What a place to work

I've worked with some absolute showers, but none so despicable that they'd borrow another chap's mug.

Not borrowing as such but I have 3/4 filled a particularly anal colleagues mug with silicone (spoon set in situ) and topped off with tea.

Might have glued it down too, can't remember.

when I start a new contract I normally have to go to the kitchen cupboard and select a mug

it usually isn't obvious that some of them are "owned" and others are not

Where I worked many decades ago the trick was to wait until someone had left their fresh mug of tea/coffee, partially super glue the bottom of the mug to the desk and then top it up with water so the tea/coffee was just below the brim.

One forgetful colleague could never remember where he had left his tea mainly because everyone else had got into the habit on seeing his unattended mug would move it from the kitchen area to his desk, or visa versa.

But as it's ASDA there'll always be plenty of new ones out on the shelves ...

I do hope B&Q don't have the same attitude to staff toilets

Another thing you can do to a Mug is drill a small hole in the bottom using a 1mm or similar sized drill. Then fill the hole with something temperature sensitive like chocolate. A hot beverage will melt the chocolate but there is usually enough time for the mug to reach the place where the owner puts it down after which it leaks a tiny amount and makes a constant small puddle on thier desk or whatever.

It couldn't have been that bad working there, they got cake!

A strange thing about mugs,if there is a cupboard full of coloured mugs ,and a spotless white one,it will be the first one grabbed,but very few buy white mugs.

I can confirm from todays work that Lutterworth has at least two colleague canteens:-)

Are they where you go to eat the colleagues who didn't make the grade?
