just for a bit of a laugh...

we have a horrible old bint in work, she's on a good wage, but takes the p*ss everyday, hands all her work over, stitches everyone up and is a real tight fisted ole cow!

anyway, over the last few months we have noticed that milk is being stolen form the fridge, whole 2 pint bottles, we've narrowed it down to every Friday just before SHE leaves. she takes the tea towels home to wash but when she collects them from the kitchen she grabs a fresh bottle of milk and rolls it up in the teatowel, but she was spotted. last week...

we want to oust her good and proper, the crap suggestions round the office so far have been...

1 - carefully inject the milk with 'eye drops' this is suppose to induce really bad Diarrhea

2 - write a note with suitable 'ransom' typeface along the lines of THIEF!! WE KNOW YOU ARE STEALING THE MILK! fold it up and put it under the cap, so when she goes home and makes a cup of tea she will see the note.

the sad thing is management will just tell us to get on with our work (which we actually do) as its more important if we raise the issue....

Put some laxatives into the milk, that'll teach her! Annoying though when you all pay and she's a tight fi**d bi!

What's that general anaesthetic that looks very much like milk?

Leave a couple of bottles out of the fridge for a few days, then replace.

Make some of your own "milk". A gentlemans magazine might come in handy for the production phase.

use some silicon sealant to glue the botles together to anything else you can fit in the fridge, or use silicon to connect a bit of almost invisible fishing twine to one bottle, and then link it to other bottles etc, so when she pulls one the lot comes out.

I like the note under the cap bit. Thing is, if there's only one bottle left, does she still take it?

D'oh, just put a note under them all I suppose.

Better yet,

Tell her on monday, in passing, that you're aware that someone's been stealing the milk but don't know who it is, so one of the lads added his 'special sauce' to the bottle last friday, isn't that hilarious!

You don't actually need to doctor the milk, she just needs to think you have.

a simple "the whole office knows you stealing, you've been seen doing it. now nobody trusts or respects you" should do the trick.

I got a talking to on something similar from da management.

The notice I put on the fridge was something like.

"Due to my milk being stolen on a regular basis I have carried out an experiment over the last few weeks where certain milk containers have been doctored. The question you need to ask yourself is am I taking the piss or have you been ?"

Maybe just hide the tea towels every friday so she can't smuggle to milk out. See if she improvises.

Put something gross eg plastic turd or false teeth in the milk, she won't see it until she gets near the bottom............

At around the time she would do this on a Friday, go and get all the milk out of the fridge and put it on your desk, or share the bottles out equally amongst the rest of you..

Smile at her sweetly.

She'll get the message.

buy some milk, give it to her on friday with a note signed by everyone saying 'we've noticed you stealing the milk, we're sorry we didnt recognise the situation you must be in at home so wanted to club together and help out in some way... if you ever need more milk please let us know as we can do a whip-round again, that milk from the fridge is usually used as part of a practical joke between the guys and we dont want to worry about you drinking half the offices semen again'

Burst in when she's getting the towels out, grab a bottle and down it.
A nice refreshed "AAAAHHHHH" and milky smile when finished.

does she get paid for washing the tea towels? maybe she just considersd the free milk her payment

if she does get paid you should just follow her home and stab her in front of her family. that'll learn her. learn her good.

Take the lid off and cut 90% of the neck off with a stanley knife so it's hardly held on, when she puts it down on it's side in her car it'll burst open, sour milk smells lovely in a hot car interior.....

scrape her face off with a hammer drill then beat her to death with your penis, it's what a real man would do.

1. Being boring and sensible, you've just suggested an act of assault. Probably not a good idea.

2. Much more effective.

3. Everyone follow her into the kitchen when she goes in for the tea towels.

4. Everyone buys a 2 litre bottle of milk and then leave all of them on her desk, saying "you only needed to ask xxx"

Don't know about you, but at my place I don't want pints of milk left in the fridge over the weekend, so anyone who wants it on Friday PM can have it or else it goes down the sink.

More significantly I found the best way to avoid the excess was to order less milk.

What would happen to the milk if she didn't take it? Are you being an arse over a quids worth of milk, why does it bother you is there some kind of milk famine in your area?

I suppose you could follow her home, bludgeon her to death and then put her remains through a woodchipper that seems proportional.

Never taken a desk calculator for home? Some pens? Made a personnal call? How about thrown a sicky?

As above, it'll only go to waste let the old battle axe have it/them... What will she be like after you have outted her??

This will blow up in your face.

Our fridge gets emptied by the cleaners on Friday afternoon, and we bring our own milk.

Punch her in the face. Easiest solution. Don't even explain it.

If you really want to do something, I'd suggest the note on the fridge. Doing something to the milk could really cause problems and make things very difficult for her any everyone else.

Something on the fridge that says we are all aware milk is being stolen, we know who it is but just want it to stop. Could even include things like we know the raffle gets fixed every year etc...

She may not be a nice person but you really don't want to have her complaining that the rest of the workforce are bullying her - the note doesn't allow this unless she admits to the theft.

Cravendale milk lasts ages, no problem leaving it in the fridge over the weekend.

At the right time on Friday I would pop in with a tea towel I had to add to the ones she is taking home, "Here's one I forgot to put in the kitchen. No problem if I put it in with the others? Oh, look there's a pint of milk slipped in there too. Better put it back in the fridge before it gets warm, eh."

If she has any underlying health issues, doing anything to the milk could have implications. That being said, I would tend to favour philconsequences solution, just as a warning like.

On Friday, just before she goes to collect the tea towels, go into the kitchen and start folding them for her, then just as you're finishing grab the milk from the fridge & wrap it up in the tea towels with a cheery "oops, almost forgot that!, there you go, have a lovely weekend" ...

STOP THE PRESSES!

I've worked out her game. It's nothing to do with milk, you've fallen for a classic bit of misdirection.

The question you really need to be asking is, how many tea-towels are we missing?

philscons takes milk seriously.

Personally who gives a crap this clearly is about the fact she's not liked and not about the Milk!

Have a party for her on a Friday afternoon and get to love her rather than hate her, you'll all die happier 🙂

Never such large, capital equipment as a calculator but, the others.... silly really, it's my business 🙂

anyways, moving on...
i'd go with a version of you #2
note under lid to read either

'BOO!'

or
with apologies to Dirty Harry
'we know what you're thinking, did we add laxatives or did we not add laxatives - go ahead, love, make a brew...'

or, 5 mins before she's due to go, pop into the kitchen and pop a gift label around the neck of the bottle 'have a lovely weekend'

Oooh, I've got one.

If it's a clear bottle, take a photo of you dipping your c*ck in the milk (doesn't have to actually be that bottle of milk), takeen so you can't see that its you. Then unpeel the label on the bottle, tuck it inside facing inwards, and re stick the label, then when she is about halfway down....BOOM!!!

@project - that's the best one that you could actually do. Glueing about 2m of fishing line to a toy rat would be my choice.

Phenolphthalein? Courts take a dim view of poisoning.

Green food colouring worked for a friend at Uni. As he says - "no one ever steals green milk."

"no one ever steals green milk."

There's two problems with this.

1) is that people instead throw away perfectly good green milk (though I grant you, this won't have been a problem encountered by your student friend), and

2) is that when you tip it into your brew and then look into your mug, you'd wish someone [i]had [/i]stolen it.

Does anyone suggestion sabotage understand what the penalties for administering poison/substances with the intent of causing harm are? Up to a good few years inside. If you really want Bubba and Billy Ray as cellmates for the forseeable, go right ahead.

Instead of such stupidity, just grow some and confront her with it. No need to want to harm someone over a poxy bottle of milk ffs.

Very possibly. Statistically, bound to be some violent and potentially murderous people on here....

The woman takes the towels home to clean at her own time and expense, takes a bottle of milk. What's the problem?
