Most unusual item found?

Clare

Hi all, part of my morning has been spent clearing out the office where I am currently based in anticipation of a pending office move and I have been sitting at a desk where various individuals have come and departed, leaving behind an array of personal and work items.  I'm sure many other colleagues have done the same or had to clear out the workspace for individuals who have been escorted from the workplace or perhaps threw their toys out of the pram and refused to return.  And this got me thinking ...  the items I have come across today have not been particularly noteworthy - a broken necklace, memory sticks, pain relief, software disks, sunglasses - however one item caught my eye: a pair of chop sticks although I can't work out why they would be in an office ...


So, if you have been tasked with a similar clear out please do share your experiences of what prompted the clear out, any unusual items found and perhaps if (and how) you reunited them with their owner?  :-)

  • And, once a Gents WC blocked completely by about two dozen empty bottles of Tippex typewriting correction fluid Thinners. Only explanation for this bizarre find was that someone must have taken to sniffing the stuff whilst hiding in the cubicle, as it was a solvent, and inhaling enough fumes thereof would make them high - dunno, really - believe it or not, never done it myself.

    But it was somewhat worrying - this was a heavy precision engineering design office, full of professional engineers and the like, and not  a refuge for reprobates - although sometimes one wondered if there was much difference........
