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

Cheek? Why?

I doubt there's a microwave on a building site.

You people have some strange issues.


Of course they have microwaves on building sites ffs !

We always used to have one in our 'tea hut'

Now i just sit under a tree munching bananas.

On the subject of encouragement and making the staff feel loved on my last Christmas bash,which was in fairness a decent affair as were a big organisation, it was apparent that the high level managers had been been instructed to mingle with the proles, show a bit of interest and go table to table for a chat.

Cue the most uncomfortable hour of both theirs and our evenings.


Totally understand that.

I'm a 50 yo bloke with a team who work for me, mostly made up of under-35s. I make a specific point, at most leaving dos, Xmas drinks, any kind of social basically, to make an appearance, pay for a drink or two and then leave them to enjoy their time without my company. The last thing they want is for me to hang around, cramping their style etc.

This made me laugh...

All of this depend on where you work. There are certain companies *cough* Spotify *cough* Google *cough* who supply free breakfast, lunch and dinner for all of their employees.

I assume the aim is to make staff feel loved and encourage them to feel they can get in earlier and go home later, but it doesn't always work that way. I've seen staffers there walking to their desks with a big bowl of Frosties after getting into the office at 10.15am. Which is taking the proverbial...


A friend of mine works for Amazon, they have beer fridges in the office which are great in theory but no-one will actually go and use them. I imagine it just makes one thirsty.

Some of his colleagues definitely treat it as a cult apparently.

What do you even mean "too wet for desk consumption"? I often have soup at my desk without any problems whatsoever.


Madness. It's like eating a slice of watermelon on the tube. There's something just wrong about it.

Perhaps this comes down to office culture. I've never worked anywhere where they'd have been ok with it. I also enjoy going to sit in my car at lunch time away from everyone else so the thought of sitting down at my desk to eat soup/cereal seems like genuine madness to me.

Each to their own. You animal.

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.


I cycle or run in to the office and don't really fancy doing it on a full stomach, so I make a batch of bircher muesli for the week and then take a portion in a tub everyday.

I do get in the office 30 mins or so before the rest of my team though.

To be clear; anyone who rocks up at the office and eats breakfast at their desk is scum. Anyone who eats at their desk FULL STOP is scum. Anyone who stinks the office out with food is scum. Anyone who eats loudly is scum. Anyone who eats in view of other people not eating, theyre scum.
People who put their salty chocolatey hands all over the printer or door handles or communal stapler, scum. Subhuman scum.
