So glad I live 5 minutes from work and can go home for lunch. Mostly it’s to see the dog but it’s also nice not worrying about this crap.
I only ever use our group’s mini fridge in our cubicle for a seltzer I drink at the end of the day. Even that is a chaotic fridge filled with rotting food and too many condiments and creamers. I just put a can in to cool in the morning and take it out to drink by the end of the day.
What’s up with people who leave stuff in there for weeks knowing that they are never going to eat it but are just too lazy to throw it out?
The wasted space bothers me more. If I am bringing milk for my own coffee, I decant it into a small container. If bringing lunch that needs refrigerated, I take it out of the insulated lunch bag before putting it in the refrigerator! I see huge insulated lunch bags in there, are you literally insulating it against refrigeration, and do you need to take up a cubic foot for your sandwich and apple?
Just poke a hole in the side, steal what you need, and tape it shut.
Yeah or use one of those drill-taps they use to tap maple syrup.
I don’t even want to fuck with other people’s food generally, but id do this.
I kind of do. One of the managers hides supplies we need because we “use too much of it” or something and it affects the budget. We need to ask her for the supplies if we need it. So, I just stopped doing the work that requires those supplies. Her precious budget is safe.
Totally agree. My guide is always if they don’t care then I don’t care. Want to make me jump through hoops to do my job. Fuck you.
This woman is a nightmare, her name is Susan, and Susan recently started swallowing the supplies and we have to wait for her to poop them out if we want to use them. And as if that wasn’t bad enough she makes us talk her out for a walk whenever we want anything. Yesterday I took Susan for a walk and had to wait ten minutes for her to shit out a stapler.
Yet another reason why I work remotely.
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.

If you’re gonna drink skim, save money and use water.
It’s semi-skimmed and it’s the best milk.
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.
Exactly. This is a reaction to people being antisocial to begin with.
No
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.
Tea.
Where is the barbed wire?
Why do they keep the glue in the fridge?
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?
Just leave a decoy bottle laced with large amounts of sleep medication and laxatives. Sit back. Watch the shitshow unfold.
Tragedy at the container port as a box crane operator falls asleep, shits himself and drops a container of deel straight through the hull of the Ever Given. 8 million high-end graphics cards and playstations were destroyed by seawater.
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.
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.
Question: I bring milk into the office laced with powerful psychedelics. It is clearly labeled with my name, saying “This is mine and for my consumption only. Do not drink”. Someone takes and drinks it.
Is this illegal?
Are psychedelics legal where you live?
In the USA, yes.
It’s crazy how many people have never been weaned
Very weird comment, probably super weird person behind it
Milk is weird. I don’t think any other mammals drink it after childhood, or from other animals.
It’s just a joke about how weird human culture is. I wonder how you infer anything about me as a person because of one silly joke? Only super weird persons can notice weird cultural things and make jokes about it? Genuinely curious about your reasoning here.
It’s a vegan thing in some circles
“Yeah I bet you like your cow-titty juice, FREAKS” etc
I think it’s hilarious personally
Ass crack bandit!
Troy Barnes: So please, approve the Dean’s new security measure called “Troy’s law.”, because a camera in the bathroom…
[He chokes up]
Troy Barnes: is better than a quarter in your butt.
Dean Pelton: As we’ve seen, the Ass Crack Bandit can be defeated by using the three "B"s: Belts, briefs, and buddies. Good. The bandit always gets his victims when they’re alone. Bend over with friends over.
Just bring a empty jug and stab the bottom and enjoy your free milk buffet.
I remember solving something similar using an opaque bottle with “GI supplements, don’t drink” written in sharpie. Especially since the first time it was actually true and they didn’t believe the warning.
I used to live in a shared house and made some hot honey. Bunch of chillis chopped and simmered in honey.
I found a tiny amount on a pizza was good to add a hint of sweet and made it pretty spicy. Can’t imagine having it concentrated on toast goes down too well but that is what someone did when they stole it.
Don’t give me ideas… I love spicy stuff, and it has been a pretty good deterrent in of itself from having my foodstuffs stolen. So two birds with one stone…
New interview question: “please show me the inside of the common refrigerator.”
Empty?
Maybe they would 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.
Who can be bothered to steal someone else’s semi-skimmed milk anyway‽ Full cream or bust.
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 from 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.
My office provides free milk, but they some times don’t refill it for days, so whether you’ll have milk for your coffee becomes a gamble and then people get pissed when it’s not there. My solution is to just buy or bring my coffee with milk before work and drink tea at work (don’t take milk).
Trent the milk guzzler arrives at 6 and drinks it all.
Fuck you Trent!
Then you run into the problem of people using excessive amounts of free milk leaving others without the chance to even get any. Better and safer to bring your own if you rely on it.
The tragedy of the commons.
It works here. Every morning they go round the fridges (it’s a big place) and bung another 4 pints in if it’s getting low. The only time it didn’t work was after a long weekend, when the bottle looked too full to replace but it was starting to go manky because it had been sitting too long after it was opened. I just went to another fridge with good milk.
The blizzard offices were never the same.
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.
I think that’s the point if you read between the lines. I don’t think this shit post is arguing that those who lock their milk aren’t the victims here.
Plot twist: one guy brought in 3 locked milks.
Or: one guy keeps brining 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.
Turn it upside down and poke a hole in the bottom.
Put laxatives in your milk.
This person is playing 3D chess over here.
I work at a place that went from having bbq’s and get togethers to… well, nothing in about five years. Yesterday we got a company wide e-mail to tell us the CEO is GTFO’ing and being replaced by an external hire. I’m not worried at all though. In fact, I’m kinda hoping to be fired for the severance. Fuck this job :D
My story exactly. Company still has summer parties but they cut a lot of benefits, started firing people and the level of gaslighting went up dramatically. I was looking for something else but fortunately stayed long enough to get fired and cash out. Found new job in 1.5 months. I’m almost grateful to them for being such assholes.
If it’s your own milk, fair enough.

My office just used to have milk delivered so everyone had it. The benefit of everyone there drinking tea!
