Dirty Bastards:
So I was sitting at my desk today in work and we received an email from the lovely Amy who is our Health & Safety Rep telling us all about the new canteen duty rota, we have a cleaner but the way that the canteen is left is totally manky and I feel so sorry for her to have to clean up after some of the dirtbags who work here, they leave coffee grounds and teabags in the sink (this I don?t understand?do they think that its going to set the bin on fire or something?) also plates with food on them, bowls with mouldy cereal encrusted on them and they NEVER put anything into the dishwasher, I think they should have a camera in there to catch the dirty culprits but my idea has been turned down for some reason (!!). Basically they have come up with this roster thing that we all have to stick to which means that we have to clean up the canteen after these individuals who feel the need to walk past the bin, then past the dishwasher, to leave their (unstacked) crockery on the draining board. They also seem to have some sort of mental issue with putting milk back into the fridge. Old milk + hot coffee / tea = dry wretching from me. Do you think they would give me a sick day for that, they should!! I am annoyed about this roster thing, I am planning to stage a protest of some sort about it, one good thing though, when I am on ?duty? I am on holidays, so they can stick their roster up their arse!

Have you thought of actually mentioning it to the culprits? Like saying:
"Would you mind awfully putting your cup in the dishwasher and the milk in the fridge, or is your mother a whore who never taught you manners and etiquette, you messy c**t?"
Or something like that. If everyone was to say it, I'm sure they'd learn soon enough. And they should definitely be the first ones on the rota, and should be made to plan their holidays around their kitchen-cleaning duties. I can see it now:
"Boss, can I take three weeks to spend my SSIA in Australia?"
"Yes, but only if you come back every Tuesday to clean the kitchen"

Yeah see, people just deny all knowledge, and I go on my breaks earlier so that I don't have to talk to the losers and also have actual space to eat! So I never really see the culprits, although, I have witnessed the MD (!!!) putting the gicky teabags in the sink, and also not cleaning up after himself, he must be REALLY important (or really something anyway)
