... oh dear, what have I done lol

One of the guys at work occasionally asks one of the others to bid on Ebay things for him. Last night it was mentioned he was bidding on a watch. Only a tenner, a NEXT watch.

Anyway I got the item number out of them, and at the last minute, outbid him and won.

Naturally I made sure they knew about it.

Today I come into work, and the guy wont even look at me, let alone speak to me. lol

The plan is to wait til it arrives, pretend I love it, then finally give it to him as a gift...

However, if we are still working in the same office when it arrives is another matter haha. He has taken it REALLY badly, and is sulking like a baby.

Now my reason for doing it was £10 is a small price to see him sulk, but his reaction today is so priceless, that im just gonna drag it out. The right thing to do would be to tell him whats going on, but I wanna get value for my money.

Jamz3k

**** him and get the best out of him.

I got a ball chewing from my MD after getting one of my new members of staff to listen to Vanilla ICE and asked him what he thought of it. He said it was bullsh1t to which i replied EXACTLY! followed by "Don't tell customers bullsh1t its bad for business, do you want to be known as Vanilla ICE"
Needless to say everyone thought it was fantastic as the guy was really embarrassed over it and have to say the ball chewing was worth it completely

Unprofessional? me sir? no SIR!

Snazy

lol he is a tight ****er anyway, so im getting every pennies worth out of him
I dont expect to get repremanded for this, pretty relaxed office really.

Make it known you dont really like it when it comes and you are going to put it back on e-bay but with a higher reserve. Will allow you to stretch it out a bit longer and see how upset he gets.

You evil man, i do like your style though.

I would get a glass of water and then say to him "I bought a cheap watch as I wanted to see how long one of this type can stay submerged till it breaks" and then stick it in the glass

Ask him the time everytime you see him

RUDDY

put the face of the watch underneith his chair leg so when he sits down he smashes it

fast bloke

Tell him you don't like it but you are putting it back on e-bay for 20 quid

Snazy

lol loving some of the suggestions here, did think I might execute it with a club hammer when I bring it into work
But given some of the ideas here, I might drag it out.

He STILL has not spoken to me, other than to announce 2 phone calls.

Even when I say something to the office for a group discussion, you see his eyes light up with something to say, then just stares at the screen lol



GIRL!

hectic

pmsl

Snazy

The things you do when your bored and in a bad mood eh.
He just spoke his first sentance of the day to me, reluctantly.
Think that will be the last too.

Might bring it in and say I got it, but think it looks cheap and ****, much more his thing, and give it to him

pslewis

Best bet would be to say that you have been told it is a collectors item, worth abot £200 ...... you are going to re-list it .. ask him if he would like to 'buy it now' for £200??

Snazy

Classy, but its from NEXT... would have to make a good story up about that one.

pslewis

Was a limited edition run wasn't it? Only a few made it into the stores, the van transporting them from the manufacturer got washed away in the floods .......... only 50 ever made it into the stores and it is now known as the 'flood piece' and extremely highly sought after

The Snug Rhino

Blend it.

RUDDY

lol the lesser flood piece watch! exchanging hands for up to 700 dollars in the US!

STi wanna Subaru

Is there a bird in the office he fancies? If so get her to come in one morning in plain view and hand you the watch announcing you left it at hers last night...

evil sods


Like it

oldsplice

I love this one ..........really mean!...poor bugger

Snazy

lol I like it, but sadly not. Would be classy otherwise, as im sure Vicky would do it just for laughs.

lol@ the van washed away by the floods, trust you to think of something like that Pete. You and your imagination

am i the only one that feels sorry for this guy, or i have i missed something about him being a ******* in the past.

STi wanna Subaru

Just him not having the gumption to bid on said item for himself. It's hardly life or death and the guys have had a bit of fun which he's taken way too seriously. fair game to learn a life lesson I'd say.

Snazy

Spot on mate

COB, he is 51 years old and old enough and wise enough to know when someone is pissin him about.
He loves it when others are the butt of jokes, never anything too nasty but all the same

If the watch arrives tomorrow im gonna record "what happens next" lol Cant resist.

If he still dont see the funny side of it, I will just give the watch to the boss as a gift, cos he hates him

chocolate_o_brian

iTrader: (22)

ah well explained, but please call me andy.

Snazy

Sorry, Andy

its a typical office really, loads of jokes going on, some can take it, others cant.
He likes popping in snide comments, when he thinks he is getting away with it, bit of a racist too lol, so deserves everything he has coming to him.

Snazy

Day 2, will he be talking to me yet?
The watch has not arrived at mine yet, so I cant do a "reveal" today, so another day of silence?. Could I be so lucky

Off to work now, lets see

Snazy

Oh dear, still not talking to me lol

if its a relaxed office, pre warn your workmates, exept him, and walk round with a womans bra hanging from your pocket, in full view to him. all of your workmates obviously not seeing anything...

To really rub it in, ask him if he can call the speaking clock for you and tell you the time.
