The office refrigerator!

Years ago I worked for a small graphic design firm - maybe 6 people max...........

the wife of the owner used to come in every day - go directly to the fridge, rummage around - open up everyone's lunch and then just eat what she liked.

People started bringing in their own coolers to store their food - to keep her out - and they would leave them in their cars so she couldn't get to them. They used those frozen ice packs to keep things fresh.

For real ??? The nerve of that woman. If it were my lunch she would
hear about it, I don't care who she was married too.

I usually bought my lunch at work, but we had different people assume the role of cleaning out the fridge about once a week. people were also notified by email to either take stuff out on their own, or risk getting it tossed.

Worked about the same way with the microwave cleanups. people never
acknowledged spilling food & never wanted to clean it up, so some poor
soul wood eventually clean it up & post a sign about spills.

Cleaning the microwave?

No problem.

I put the sucker in a wall locker for a week, and told everyone I was sick of cleaning it so I threw the SOB in the trash can.



After a week of no nuke, it was agreed that there would be a rotating schedule for cleaning.

I know this all too well! The fridge at Petsmart is utterly disgusting. To make matters worse, I would put a drink or snack in the fridge for a 5 hour shift. Two or three hours into the shift, I want my drink or my Little Debbie snack. Don't you know its gone? I can NOT figure out who it is but I tell you, I don't leave anything in the fridge anymore. My treat is eaten room temperature (yuckie, but at least MINE! LOL)

The odd thing? EVERYONE knows that if they asked me, I'd most likely be happy to share or give them the whole thing.

Oh, and one more thing I love about my new job: my boss is obsessed with the fridge. He joked that he'd fire someone on the spot for stealing someone else's Lean Cuisine! Now.... if only the rest of the lunch room looked at nice as the fridge!

I know what you all mean. The main fridge in the breakroom on the 4th floor can get real nasty.

So someone brought in a small dorm sized fridge for the 3rd floor and we all keep it nice and neat. Plus it's nice to walk a few steps instead of a few floors to grab a snack.

Our cleaning crew has a strict policy...if it is there onthe close of business Friday, it gets pitched. Good incentive to not leave any storage containers in there!! Once or twice, and you learn!!

Just another pet peeve for work food...just take the last doughnut. Don't cut it in half, so someone else can take a quater, and on and on.....

ROFLMAO!!! I was at work the other day and could SWEAR something in our fridge died. It smells SOOOO bad, yet no one will investigate. And that was AFTER they cleaned it out!!

I have only one thing left to say...

EEEEEEEWWWWWWW!!!
