How would you Deal with this 'issue'

[ThatsNotPlumb]

It's not really 'odd', the guy maybe just has a mild case of OCD in which simple stuff might irritate him, for him to even ask you it must have been distressing him so the fact that you were pisstaking probably contributed to his little outburst. I wouldn't report it to your DOM because I mean what are you going to say? "I was making a mug out of my partner about his 'ocd' & he told me to f**k off", hardly a case is it if he'd any sense he'd tell you both to grow up.

If it were me personally, I'd put them the other way around. Going to take no extra effort on your part & it will keep him/her happy.

Bloody hell mate, you his brother going over old ground but as everyone say's he does need to lighten up seriously, it was hardly mega pisstaking. I didn't mention the fact that he has a little previous which I believe he's on a warning for hence I was going to mention this disagreement to the boss in case it escalated.

He was extra nice today anyway which leads me to believe he's seen what a dick he was about it and me being a nice bloke I turned them around for him too.

I can't really get it though If truth be told but then I am pretty laid back about most things in general.

It could be something going off in his home life,wife ill or something like that,or he might be a vet with a mild case of PTSD,you could inadvertantly be doing lots of little thing's wrong that are building up,cut him some slack and try and sort it out without grassing him up to the screws

Drawn a line under it now as I said he was ok today and it wasn't a case of being a grass just that he's been involved in a past altercation shall we say and I didn't want to go down that route myself over this!

Done, we move on.

Personally, I'd just do it how he wants it. It must really bother him for whatever reason to have made him mention it to you. You've got to work with this guy and it's probably zero extra effort on your part to plonk them on the frame the 'right' way up before you start putting them in. I've worked with a great many fussy types and some arguments are just not worth having, in my opinion.

I agreed to do it 'his' way as he asked however he took exception to my final word on the matter which went like, I'll do it that way mate I don't want the animal to upset you, at this point he told me to shut my mouth didn't see that coming to be honest

The thing is I have already prepped the weeks due to some spare time today and I told him I aint turning them the 'right' way now but I future I'll try to.

Crazy stuff.

I would start putting random letters in his loops upside down tbh.

[wannabeek]

There's a guy I occasionally work with who preps every magazine upside down. Every letter faces normally but every magazine is 'wrong'.

I've never mentioned it, it's just a thing he does and he's never asked me to prep my flats upside down either. Its plastic-wrapped ones too, so it's not to do with how they fit in the slots

Each to their own, eh. This is just one of the many reasons why van share doesn't work, IMO.

[Ralph Wiggum]

IMO id tell hime to **** off, get a grip, go moan about sumthing else. If he still not happy, he can prep them for you in his own time!!

LOSER!!!

[dennyboycox]

take them off him and slap him with them

[NWpostie]

I wouldn't allow myself to spoken in an agressive manner whatever the reason, I'm very robust about that, I would refuse to co operate until he starts speaking civilly to me as well as an apology, I've had a few run ins with work colleagues over the way they speak to me and make it clear I won't tolerate it and if they persist I would take it further to the Union and DOM, I'm not prepared to put up with in my work place as I wouldn't put up with it outside.

What animals?
Some animals, bats for example, prefer to be upside down.

Yes and some animals like to hide. Under Virgin crp for eg.
