Re: Trivial Grumblings
We share our mess room at work with 2 (soon to be 3) other sections and our mugs kept getting used by others, occasionally even being taken across to the smoking area and disappearing from the kitchen entirely - not good when you want a brew!! This is why some of us stopped washing our mugs after finishing our tea or coffee, mysteriously our mugs stopped getting taken

Re: Trivial Grumblings
When the first brews are made int he morning, we keep a hold of our mugs anyway, and just fill up whenever anyone brews up.
This morning a few of us arrived slightly later (8.30 is about when the first of us show up), and the new neighbours must have had a visitor in or something, as by second brew up, those of us who hadn't had one yet found our mugs were missing!
So by swiping our own mugs when we first get in might stop them being lifted, we still have the issue of the Dowe Egberts being used up!

Re: Trivial Grumblings
Mugs were the bane of my life when I was a cleaner at Sony. No one washed up shit or even put it in the dishwasher and left it all to me, despite it not being my job because I can only assume they deemed it 'below them'. They also dropped teabags on the floor near the bin and left them there. Cunts.
I would never ever fucking expect someone to do my washing up for me, whether it was their job or not, it's the principle. It takes what, 10 seconds to rinse and dry a mug?

EGGY BREAD! That shit is amazing.
Re: Trivial Grumblings
Mate, I put some gingerbread syrup (the one for coffees) into the egg. Holy shit. This is AMAZING.

A similar thing happened with me in halls last year, I was the only person who actually washed up after using something so my stuff kept getting taken and then when I stopped washing it up it stopped getting taken, although by then half of it had been stolen for good.

IT'S FRENCH TOAST. Whenever I hear it being called eggy bread it totally puts me off eating it. I don't care if that's what it consists of.
Re: Trivial Grumblings
I can only ever read "French Toast" in an American accent. I feel like I'm being sold breakfast. I just want eggy bread.
If it sounds good, listen to it

Re: Trivial Grumblings
I have a wine tasting class later which I'd normally look forward to, but I'm ill and would rather just stay in bed all day.

Probably. I've never watched it.
