My clerk really wound me up today

For months has been bringing into work his wet washing to dry (he switches on the radiators) so downstairs we have his whol families washing, underwear and everything. Other people in the building
Laugh it off but it really winds me up, especially when we have some important people visit our building as well as the general public.

I have since discovered other little things such as charging his rechargeable batteries, charging his phone, showers in the office shower so he doesn’t have to pay for the water at home, takes compost from the office wormery etc but what I found out today is just plain stupid!!

He brings in empty water bottles and fills them up and then cycles them home again so he can water his plants. He told me he did it because our building isn’t on a water meter and his home is!!!

He is a very clever man and could do a lot more than being a clerk to me but chooses not too. His wife currently works for four hours a week at the library and chooses to home educate their children. So money is obviously tight but through their own choosing.


I just couldn’t get over the water thing, it just really shocked me. Anyone else know anyone like this?

 

sounds like a right pikey cunt or even worse an 'alternative'

 

i know someone exactly the same..he even takes toilet rolls home from the bogs.

 

LOL, he sounds like a fella I used to work with.

He used to take 2 flasks of water out of the Urn in work so he didn't have to boil his kettle

It takin the piddle tho taking water home. Thats why people get wages to pay for it lol.

 

I had better start to monitor the number of toilet rolls in the cupboard. lol

If there is any food left over from a lunch meeting we normally send an email out for people to come and help themselves, he empties his lunchbox and fills it full for his tea!!

 

Should name him Door Hinge.

 

id have to go out of my way to make his life difficult like start binning the food ect....

 

Most people at work think it is funny, but I just find it annoying!!

 

what a fucking tramp

 

Put a sandwhich in the bin and see if it's still there at the end of the day

 

lol

 

 

I know someone that says it's econ to do a shit at work because not only do you save on toilet roll your getting payed too

 

Least i'm not the only one

 

Bless him!

Probably just trying to save himself some pennies and it wouldn't have even occurred to him that he could possibly be winding anybody up in the process.

He is probably the nicest guy in the world but just abit quirky!

Leave the poor guy alone you evil cow!

 

And people say im tight lol

Was one of the first pieces of advice I recieved as an apprentice.

Shortly followed by "but it's better to go when on overtime cos then you get paid more for it"

Spud

 

what a cunt, he should join this wasteful consumer society with the rest of us

 

Fair enough I say! I wash my car at work, if I am dying for a shit in the morning I wait until I get to work (may as well do it and get paid for it) and just general pilfering of cleaning products etc.

The good old saying is, if you can't beat them, join them! Do the same yourself! Put the pennies in a pot that you have saved and at the end of the year, I bet you will be surprised!

My mum is even worse, if she goes to a resturant, she fills her handbag with sauce sachets on the way out, and when she goes to the supermarket she will help herself to a handbag full of plastic bags that you use to put your loose fruit and veg in

 

having a dump on site and getting paid for it .i remember those times not anymore

does that bloke squeek when he walks ?

 

Theres being thrifty and theres being an arrogant tight bastard bringing in wet washing to dry in a public or business is crossing the line imho and good arguement for theft of company resources.

 

that would piss me off too, i would steal his clothes and wear his wives bra

 

he is either a nutter thats really tight

or he is in serious money trouble

 

i dont see anything wrong with it, well except the clothes drying part - thats just weird

hes just saving some money, whats the point in spending more than you have to????

 

I had my gaffer tell me the same about 3 month's ago

 

Rich.....all of that bar washing the car FFS

 

I bet she uses them as her deal bags doesn't she

 

Trampiness! Stealing sauce sachets, taking bog rolls from work etc!!!!!

Some people just have no shame!

 

is he scottish???

does a 50p hit him on the back of the head as it drops??

 

Agreed


Not on...... if this was my business it would be instant dismissal.

A place where clients and customers are with someones washing on the radiators.

No way.
