Buttergate.....An internal email.

There was just the one on the far left previously. There is also a message on the fridge about mouldy food, one on the recycle bin saying it shouldn't have food in it and one on the food bin saying it shouldn't have recycling in it. I count 11 messages in total.

She's a sweetheart really but is fed up of cleaning up after everyone.

I used to work at a Sport's club and the things I have had to clean up from the toilets would make your hair curl. It was disgusting, and yes the womens' was worse than the men's. Although got to admit we were open on a Saturday dinner time for the local pub football teams so got a lot of 'the morning after' poos.
I've cleaned up just about every bodily fluid off the walls and even the ceiling.

I used to also take my turn in doing the cricket teas, and another staff member thought nothing about coming in and nicking the food out of the fridge the day before. They even took a huge tub of pork that I had left in there for a bbq, and I mean about 5kg of the stuff.

A few months back, someone clearly had an "explosion" in one of the cubicles. I entered the room and quickly left as it was everywhere. Very, very nasty.

I was extremely impressed by the cleaner lady who showed up at the regular time to clean the room, and got everything shiny again without any complaint whatsoever.

She got a big bunch of flowers for that! (hopefully they helped take the smell away...)

Note to self " Don't read the new posts whilst eating cheese and biscuits" :doh:

I temped for a short while at a large warehouse where we were strictly regulated.

We had email which we could access during breaks (15 mins morning and afternoon and 30 mins lunch).

There were a few from management describing the war zone that was the Gents.

Someone had been peeing and pooing inappropriately, stuffing whole rolls of paper down the toilets and doing fairly unspeakable things to the urinals. There were also other acts of vandalism as well.

There were also instances of petty and not so petty theft all carefully detailed in the emails in which the management expressed their disappointment as well as anger.

What astounded me was the first line.

"Once again, I have to bring up the subject....."

Once again? This was, apparently a regular thing.

Luckily I didn't stay there long......

That kitchen looks positively pristine compared to ours which looks like a bad flat share

I can't help but think this indicates a major design flaw in the bathroom. I'd put up a sign in response - 'please provide ladders for the mirrors'.

I'm sure as I read on, I'm sure that someone else will have replied, but I'm assuming that the ladies want use of a full length mirror to check their clothes etc, not just their faces by standing in front of the sink :rotfl:

Moving on from "Buttergate", we now have "Milkgate".

I buy 1 pint of milk at the start of the week (I only work 3 days, so this lasts me).

It's now Wednesday, my 2nd day at work and my milk has gone down considerably (less than half full). I had 3 cups of tea on Monday and 2 today so far,so It's definitely not me. I usually have some left at the end of the week, which I either take home or drink.

I'm sure I know who it is and he probably used it when I wasn't in yesterday.

*Before anyone says about using the work computer for personal stuff, I'm on lunch!*

I once had a boatload of free cheeseburgers and McFlurries from McDonald's that I took into the office (my bun was mouldy so they threw free food at me to compensate). There was 1 cheeseburger left and I sent an e-mail round the department to offer it around, but accidentally sent it to the wrong e-mail group, so it went to that department in every office (UK, NY, HK, Paris, Toronto...). Had a (public) response of "please send it through the internal post" from a senior manager in NY - glad he had a sense of humour about it!

People in my office are forever using my mug. It drives me mad. I tried replacing it with a very obviously not-provided-by-the-employer mug - no luck. Tried again with one with my initial on it - no luck. Tried again with one with my NAME on it - still no luck. Finally had one printed that said "My use of this mug gives <my name> the legal authority to punch me in the face". STILL no luck!

The only answer with mugs is to buy your own and keep it in your desk/locker/handbag. Wash it immediately after each use, dry it and put it away again. Very boring and makes you look a bit neurotic, but it works...

we once had a staff memebr sue the company because someone insulted her footie team, and she won!!
