"They've run out"

East of Eden, West of Hell

Just at work and overheard an adult member of the facilities team say to another that they'd found half a catering bag of teabags which had "run out" - i.e. the Best Before date has passed. (Not that long passed, either).

Unless they were years old, it's a blinking tea bag, it'll still be grand.

The other day, a lady in a supermarket asked me if some reduced bread rolls would still be OK to eat the next day...

What ridiculous crap have you overheard recently?

(Please tell me its not just stuff which happens around me!)

I would use them, although there could be rules at a place of work which forbids it, maybe they would lose a bit of flavour but that's it.

Yes there are probably rules about teabagging in the workplace

I’ll be the first to say it .. there’s a difference between ‘best before’ and ‘use by’ dates.

The former is advisory the latter is to prevent potential adverse degradation consequences.

So many people think they mean the same thing!

Yeah, but tea bags aren’t going to suddenly become rancid.

The bigger question is how they ever got near their nest before / use by dates … tea drinkers must not have been drinking enough, or clocking up rookie numbers .

Politicians sounding very much like sales people, saying how they're going to make our lives so much better and they're so much better than the other political party.

The tea bags will eventually make your tea taste stale but that’s normally because they’ve not been in an airtight container rather than how old they are OP.

Trust me I’m a good developer

Ps. Most ridiculous thing I hear at work is you have to come to work to get paid. Utterly crazy to me

I had to throw some tea bags away quite recently because they tasted weird after being in the cupboard for so long.

You have to smell everything before eating and drinking it.

I once had a McDees server ask me if I wanted cheese on my cheeseburger

Not overheard but was asked recently, now I work in a cheaper hotel, a posh couple came in and obviously wasn't used to slumming it, they asked for a wake up call (I can't agree to that, I'm not night shift), they asked if we could call the room when they needed waking up, do we have a water fountain (I mean, really it would be useful but I've seen the state of the water tanks and I wouldn't go near them with a barge pole) and then they were looking for a trolley for their stuff...they were half way to their room already with their stuff. Honestly the stuff I get asked lol.

At work we got a call from a different building (same company) and we were asked if the 40 ft trailer we sent them was maybe a little shorter than the others as the last couple of pallets wouldn't fit on properly.

??????????????

Explained they were all the same size and his problem wasn't the trailer but the numpties that were loading it.

Because the very same people are incapable of rotating stock, or allowing the tea bag jar to run down, before topping up with new ones.

PG Tips have switched from their pyramid bags, to the old square ones which the majority of other manufacturers use.

The bottom 1/2 of the tea bag jars have the older bags, the new ones have been piled in on top...

(facepalm)

One that grinds my gears is when a person asks for an example of something, so you tell them a direct example from your own experience and then they dismiss it by responding “do you have any evidence other than your anecdote?”

Winds me up endlessly and you’d be surprised how often it happens.

It's like that in here quite often, you'll give an example of something from experience and you get 'I don't care for anecdotes, I tend to prefer peer reviewed studies' or some other complete toss pot response.

Oh crap!!

My friend's freezer broke down a while back. She lost all of her yellow sticker treasures. She was heart broken

Well, I said I was off FAB for the night, but this one is at my expense.

I'd had a great day in London with an ex, we were shattered, heading back to the hotel, and KFC was singing our names.

I walked up to the counter in my most convincingly manly and commanding way, and said:

"Your 10 piece bucket. How many pieces are in that please?"

My ex gulped like a fish (can he be this stupid?), and the KFC employee quickly recalled Day 2 of customer handling - "Let them realise their own stupidity before engaging".

It was special.

Night night xxxx

Oh Nicky.

You were obviously tired after a busy day...

Let's hope they popped an extra piece in, just for you x

Ok, no one else seems inquisitive, but what is a 24 hour boob job?

Ah thanks!

The health and safety posters about tea-bagging safely would be fantastic though.

Something your average 'mild mannered janitor' wouldn't be getting

(Think its something like saline injections to cause temporary swelling of breast tissue?)
