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
I don’t like violence.
But some people need to get punched in the mouth
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.
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.
Duh, a sandwich is the kind of thing one would never expect being left around with the purpose of being someone’s personal lunch. You’re obviously in the wrong here complaining. Asshole.
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?
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.
Yeah, can you believe how some people are so entitled they *check notes* expect to be able to use the food they bought
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.
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.
But on second reading idk
“This is the lockpicking lawyer and what I have for you today is”
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
Sorry, I’ve been a vegan for long enough that I don’t remember the names for all the animal bits, even in my native tongue let alone english :)
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.
I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain …
so I’ve had tea in Ireland and the UK, and my observation is that most people just use an ounce of milk for a cuppa, right?
how much tea is this type of freak, that needs this much milk at work, drinking?
Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.
In the US most employers used to provide coffee and some kind of creamer free for employees.
About 25-30 years ago the capitalists realized their employees wouldn’t quit over not having free coffee, so they stopped providing free coffee.
Maybe you got the custom from them, but they have decivilized while y’all have maintained?
We still have coffee and creamer, but it’s the worst shit imaginable, just burnt beans and powdered creamer. I was pissed when I went to our HQ in another state, which is smaller than our site and they had a good brand from my city and multiple real creamers. They had a free soda fountain too which we don’t have, but I’m trying to cut that shit outta my life so that’s probably for the best.
Yeah, it’s not extinct yet, but free worksite coffee is endangered where it was thriving 3 decades ago
This picture makes my tummy hurt just looking at it. I have a bit of lactose intolerance, but even with lactose free milk…I couldn’t imagine just pounding down a tall glass of milk.
Now I want a tall glass of milk and there is none to have:(
Maybe they would have to do that if you’d stop stealing the milk, Brenda
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.
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!
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.
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
New interview question: “please show me the inside of the common refrigerator.”
Turn it upside down and poke a hole in the bottom.
This person is playing 3D chess over here.
Put laxatives in your milk.
Come in with some bolt cutters. Free the milk.
Bolt cutters? My man, a simple box cutter will knock the top off those flimsy plastic shields.
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.
Couldn’t stand working with people who shop at Asda!
If it’s your own milk, fair enough.
