Sometimes I envy the self-employed. I've just been to the kitchen at work to make my morning brew, I sticks the kettle on, nip to the ladies whilst it's brewing, to come back and find that the finance manager has re-filled the kettle and is boiling it for the 5 people in her team. It didn't even cross her mind that somebody else might have been boiling the kettle for themselves. Next time I'll leave a flamin note next to the kettle along with my mug and spoon.

:incazzato::incazzato::incazzato:

Kettle wars. Yes we have them too at the factory. 365Drills share a block with 5 other companies and the tea room is battle ground. Have to mark our own mugs. Mark our own sugar. Coffee. Spoons. Even milk. I bought sugar lumps the other month to monitor if any other units were making use of our stuff. Low and behold sugar lumps dissapearing !!

And yes when we put the kettle on and go to the loo its amazing who pops into the room and helps themselves to the fresh hot boiling water. Maybe its a universal war !!

PS: I now take our sugar lumps back into our factory unit. Rather than leave anything in our allocated locker / cupboard.

On the flick side I often pinch a bit of "Unit C's" milk.... They buy 4pint containers so naughty me in "Unit H" going out to the tea room on a rob. I am worse than Anthony Worrall Thomson.

Maybe I will make it up to "Unit C" by putting a pack of biccies into their locker.

T-room wars.

I'm thinking of asking the MD to take on this particular role. My assistant is retiring at the end of next month and he won't let me recruit a replacement, so I might just start a bit of upwards delegating

I prefer decaff coffee :yesnod: I'm sure there was a tea thread somewhere in general chat too. Have a search for it and add yourself to the list of Yorkshire tea drinkers Tom

Had that been on a site, they would have taken the kettle and not just the water Grr.....

 

[Fliselege]

Could have been worse, my mate is in charge of repairs at Hampton Court Palace (as in pencil pusher not grafter, I'll stay on the tools, he's put down the tools and put on loads of weight) all the lads were complaining about a dodgy film on their tea from the urn, turned out the labourer whose mission it was to fill the urn before breaks was boiling his eggs in it. I worked for him for a while, took my thermos...

This is destined for some fun. Not sure if it'd work with your work Grr, but for Richard it would.

Leave your sugar, coffee and milk out. But with the sugar put half and half sugar and salt. With the coffee, half and half coffee and gravy granules. And with the milk, stick the old gone off milk in a new bottle, keep the new milk yourself in a washed out old bottle, and leave them all there marked Unit H - Do Not Use.

Wont be long before they completely avoid all things marked Unit H.

Got a better idea, introduce hot chocolate to the kettle area, swap half chocolate powder for laxatives, and hide all the loo paper

 

[Dan]

I bet you could crush up laxatives in all anyway thinking about it! Sugar, coffee, milk. Stick some in them all. Then go have a long break on the loo yourself so it's not vacant for some time.

we used to have the same arguments when i worked in a factory and one of the lads was cheesed off when his milk kept getting nicked so he wrote on his bottle 'don't drink this as i've spat in it' and put it in the fridge. he came back later for his break and when he got the milk out someone had added 'so have I' :lol: he threw it in the bin.
