Because these are always the people who will literally do ANYTHING to avoid doing their actual job!

Turns out she was taking orders for freshly made sandwiches and rolls, which I was advised are both cheap and very nice, so the bell cheese here is me for being a curmudgeonly old ****.

I'm always amazed at how many people on here know what a Turkish knocking shop smells like.
Smells like kebab
Office ringtone gammon guy has clearly been busy this weekend and added Insomnia by Faithless as one of his personalised ringtones.
So hip and down with the kids. What a ****ing cool guy.

Don’t lose sleep over it.
You know how people order parcels to the office because they don't want to get home to find one of those "we're sorry we missed you" cards on their doormat? Our office is quite happy for people to order things, and I do it myself maybe once or twice a month. However, there's a guy on my team who seems to get every single thing he buys delivered to the office. A day doesn't go by without our poor receptionist lugging some parcel over here and dumping it on his desk. Recent things he's ordered include: 2 large rugs, a back massager, a ukulele, a case of beer, and a mop.
What makes it particularly stupid is that he lives in a building with a concierge who can accept parcels. He could just get it delivered to his home address and collect it when he gets home. Instead, he waits for a big enough pile of parcels to build up at work and then hires a ZipCar for a couple of hours so he can come to the office and pick everything up.
This is his pile from just last week (yes, that's a mop at the front).

Who orders a pen ?
You jest, but I wouldn't be surprised if he has ordered a pen before.
Oh dear...
Well as someone who eats Cornish Pasties for breakfast it shouldn't really surprise you to know that I have also had kebabs for lunch. Chicken kebabs to be precise (in a pitta like a doner). I was a contractor working for a small company in Enfield. Once a month the owner/MD would order in chicken kebabs for all of us for lunch, and we'd sit and eat them in the meeting room (there was only one and it was big enough for all of us). It was fantastic.

I must admit, I am also guilty of having my junk delivered at work. Highlights would be a large awning (so long it wouldn't fit in the lift, and had to be humped up and then down 6 flights of stairs), and a fairly heavy coffee table that arrived in sections over the course of 3 days.
I haven't had a doner for lunch, but got quite into having street food when I was working in the New York office (totally accepted over there) - stuffed pittas, shish, tacos etc. Usually stinks the office out for ages afterwards

Can't beat the Halal street vendors - authentic New York, always fresh, friendly service and half the cost of Pret. Lamb Gyros are amazing
I'm sure there's a post earlier in this thread somewhere from me about the absolutely amazing kebab shop near my old company's start up office in a shitty bit of the Isle of Dogs. The spicy chicken in naan bread was out of this world, basically a tandoori chicken kebab wrapped in a perfect naan with a tiny bit of salad as an afterthough and a can of full fat coke. Once a month or so the small, all male team would get them in and eat them in the development room together which, obviously, then smelled of a Turkish knocking shop.
Exactly that........fabulous food, very cheap for NYC too. Love it.

Yes but it is Halal... non-halal and I'm with you.

Of course, 20 minutes after my post the receptionist came over with a parcel for me
(It's a book, in case you're wondering)
