Not just any fridge.
The fridge at work.
I just don’t get the fridge mentality of people at work. Why do people suddenly think that anything in a fridge is theirs? Can people really not separate home life from work life? At home you go to the fridge and know that you can use anything in it and so surely this is the same at work isn’t it?
NO IT IS NOT YOU UTTER WASTE OF A BRAIN!
If you know full well you have not bought any margarine or sauce, why do you assume that it’s ok to use other peoples? How hard is it to think to yourself “hang on, I didn’t buy this roasted red pepper humus, and I don’t even know who did, so why am I currently spreading it on my otherwise lifeless ham sandwich?”
What is it with you people? It is not your food!
Salad Cream – oh don’t get me started. If I put a bottle of Salad cream in the fridge at work it will go in two weeks without me ever even opening it. HOW? The most annoying thing about that is that these people, who can’t live without Salad Cream, never put any in for me to steal. If I don’t replace the bottle no one else ever does, how dare they? Why can’t they take a turn?
Any way, I was prompted to write this after noticing this bottle of fizzy wine in the fridge. I just thought that it was the most sensible note I had seen in a long time. I hope it worked.

At the opposite end of the spectrum are the people who bring in broccoli salad and then leave it there for eight weeks until the putrid stench of rotten food is wafting through the entire office. Love that.
I used to tell with the people I worked with that I was going to invent a line of lunch bags and boxes that look like the coolers used to transport human organs. Maybe even with a fake heart, liver, kidney (your choice) that hides the compartment where you put your food. They thought it wouldn't work. They are wrong.
I knew there was a reason I didn't want to go back to work. That damn office fridge and its eating all the food gremlins used to really irk me.
That's pretty funny! At my last job we had someone that would come to the fridge and take anyone's sandwiches. So, I got with the few people we trusted on the floor and said we need make sandwiches that looked good but tasted terrible. So we all made either a ham or a turkey sandwich with mayo. Then we COVERED it with salt! The salt blended with (as well as stuck to) the mayo. So it would have been hard to see if you weren't looking for it to begin with. The next few days, a few of our sandwiches were stolen. Then it stopped. I don't know if they got the hint and stopped for good because I left the job too much longer after that. But I'm sure they got the hint for a while. Those sandwiches must have been TERRIBLE. I get sick just telling the story. :)
You put booze in your work fridge? No wonder people steal your lunch.
people who eat broccoli shouldn't be aloud to work in offices anyway - they have perfectly acceptable save the rain forest type charities they can be working at.
drinking at work should always be encouraged - unless you work at AA of course.
