Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

People at work leaving the communal areas scruffy and not washing communal pots properly.

I hate cleaning and will use the same plate/dish for several days to avoid washing it, but while dirty it stays on my desk and when I do wash it, it's done properly with no 'bits' left behind.
*shudder*

(Thinking I might buy myself a set of cutlery and crockery to use if it continues.)

I hated that people would put stuff in the staff Room dishwasher unrinsed and then also not put it on so after a few days it was stinky!

I had my own coffee mug with my name on it. Mind you it was easy to get one with my surname on it! 😂

Office air-conditioning on in November. Actually... any time of the year... but November?!

[Our office is like a sauna today. I've been in short sleeves all day. (Usually have to wear a jumper when the aircon is running in Summer, though!)

I think someone left the heating on overnight.... ;) ]

I’m getting a bit sick of the adverts for Apricot stuff from parkrun. Three in one day is too much.
