Office Etiquette 09:50 - May 19 with 9010 views | JimmyJazz | Office workers who consistently arrive and proceed to start eating cereal. Why don't you do that at home like anyone else? No problem with someone who's bought a breakfast bap on the way in | |

Office Etiquette on 09:56 - May 19 with 4118 views | hoppy | Thank you. You've just reminded me - I haven't had anything yet, after getting Yasmin to school and into the office, I'd forgotten. Off to make some scrambled egg and bacon on toast now. | |

Office Etiquette on 10:06 - May 19 with 4077 views | Sarge | You should do as many traditionally home based tasks at work as you can get away with. That way you get to work earlier, crucially you can leave earlier and then you waste less of your life in a soulless box surrounded by suits, printers and thoughts of suicide. | | | |

Baps are ok but cereals arent? on 10:07 - May 19 with 4070 views | usm | Think we need some clarification here. What about bacon sarnies ? Greek yogurt and fruit ? Tacos? Salted Porridge? Danish Pastries? | |

I do as many household activities as possible so it's on the companies time and I am getting paid to do so. Eat Breakfast, take a dump.. even some online banking and general admin etc. Got some disparaging looks when I was hand-washing my laundry in the kitchen sink the other day though, so might have found my limit | | | |

Not sure really, but when it's done as the norm it's a strange choice. Even weirder is that it's all nicely prepared in a Tupperware container, so it took some time to prepare and isn't a 'I don't have time to eat before work' thing. No problem with stuff bought from a shop on the way in. | |

We are allowed to include Crunchy Nut and Frosties under the umbrella of 'corn flakes', aren't we? | |

Maybe some commute in and get up at 5am so dont want to eat at that time in the morning? Im up at 5:15 and don't feel hungry then, i dont eat cereal at my desk though! | | | |

Office Etiquette on 10:44 - May 19 with 3831 views | FenboyBlue | There's 2 40 something blokes at our place have 2 or 3 bowls of cereal throughout the morning, sometimes into the afternoon. Using up a lot of the milk meant for hot drinks. And they never go out for more milk if we run out either. It's selfish & weird. It's not like they're on minimum wage. Can't be good for the body either to have that much cereal AFTER you've done your commute. | | | |

It's going to be harder to concentrate on that message board time when there is cricket on though. | |

If they were eating something smelly I'd understand, but not sure why cereal bothers you. I've just had a well-known popular cereal at my desk... but that's only because we're bidding for their business and we have a box of free packets. | |
