Also, a couple of years ago someone set up an eBay account using my email address, again pretty sure it was accidental. She bid on some things so it was a bit of a pain getting the account closed down.

People who pick your printing up off the printer and walk off with it. Please look at what you are picking up before you walk off!

Fridge etiquette, or rather the lack of it.

Three different offices* share our little kitchen area, and again I've had to be the one to put a passive aggressive note on a tub of pasta that has been in there for several weeks that is now green and stinking. I would just bin it, but it's in a good quality plastic tub that the owner might want back.

It wasn't so long ago I had to get rid of several pint bottles of 'cottage cheese'. Yuk.

*as in three different companies, not three departments of the same company.

[My ex-company had a policy - the fridges would be emptied/binned each Friday night - no matter what. People soon got the hang of it. There were very big signs on the fridge doors]

Cackleberry, can you have yourself appointed as the lead person for food hygiene or something like that? Then you can make the rules and throw out all the manky stuff.
