Co Workers from hell (In the Canteen)

Lando Griffin

Some of the people I work with have no etiquette when it comes to having lunch in our lunchroom.
1. One lad has cornflakes at breakfast every morning and fills his bowl with milk to nearly overflowing then just eats the cornflakes and leaves the milk in the bowl and puts into sink with the stopper in. (We all pay for the milk)
2. I once was having coffee and when lifting the coffee jar by the lid the jar fell as the lid was not secured properly and the coffee spilt all over the wet work surface. It took me 5 minutes to clean, then when I lifted the milk from the fridge the exact same thing happened. Every day someone just puts the lid on things without screwing them and other people spill it.
3. One lad comes over any day I bring dinner with his fork and samples my dinner, grunts and has another forkfull before commenting on the taste of it, sometimes he gives it the thumbs up but other times he will show his disgust.
Do these people act like this at home I wonder?
Are all Irish people ignorant when it comes to feeding time?
Do you have issues in your canteen at work and what action have you taken?

Why would you let him do that?

Tell him to fuck off and leave your food alone.

Those things are pretty bad alright Lando, esp yerman sampling your dinner! I'd tell him to fcuk off as soon as his gaze turned towards it! Thats the height of ignorance.

I think he works in the azoo.

Problem solved.

I solved problems like these by avoiding the canteen.

You'd think you would learn your lesson after the first one :rolleyes:

Minstrel27

Why lift by the lid?

Why allow someone to repeatedly taste your dinner?

Dr Strange

To

1) Meh

2) Learn from your first experience and do not lift bottles and cartons by the lid

3) Fork stuck in hand of anyone trying to steal my lunch.

There was a guy who was the scabbiest fcuker on the planet working with me for a while ,he wouldn't buy his own chips in the canteen because we were getting some.I told him to fcuk off on more than one occasion and he replied "well yous are gonna leave a few on all your plates so I don't need to buy them" I remember going up to get a cup of coffee and when I got back he was tucking into my chicken ,no shame like!

Douse it with something that would really disgust him.

Though I was thinking more along the lines of something with Hellman's consistency.

Think thread title is a little over the top :rolleyes:

From hell - no
Very annoying - yes

The day the guy from exhibit C arrives in with shit stained fingers and starts prodding your spag bol with them we can review and call it co-workers from hell!

In my old job there were set menus, so this huge auld one would order mile high portions and have separate plates of the free extras such as chips etc. She would always be in front of me too, so I would have to wait for them to cook more.:mad:

My neighbour experienced a fella like that. This lad would rob one of his sandwiches every day and eat it like he had every right in the world to. So one day, the neighbour took a slice of bread to his arse, deposited a generous sh1te onto said bread, placed another slice on top and cut it in half. He brought it to work the next day and yerman fell for the trap, stole a sh1t sandwich, and took a huge bite! Needless to say that sorted the problem out!!!!

I once made Chicken Pasta bake and added some grated ginger to it, he found it disgusting.

Do you have issues in your canteen at work and what action have you taken?

1: Have a word with the lad.
2: Pick up stuff properly.
3: Seriously......

So in conclusion..... Actually I don't have a conclusion but your complaints are daft and could easily be resolved in two seconds.

A guy who worked in the same factory as me years ago used to do the same, how disgusting!

I also can't abide people who are going to make a cup of tea but on the way stop off for a piss/shite/****/finger of fudge on the way and bring the cup into the bog with them....leave the fooking cup outside!!!

You have a neighbour that sh*ts in sandwiches and brings them to work with him?

Surely the smell from a sh*t sandwich would tip anyone off about this ingenious 'trap'. Did the thieving co-worker and everyone else in the workplace have absolutely no sense of smell?

I think you should not neccessarily believe every single story your neighbour tells you.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would resort to ****ting on a slice of bread and feeding it to a co-worker before they'd actually just say "stay the **** away from my lunch".

That is why it's unbelievable and patently not true!
If he'd stopped at the wiping bread along his hole bit he might have got away with it but he couldn't stop himself and started billy bullshittin' to make the story more 'exciting' and that's where it all fell to pieces!

I pissed in my carton of milk before because someone kept using it and leavin it out on the counter to go stale before my lunch(despite numerous threatening notes stuck to the fridge), and even I couldn't imagine someone doin that.

Kiith

Pissed in a milk carton and **** in a sandwich....and you're complaining about horrible co-workers?

What the fcuk are you on about? The lad made a sh1t sandwich and the knacker who kept robbing them took a bite out of one and learned his lesson. I could post names, fcuk it I'll PM you the names and addresses of the two lads if you want. Unbelievable:mad:

Wouldn't say he cares that much to be honest.

kfallon

Why would I want their names and addresses???
Plus the guy who ate the sambo would hardly be too willing to come forward and say, "Yes that was me, 100% I got caught out, I ate the krud sambo!" to a complete stranger!

It was my milk, if they stayed away from other peoples lunch there'd be no problem.

I want the name and address of the guy who has no sense of smell. My brother is a research scientist and he needs people who although in possession of all of their senses patently ignore what those senses are telling them and go through with mind-numbingly stupid actions (like biting into something that smells of sh*t).

His paper when published is going to be called:

"Ignoring the facts: A study in who people ignore their senses and believe bullsh*t."
