Bojimha Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Hello everyone. I started a new job in June and I have my own office which only myself and a handful of others can use their swipe cards to get into. After dropping my mobile phone i crawled under the desk to pick it up and noticed a big bottle of Glenmorangie whiskey which was sealed in a tube and surrounded by unwrapped xmas paper. I have no idea who it belongs to and I assume it has been there for 2 months minimum (more like December hence the xmas paper!). Shall I take it or leave it, as it was obviously a present for someone but has been left behind? If I'm honest it is not the morality i am too bothered about (though I guess a little bit), more worried about what do i say if someone asks if I know where it is in the future! Should I plead ignorance and let someone else potentially take the blame. So should I A) Stop being a big wuss, Take it and get wrecked at the house party I am going to on Friday night and pretend i don't know anything about it if questioned. B) Leave it to be discovered by its rightful owner.

Guest Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 I'm honest, so I would ask around to see of it belonged to anyone else. Sorry.
samingram_uk Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Tell the man what he wants to hear... Take it
Raj Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 I'm teetotal so do what the fcuk you want with it,i couldn't give a fcuk!!!
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 I'm honest, so I would ask around to see of it belonged to anyone else.Sorry. If he does that though, he'll never be able to take it, regardless of whether anyone says it is theirs. It will go into a raffle or something! or the gaffer/top brass will swipe I say make the steal, drink it and enjoy it, it's yours now
THEBIGJOHNSTEADER; Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Or could it be a test of your honesty, the bosses are waiting in anticipation
Rossatron Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 take it but dont drink it, see if anything is said over the next week or so, if something is said, say u moved it and bring it bk, but if not its all youursss!
samingram_uk Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Or take it, and if any one asks, blame the cleaning ladie
davieG Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Be patient put in a lockable draw and wait, it'll only get better with a bit of age. When a decent amount a mourning time has passed or if you hand in your notice/get sacked/made redundant take it with you.
Daggers Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Drink it and then sue your employer for not having taken reasonable precautions to prevent you becoming incapacitated through alcohol.
Bojimha Posted 13 August 2007 Author Posted 13 August 2007 Drink it and then sue your employer for not having taken reasonable precautions to prevent you becoming incapacitated through alcohol. Ha ha I like this one but I think I'm gonna go with davieG's advice!
Geo V Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Ive a few options for you. I hope this helps. 1. Find the best looking girl in the office and make her work over-time with you. Phone the work phone from your mobile and pick it up so she thinks its an actual call. Do a superb bit of acting and make out that you had some terrible news and start crying. She will console you. Move in and kiss her. Whip out the booze and sup it together and finish the night by porking her over the table. 2. Position it behind the desk and then walk in and trip up over it. Threaten the firm with legal action. I`d personally go for option 1 as you`ll sample the drink and get the finest lass in the office thrown in.

Pete_foxes Posted 13 August 2007 Posted 13 August 2007 Well.. this isn't the right thing to do, but i'd take it without even thinking about it. The way i'd do it is think can anybody know it was me who took it.. if the answers no then i'd take it. Although wrong thats what i'd do
