EVERYONE in an office is dreading what happens next after a handwritten note appeared on a kitchen cupboard that starts with the words ‘Hi Guys…’
No employee has yet been summoned the courage to read the note, left by an unknown hand, but all are sure it contains terrible, morning-ruining news.
Facilities manager Martin Bishop said: “Just the introduction alone was enough to fill each of us with the awful foreboding that something truly unspeakable is looming on the horizon.
“It could be a charity fun run. It could be about food being stolen from the fridge. It could be someone trying to get a five-a-side team together, or a quiz team, or a bowling team, or trying to get us on The Crystal Maze.
“Whatever it is, that mock-friendly opening salutation and the very fact that it’s been written down on paper rather than put in an email means that it’s bad news. The worst.”
Colleague Emma Bradford agreed: “I can’t bear to read it. I’m going out for lunch, and I’m giving up drinking tea, and I’m never going in the kitchen again.”
