down the back of her top and scratch her back with it. She must have has some sort of skin complaint as you could hear the skin grating against the ruler! People stopped using long rulers soon after

  • No e-mail but it sort of fits the theme- when I was in halls at uni I got so sick of people stealing my tomato ketchup out of my cupboard (almost an entire bottle went over one weekend) that I decided to add a few additions to the bottle to teach whoever it was a lesson- plenty of salt and washing-up liquid. I heard on the grapevine that whoever was stealing it threw up the next time they used it which served them right!

    We also had someone in our halls who bought an octopus/squid from a fishmonger for a photo shoot of some kind and then left it outside the fire exit on somebody else's baking tray for weeks- it absolutely stank and she refused to own up to it even though everybody knew it was her.

    :eek:

    Octopus photo shoot?! I've heard it all!

    We had an email in work to ask the owner of the boxer shorts at the foot of the stairs to remove them. No one could move for hours to go to the loo in case someone thought it was them :rotfl:

    We had an opposite situation at work once. An email came round about some buffet food that was left in one of the downstairs meeting rooms. The buffets at this place were legendary and the whole office couldn't get down there fast enough. So much so that one poor woman slipped on the stairs in her rush and broke her ankle :eek:.

    Our teams milk is forever disappearing too but unfortunately we can't come up with any safe way of sabotaging it so as not to end up getting 10 years as folks can have alergies to the strangest of things........(any ideas welcome :shhh:)

    buy a bottle of goats milk. then just keep washing it out and filling it with normal milk.

  • I accidentally sent an email calling one of the managers a tw@ to the person in question... had to go and confess to my direct manager before he called me up!

    we used to get snitty emails about milk being used all the time...

    One particularly sarcastic (and funny) person suggested getting a cow to resolve the issue, and then politely asked that people refrain from sending strings of emails to the whole office about a pint of semi skimmed....

    If I remember rightly she was dressed as a mermaid with the octopus draped over her lol

    I once caught a young trainee rubbing the office kitchen tea towel over her teeth to clean them, then hang it back up to dry....
