Seriously, what the hell are these people thinking?
I’ve got assholes at my work that like to take their half drank McDonald’s soda and stick it in an already crowded refrigerator. Leading to the precarious situation wherein some unknowing dolt comes in, sticks his bag into the fridge and tips over the open container some dumbass stuck on the TOP SHELF! Which then leads to a syrupy cascade that trickles down to all the other items on the lower shelves. Leaving a lovely mess for all the other coworkers!
Let me say this: YOU GUYS ARE FUCKING IDIOTS!!
I might have a modicum of sympathy for you assholes if you actually came back for said drinks, but you never do. And why would you? Who the hell wants to drink a watered down flat soda? NOBODY! That’s who! How dense do you have to be to NOT realize this?
And further more, if you simply MUST be a dense asshonle, at least try not to be the densest of assholes and stick your soda on the bottom shelf instead of the top. That way when somebody tips over that drink your never coming back for, it will be less of a problem for your coworkers who you don’t seem to give two shits about!
Thinks I came into grab my lunch the other day only to find my bag is coated in a sticky mess because some asshole stuck his open container directly above my bag.
I have some bad news for you, Shakes; those are the same thoughtless dolts who make themselves a coffee and leave the counter covered in powdered creamer and sugar, who take a cup of coffee and leave one ounce in the bottom of the coffee pot and don’t make another pot, who throw the remains of their lunch in the kitchen sink, who leave their dirty dishes in that same sink, who leave their moldy leftovers in the company fridge for months on end and complain after they’re thrown out - in short, they don’t notice or care that they make the world around themselves a worse place for everyone else in it.
Also don’t forget the idiots that make a fresh pot of coffee at 4:45 and the day ends at 5:00 and they don’t come back to dump it out or make sure the coffee maker is turned off.
When you find one that hasn’t yet fallen over, remove it from the refrigerator, pour it down the nearest sink, and set it down on its side where you found it.
If he bought a couple of chicken drumsticks for lunch he might chomp one and not finish it. Throw it out? Oh no!
He would place it on a paper towel and put it in the freezer. Not wrap it in a paper towel- just place it on a the paper and put it in the freezer. It was disgusting.
When I saw the thread title I was like - hold on, I do that it’s no big deal. Then I read the post. My half filled drink in the work fridge is in a bottle, with a cap screwed on.
Who doesn’t love the taste of watered down, flat soda pop? Especially when it’s been sitting open in a communal fridge to gather all the odors of the food from everyone’s lunches. YUM.
Don’t forget that 80%+ of the people who put a McD’s cup of soda in the fridge will never return for it. After a few days the cup breaks down and the same problems happen.
I am grateful when I work at a tightly managed building where they have draconian fridge policies.
Anything in the fridge that’s not in a cooler-bag: Throw it out.
Once a week (at least) throw out everything in the fridge and take any cooler-bags that are in there and put them into a trash bag and leave it next to the trash barrel for a few days before you throw it out.
I’ve had to rescue my bag a couple times from being tossed because I forgot it over the weekend. But that’s well worth it for having a non-nasty fridge most of the time.
Are these people only drinking the bottom half of their pop, so that their cup is so easily tippable?
If I weren’t so tired today, I’d make a parody thread pitting the people who carelessly shove their lunches in to the fridge, tipping over other people’s soda. Rude!
People are just gross. I use the fridge as little as possible. I can’t imagine anything I bring to work in the morning going bad by the time I eat it at any time during the day. My sack lunch simply stays in my tote. If I order out and need to put leftovers in the fridge, I make sure it’s all packed in sealed plastic and then wrap it in another plastic bag and tape it shut. I’m not kidding. Also, my name and the date so nobody messes with my shit.
Thank god! I thought, I was the only sane person in this world! To avoid the office fridge, i brought in a water cooler with a small fridge compartment underneath. Only to have my idiot job share partner unplug it one night and all of my food spoiled! :eek: I then made up a sign “do not unplug” and pasted it on the outlet. same job share partner took a photo of the cooler and the sign, because it “was so unique and memorable”. really?:smack: Nuts it more like it! Who takes a photo instead of just telling me “sorry, won’t happen again”. Makes for strange vibes in my office now because I think I hired a moron. But I’m so happy to find out, there are tons of insane office workers to complain about on this.
