FabSwingers.com forum: Mystery of the disappearing milk

By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

I run a Milk Club at work.

There are 8 people in it, 5 on one floor and 3 on another, so milk is bought for both floors.

4 pints for the 3 which lasts over a week.

6 pints was bought a week yesterday, had to buy another 4 on Thursday and have had to buy another 6 today for the floor where the 5 who use it work.

So 10 pints has been used for tea and coffee in just over a week

Give some ideas where you think the milk has disappeared to

I have never seen anyone taking it who shouldn’t.

Could be a reason but most drink coffee or tea. Can smell hot chocolate

Probably by someone not in the Milk Club.

I’ve said I’m going to be taking fingerprints and mugshots of everyone

I sent a gentle reminder email round today so hopefully that might make them feel guilty.

I like my colleagues, and I wonder if any are struggling financially and taking some home because they can’t afford to buy any.

I wouldn’t have you running my milk club. You obviously don’t run a tight ship

More likely they can't be bothered to stop at the shops on way home

So they siphon milk into another bottle? Seems more hassle than just buying a bottle

We have fucking loads of emails regarding work, hundreds a day.

They’re not important though.

Milk being stolen is extremely important

Nope. I was putting my own delicious lunch in the fridge and moved the very sensitive lady's sandwich a couple of centimetres to the left. It was sandwichageddon

I knew it was bread. I suppose wonder bread was the equivalent to a wank in the bread-sex equivalent chart.

We have builders currently working on our site that keep coming in and helping themselves to our tea, coffee, milk and sugar, and the scruffs don't even put it away or close the fridge door afterwards!
