Barfing at work ettiquette

[BolshieBastard]

Some poor soul coughed their guts up at work today in full view of everyone (well nearly everyone and it wasnt me!). This got me thinking, what is the ettiquette for barfing at work.

Before barfing, should one;
stick one's head in the nearest recepticle
make a mad indecent rush to the nearest bogs
barf in one's mouth and promptly re swallow and carry on working as normal
barf in one's mouth and retain it while puffing one's cheeks out hamster style and walk casually to the nearest bogs
any other method.

Thoughts?

Barfing is very poor form.

If you must do it, make sure it's a puke anything else simply encourages the colonials.

Oh, and don't do it till you can see the whites of their eyes.

Just do it on the keyboard and log a support call

If you sh1t on the keyboard do you log a support call?

Back in the days when they had typewriters, my wife puked all over her typewriter after a port and wine laden meal.

Not very pleasant, especially when it gets stuck between the keys!

mm probably not the most professional day of my life but I think I got away with it as I was a permie....

Open top drawer of the usual set of drawers supplied with every desk in said standard office - empty books onto table to form a makeshift pillow - barf into drawer and close it should the need arise.

Then you just need to stay a tad late and swap your drawer thingy with someone you dont like.....

I have always managed to get to a suitable receptacle in time, be it a sink, loo or bin. Dont know why, but I cant puke til I can puke somewhere tidy

Me either.

Permie came in on his second day, after being taken on a pub crawl by his new colleagues. Sat at his desk in a daze for a while, then threw up into the bin.

He then carried the bin to the gents to wash it out.

He never lived that one down. But he didn't get sacked for it.

I have managed to avoid doing this so far but I'd go for the bin option if I had to.

Etiquette would be NOT to barf at work.... but on the assumption that if you are going to chunder anyway you could at least try a little decorum.......

I suggest running in a blind panic torwards the karsi with your hand held over your mouth with little spurts of bile and diced carrot randomly spraying onto peoples desks and laps as you pass........
