A more pertinent concern is having to work with the person whose behavior precipitated this reaction.
One person locking their milk makes them a weirdo. Three means someone else is.
Plot twist: one guy brought in 3 locked milks.
Or one guy keeps bringing in milk, and another guy keeps locking that guy’s milk.
Whenever his milk starts going off at home, he locks it up and brings it to the office to see how long people will respect the locks before throwing away rotten milk.
Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, “gee, i didn’t bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some”? These kinds of tactics don’t come from nowhere
I literally had this argument with the coworker who would eat other people’s food:
“ did you eat my fucking sandwich??”
“Oh. It was yours?”
“Why the fuck would you do that??”
“Well i didn’t know it was yours”
“But you knew for certain it wasn’t YOURS, since you didn’t make and bring it!”
“People should label stuff if they don’t want it to get eaten”
Most frustrating person i ever met. Laziest fuck ever too. This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet
When I was in the Navy, a dude kept eating my fucking chips and salsa. It was a small work center, we all knew whose shit was whose in our tiny fridge. So one day I put really fucking hot hot sauce in my salsa and left it in the fridge. Motherfucker has the gall to get pissed at me like I’m the asshole. He didn’t eat my salsa again after that.
A guy was drinking and eating people’s food at a job I had.
One day someone peed in a pepsi can and put it back in the fridge.
Later the guy comes out of the kitchen screaming he’s gonna punch whoever did that.
The Big boss comes out of his office and asks him why he drank someone else open can? And when he almost got calm the boss told him to leave and never come back, since he said he would hit someone and that taking sips out of others drinks was unsanitary.
It was soooo funny to see him leave in rage, hit the store sign and hurt himself doing so.
The guy who peed in the can was scared to lose his job. The boss told him “next time to come to me before taking drastic actions” and all was swell.
In the end it was a beautiful day!
The guy who peed in the can was scared to lose his job
It was a fucked up thing he did, but it did give all of you a really funny story to share. Except for the piss-drinker, he’s not sharing that with anyone if he can help it.
Would I know what it tasted like if it were in a Pepsi can?
what a coincidence, i’m eating ghost pepper salsa right now. so you’re saying stealing lunches is a good way to try new hot sauces
I don’t like violence.
But some people need to get punched in the mouth
I had a roommate burn a bunch of shit from our garage because he didn’t know who owned it.
He’s like, “I asked the other roommate and he said it wasn’t his so I figured it was just here with the apartment.”
“Motherfucker there are 3 people that live here. If it’s not yours, and it’s not the other guy’s, it’s probably fucking mine and you should ask before you just light shit on fire.”
Normally I’d think it was because he just didn’t like me, but after knowing the guy, he was just an actual idiot.
This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet
That fucking drives me up the wall. How did your parents fail so badly that they couldn’t teach you to pick up your feet?
We have to label things so they can get eaten. We literally have a “this is communist milk, it’s for everyone”.
Duh, a sandwich left in the fridge is the kind of thing no one would ever expect being someone’s personal lunch. You’re obviously in the wrong to complain about it. Asshole.
At one of my previous jobs it was the head of HR stealing people’s food. Every time somebody complained he’d put up a sign and start “investigating”, but nothing ever came of it despite having cameras pointed at the fridge. Eventually someone got tired of it, put up their own camera, and caught the head of HR on camera a couple times. Apparently the president of the company didn’t care and brushed it off. I only found out because the guy with evidence blanket emailed the videos to the whole company. Of course he got written up for doing that.
I’m surprised the HR guy didn’t get the shit kicked out of him
So I have to cook for my clients every day. Leftovers from most meals are kept in our staff fridge because the guys will absolutely gorge themselves on them if left alone.
Every fucking morning, our old nurse would come in and head straight for the fridge to make a plate of those leftovers. Never once brought in her own breakfast or lunch. If the behaviorist didn’t cook something for her for lunch when she was serving the guys, she’d go right back in the fridge.
Say there was enough for a whole other meal and we planned to use it again, put a big label like “FOR FRIDAY’S DINNER.” It didn’t matter… You’d go in and there’d be a huge chunk missing. One day, she actually ate a half of a half-serving tray worth of meat. I went in the next day and flipped. “Oh, I didn’t know it was for today.” “IT HAS A LABEL ON IT THAT SAYS IT’S FOR DINNER! I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THEM NOW! YOU ATE HALF THE MEAT MEANT FOR 8 PEOPLE!” “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know…”
It didn’t stop her, either… The worse part is that she was skinny as a twig.
Just start calling her The Food Thief in front of people at every opportunity. Public shaming can be powerful.
After much hinting and me going off, she clearly just didn’t care…
We eventually just started keeping the leftovers upstairs. If the guys ate it in a sitting, so be it, we at least had a teachable moment when they came and complained their stomach was upset.
Likely that was her only food source.
Definitely not. She was salaried and made a little more than double what I do.
I don’t get how the people here are offended by this. Entitlement? It’s so fun to bring something in to just to find out it’s gone before you even opened it. Even with a god damn name label. If I bought a carton of milk, I wouldn’t mind sharing some, but not the entire thing for one person to make porridge from. At that point you cunts can just buy your own shit.
I’m offended because this is indicative of a much larger problem(distrust amongst coworkers) and I don’t think people should be so satisfied with this band-aid solution.
This feels like a microcosm of society as a whole right now. 3 individuals taking individual action that won’t solve the root problem.
And I can easily imagine the boss(or anyone with actual authority) having their own personal fridge and just ignoring the situation entirely no matter how often it’s brought up.
You can feel fully justified in doing something and still hate having to do it.
this is indicative of a much larger problem(distrust amongst coworkers)
The scope of the problem is much much larger: the entire fucking culture IMO, assuming you are in the USA because I am and it sure sounds like you’re talking about this place.
I think it goes beyond distrust though. It is a lack of respect for human dignity (which leads to lack of respect for oneself) and for just being decent to one another so we can all enjoy our time on Earth a little bit more.
I have made a couple trips to Sweden of all places, and it’s wild seeing things like real glasses and silverware being available for any schmuck to use in a restaurant/airport/workplace. And then people put them in the dishwasher or return them to the kitchen when done! Little things like that seem so minor until you think about the deep seated issues it is revealing.
Yeah, can you believe how some people are so entitled they *check notes* expect to be able to use the food they bought
My job has the opposite problem. We have four refrigerators full of food that no one wants to eat. People bring in homemade meals in glass containers that end up rotting and growing mold. Every so often someone gets the courage to clean all the refrigerators out, but it doesn’t take long before they turn back into giant trash cans again.
Where is your workplace and where are the security camera blindspots.
Its in a hospital and as far as I am aware there’s no cameras in the break room.
Ok good hospitals have enough room first read through this, then tell me if you are still confused about the plan.
It’s imperative yall do it without any cameras around.
Y’all nasty.
please don’t kink shame
It’s not the kink, but the table manners that I shame.
hwhat table?
Fr.
If you’re gonna drink skim, save money and use water.
Look here, we took this water, put it through the cows, now it’s better!
Ah, yes, the cow filter!
Stop stealing their stuff, scumbag.
“This is the lockpicking lawyer and what I have for you today is”
Just leave a decoy bottle laced with large amounts of sleep medication and laxatives. Sit back. Watch the shitshow unfold.
Lol a guy at a shop I worked at did this. He had already given his two weeks notice, but he got fired anyways. People were sooo pissed. Lol there weren’t enough toilets for everyone who got it to use at once. I thought it was hilarious and well deserved, they actually gave me a talking to for laughing out loud about it.
This reminds me for some reason about the time I found a half-full can of vintage rat poison at an antique store. It was basically entirely arsenic.
Someone emptied my lunchbox and left it on the counter, i’ve had a padlock on it ever since.
What’s the point though if it’s empty?
New interview question: “please show me the inside of the common refrigerator.”
Why does one of the jugs have an infection warning on it? Are these bio samples at a lab and the locks are a safety measure?
I worked at a hospital, and sometimes the Emergency Dept nurses would be cheeky and use the biohazard bags and stickers for their food items. nobody is going to eat my cookies if they have to blindly trust someone being a joker lol
How about fixing the problem by having the management provide free milk? It’s about a pound a day for them and everyone is happier.
Trent the milk guzzler arrives at 6 and drinks it all.
Fuck you Trent!
The really offensive part is having >2 liters of milk, per person, in a work fridge. What the fuck do you need so much for? I bet that fridge smells like a mix of spoiled milk and utter distrust for other human beings.
udder distrust. it was right there
Just because it’s there, doesn’t mean you have to milk the pun for all it’s worth.
don’t be so sour… milk is for everyone
this thread is really curdling
If only there was a whey to revive it.
These jokes are getting cheesy
It is British milk. Even as a Brit myself it astonishes me how much tea some people drink in a day. That shit must literally ooze from the pores of some people.
Maybe they wouldn’t have to do that if you’d stop stealing the milk, Brenda
LOL, so I’m pretty sure her name really is Brenda. Years ago, we did a Pi(e) day thing. And one of the ladies, who complained to management about an optional employee lead event (myself and some other people just threw it together) where we offered food to people who didn’t participate, went to the fridge and was overheard saying how her husband and kid would like the pie and just stole a whole goddamn pie as she left.
Yeah, people who drink milk at work are super weird
It’s pretty common to have milk in your tea
Oh, yes! Iced milky tea is delicious, highly recommended of you like iced coffee.
