Do you think he asked for an itemised list of things that were used as pillows and who they belonged to?

If he didn't he should have some consideration of what he may have ruined, regardless of whether it was intentional or not.

Jesus. I am so glad I am not either of you.

Just imagine being the poor guy who suffered the fit in his first few days in a new job and then realises just what his fellow employees are like!

I'm so glad I've never met anyone in real life like either of these two!

Soak the jacket in some biological washing powder overnight in warm water. It will come out. Put it on a hanger to dry.
Then get it cleaned to get the nice press & finish on it.

So again, if it was you that had the fit you would feel it ok not to ask after other peoples property and making sure it was not damaged?

Again because you aren't hearing if I'd had the fit I wouldn't remember what had happened and would have no clue anyone's property had been destroyed.

When the employer is likely to compensate the OP for his suit jacket why oh why would you want to humiliate a new colleague by bringing this up with them. Words completely fail me!

I don't have epilepsy by the way but my child does and as a result a few colleagues who also have it have confided in me so I've got a reasonably good idea of the stigma it carries in the work place.

I have never experienced blood stains which I couldn't get out easily, so would not leap to the conclusion that anything had been ruined - and I don't think it should have been if treated properly and promptly. Leaving it until it dried was ridiculous advice from Timsons from the point of view of the stain - if correct from the point of view of their machines and procedures.

You clearly are not listening.

The recent posts have been about if you were the person having epilepsy, not the person who had the coat.

If it were me and I had a fit I would be asking if everyones clothes were ok, you seem to think its ok not to do this which is of course your perogative to potentially ruin peoples items(again...whether intentionally or not)

But surely you would check, Nicki seems to think its ok to not bother even checking

Here you go if you have any interest in educating yourself so you stop coming across as insensitively as you do.
