I've also been given a miniature bottle of Baileys, I don't know if it was a genuine 'thought that counts' gesture or someone trying to tell me what they really think of me??

One humbug and one glacier from a lady's jacket pocket, no idea how long they'd been there!

I hope you gave it back and told him to post it all back.
Unfortunately it was when I was relatively new to the job and wet behind the ears and I just meekly took it off him, it would be a different story if someone did that to me now!

Last year an old lady handed me a Tesco's bag .It was clinking away so I thought it was a few bottles of bud or something. As I said thanks she pointed at the recycling bin and said can you put it in there please. It was all her empties!!!!!
