Buttergate.....An internal email.

I had a one that made me chuckle - 'Can people please have some common sense when submitting expenses to the client. See attached.'

Attached was a lengthy receipt from Hooters. Ha.

I used to work for a very large international company with staff located in all countries across the globe. I do not know accurately how may staff worked in the company, but it will have been a few hundred thousand in total.

A security notice was sent to all staff about wearing security passes at all times. One lady decided to reply to the email using the 'reply all' button to complain that the pin on her badge left holes in her blouse. So staff in Greenland knew, as did staff in Turkey, Nigeria, Russia... etc.

It's funny 'cos it's true! Wherever I've worked there's never enough teaspoons, no matter how many you start off with.

I have my own mug and two teaspoons which get locked away in my drawer everyday! The work ones are gross and all stained.

We also got a 'poo smearing incident' e-mail as they had to keep getting in a specialist cleaning company when it happened. Why on earth someone would smear their own excrement over a wall truly is mind boggling.

This was sent round my cousin's office last month:

Dear colleagues

It is with regret and a fair slice of incredulity that I find I have to send this email this morning.

.......

This just made me snort with laughter I had to tell my colleague what I was reading.

In 2 of the 5 offices I have worked in there has been poo incidents in the ladies, each time they were quite bizarre and it made me look at my colleagues in a new light

In the biggest office the management decided to fund a huge tub of margarine to avoid the complaints when peoples individual tubs got raided. It mainly worked as long as the huge office tub was replaced when it ran out!

Gosh - ours in mild by comparison to most of these! A sign went up in the newly refurbed ladies loo "please do not stand on the toilet seats!". Was totally confused until I found out several ladies had been caught standing on the seats (causing them to break) so they could look in the mirror on the wall above the sinks

There are other (cultural) reasons why people stand on loo seats:

I used to work on a maintenance helpdesk. We took calls about cleaning etc. and in the time I was there (4 years) I took calls about poo-smearing from 3 different sites. All ladies toilets as well.

So perhaps us ladies are an odd bunch but the blokes just block the loo with their huge poos that they have to show all their mates?

I kid you not, one of the offices I worked in I shared it with 3 guys (great guys all of them!) and someone came in to tell them there was a HUGE poo that had blocked the gents they all had to go and have a look

I cannot believe how common poo-smearing is! :eek: What is wrong with people?! _pale_

This thread has made me laugh a lot. The worst incidences in the office where I work are exploding mushroom soup in the microwave and bogeys wiped up the wall in the gents toilet. No poo-smearing - yet!:eek:
