    I was put on bogey watch once as i worked closest the the loo's. Everytime i saw someone come out i had to go in and check the walls. Quickly tracked down the culprit. They had a meeting with a manager and it didn't happen again.

    My sis works in a bank. Someone used to smear their bogeys all over the mirror. Nice! Sis got the job of typing up the email to go to all...

    'Would people please refrain from smearing their nose-pickings over the mirror in the ladies' toilets'.

    Ewwwww.

    I also left a stroppy note in the fridge when someone nicked one of my yoghurts.

    And we've had a 'smeared toilet' email too. I've worked out exactly who it is (one of the lawyers). Skanky. Can't look at her in the same light.

    Jx


    Haven't read through whole thread, but... how exactly did you find out who did the "smearing?!" Or do we not want to know? Why exactly would anyone actually want to do that?!

    Was about to accuse someone of throwing out my lunch just now.
    Went to the fridge and it wasn't there.
    It was Best Before yesterday so I guessed someone had been ultra efficient and thrown it out because it was old. Even though I only put it there this morning.

    Anyway, I got back to my desk about to moan, looked in my bag and there it was! It was the fridge at home that I remember putting it in last night rather than the fridge here. Glad I saw it before I moaned!
  • 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!*

    :D


    Either decant into a secondary container and label it "breast milk" or leave in its original container but add a splash of green food colouring.

    "Sandwich gate" - somebody ate somebody else's lunch sandwich from the communal fridge at DD's last job.
    Nobody owned up, so they checked CCTV and fired the guy as untrustworthy. (He was also a bit carp at the job).
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    One place I worked in as a temp had a "cleaner" who used the same set of cloths to wipe down everything, from the toilets to the tea mugs. When I commented on this to my supervisor she told me to grin and bear it otherwise the cleaner (who clearly had a close relationship with gin) would get sacked and not be able to get another job. I didn't know whether to admire the other 40 women who were going along with this so that the frankly rather obnoxious cleaner wouldn't lose her job or save them all from themselves by complaining to the boss. So I did the cowardly thing and asked my agency for a different assignment.

    When I worked in a hospital pharmacy, we had a communal fridge in the staff room. There was always left-over food and skanky lunchboxes left in there and the whole thing was filthy.

    Our senior pharmacist took swabs from the fridge and also from the gents toilet. I'm sure you can guess which one came back with the most horrible bugs and germs. :eek:


    And no, it wasn't the toilet!

  • Someone at my work helped themselves to 2 of the 5 penguin snacks left in a pack that belong to the below sender;


    Good Morning All,



    Just a quick email that last night when I went back into the reception I could hear some crying!



    To my dismay there were 3 orphaned penguins lying on the table, the parents had mysteriously disappeared.



    The CCTV has been looked at and names passed on to the WSPA.



    If anyone has noticed one of these around or p p p p p picked up a penguin please notify the WPSA at http://www.wspa.org.uk/

    We all thought it was quite funny.
