And two pages, no less, of replies to this fecking toss!

In the words of the dear departed Peter Cook:

Now is the time to say Goodbye
Now is the time to yield a sigh (yield it, yield it)
Now is the time to wend our waaaayeeeeee
Until we meet again
Some sunny day.

Goodbye
Goodbye
We're leaving now,
Tattybye
Goodbye
We wish you all goodbye
Fartatata, fartatata..

Wish him luck as you wave him goodbye, cheerio, there he goes, on his way.

Have been doing it for years. Any other contractors familiar with this behaviour at your desk?

Someone flicked one at me once in college and it landed on my bottom lip.

I can't put into words the sense of panic you feel when someone's nose litter is mm away from your mouth. Needless to say I completely wigged out whilst everyone else ripped up.

I was like the bloke out of RoboCop before he gets shot by ED-209 in the board room, with everyone pushing me away in case the gronker leapt off my lip onto them.

Excellent analogy.

Reminds me of the time I was flicking small pieces of blue tack about the staff rec room at a place I worked at as a student. Got my mate plum on the bottom lip. He quitely gazed down, removed the blue tack and carried on with his conversation.

that is very very funny!

Fecking wasn't at the time. Almost 20 years ago and I'm clearly still traumatised by it.

On the wall


I've seen that twice, both in different offices of the same client. I even got one of the staffers to raise it formally at their "job satasfaction forum" thingy.

It's the most disgusting thing in the world and if I ever catch anyone in the act I'm going to drown them in the bowl.

Many many many years ago in a fit of young imature pique, I stuck one of my pubic hairs to the inside mouth piece of my boss's phone - never did get to know if got to much it.

No I tend to make sure they don't see me, especially if I'm hungry!

Ewww ... that was you? What about all the other bogeys that remain there? It seems reasonable to assume that we are talking about the same office given that I've never seen this bizarre habit take place anywhere else in my life.

It was a one off survey ! What colour is it now ? I haven't inspected it for a year or so.

Yes and I wish people would do it at their own desks

And don't get me started on breaking wind

[chicane]

At my last contract I stuck a sizeable bogey on the toilet wall above a urinal to see how long it took the cleaners to remove it, it was still there 6 months later and still possibly there. Outsourced cleaning services obviously.
