There's something in my bin !

[Edward Scissorhands]

But how did the frog get there?

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

Literally quite marvellous mate. Any chance of a photo of the lovely temp, so we can make up our own minds?

Too late, I made first claim.....

And where is the frog now - has it been returned safely to it's natural habitat?

Maybe it wanted to stay in your office - now you have let it in, you have a moral duty to look after it, feed it, house it - you can't just go around kicking out because you don't like what it does.

Don't let JonC find about this, he will have human rights lawyers queuing around the corner to prosecute you for denying the frog it's basic human rights....

 

[HampshireSeagulls]

Can't really see how I could manage that, without just sounding like a perv.

"I have some friends on the internet who want to see what you look like. Can I take a photo and send it to them?"

How pervy does that sound? Simple, if she's a temp, tell her you need a photo for the company website....

 

[Eggmundo]

But what about the ARMADILLO?

Nobody seems to give a f*** for its feelings now that all attention is on Rebecca.

Exactly, casually tossed aside like an old unloved teddy bear.

I am pleased and relieved that this incident has passed without any major trauma. Although I'm still concerned as to how an amphibious creature managed to find its way into your disposal unit durnig the night - for the average frog, that would be some hop to actually make it into the bin. Are you sure you havn't upset one of the cleaners in some way ? Failing that, perhaps there is some frogspawn in the water cooler.

 

[Meade's Ball]

A frog in a bin is the work of an office wag. I'd check your exhaust for bananas and your doorway for racist slogans daubed in excrement.

 

[Deano's Right Foot]

Gritt23 May I humbly suggest you challenge and perhaps conquer your irrational fear of frogs. I have heard that cognitive behavioural therapy can help, which I think involves gradual exposure to the object of your fear.

Perhaps start by printing this little beauty out and sticking it up in your office:

And then maybe alternating visits to NSC with a little trip off to this site would also help.

Good luck old man

I can't deny it, I am concerned myself.

There was no bag in my bin this morning, and all I'd thrown in was a white carrier with some rubbish from my car. The carrier had come from the Spar that morning.

So it either, jumped in my bin in the night, and couldn't get out, which seems odd, or came via my car - and I can't even begin to contemplate that I will be driving home in a car that may contain frogs!

The offices are part of a warehouse, and there is a big water trough less than 10 yards into the warehouse from the offices. I can only imagine that Kermit had got into the warehouse and been drawn to this part of the warehouse due to the water. But what made it think, "Ok, had enough of this water, I think I'll check out the offices. Ooh, a bin, nice." I really cannot fathom.

Are you sure it wasn't a harmless toad?

 

[tedebear]

our frogs hatched from our frog pond and have travelled across the garden to live under the spare cortina doors and the bbq - rather stange if you ask me !!

 

[Gritt23]

Are you sure it wasn't a harmless toad?

No. It was green and jumped around. Frog / toad, I dunno. Anyway, I'm sure frogs are harmless, I just don't like them. And nor, so it would seem does young, firm, and big-breasted, Rebecca.

Good luck old man

Difficult name to get your tongue around...

Re: Re: There's something in my bin !

Do your workmates know about your frog phobia?

If they do, its a frog.

Quality response!

 

[Le Premier Cru]

Swap your bin for someone else's while they're out making coffee or something.

I spent, ooh, at least a minute trying to come up with a hilarious anagram for that, but gave up because you're left with a,h,l,o,r, and i once you've used the obvious letters...

Toads normally have lumps and bumps on their backs, and are generally quite "warty". A frog is a far more streamlined creature, and rather more aesthetically pleasing, I would venture.

In all these years, I have never been aware of this inherent dark fear of frogs you have been harbouring, Gritty. Its not something that would normally come up in conversation I grant you, but its quite curious.

You would have thrown an eppy a few weeks back. For some cool air, I regularly leave my back door open at night (stop sniggering at the back). Whilst watching "Pimp My Ride", I had a nocturnal visitor come hopping in. I only knew about it because Bruce went mental and started screeching. I gathered my slithery guest up and dispatched him gently at the back of the garden, where he regarded me for a moment, before squeezing his green ass under my shed.

No drama. I returned to my Bacardi and thought no more of it.
