An email to my co-workers

Dear Work People:

The sound you just heard from the break room was me gagging. I’m so sorry about that. I took the liberty of throwing out the majority of the Tupperware containers in the refrigerator.  The mold on on the inside hindered me from identifying the original contents.  There’s no way I will allow the person who belongs to that Tupperware take the monstrosity home and try to scrub away the filth.  I’m sorry.  It was ingrained in the plastic.

There was also a nice little surprise in a Pappacito’s styrofoam take-home box.  It was sealed tight in a plastic bag.  Why on earth I decided to open the bag and investigate is beyond me, but I did.  The smell that wafted from said bag was indescribable.  There were no words.  That is why I had to literally go primal and make a guttural noise.  Obviously, the bag was thrown in the trash.  Good luck janitor lady.

All this to say, if you are looking for your Tupperware from four months ago, it died a slow painful death and was laid to rest today.

You are welcome.

Lincee

This seems to be a universal problem in office break rooms! Why are people so disgusting?

OMG!!!!! That is what it’s like in my lunch room too. You’re a brave woman Lincee. I counldn’t have done it. The stuff left in the fridge to die, is only slightly less disgusting than some of the stuff that people actually heat up for lunch. I have two words for you… Fish Head. I know I saw it sitting there waiting to go in the microwave, and it was all I could do to keep from throwing up right there on the kitchen floor.

See? This is exactly why you should be blogging daily. I was blinking back tears (long story, involved having to call animal control on 2 really cute dogs that somebody dumped in front of my office) and read your little note and was able to overcome the female emotions that were threatening to release an embarassing onslaught of tears at work. THANK YOU! Hahaha!

however when someone throws away a perfectly good dessert (sealed and in a cake pan) from the day before, that’s not ok! That’s what happened to me today… I was really looking forward to a slice of upside down pumpkin pie for lunch, but nooooo! Maybe it was God’s way of telling me that I don’t need dessert.

Wow, this sounds like my office too! Why are adults so gross? They would never let their fridge at home get like that, so why is the one in the office any different?

AMEN! My office needs to do the same thing. Everyday I throw away a Tupperware container, old milk jug, wal-mart sack with old food left in it, or To-Go boxes that never make it home-thinking this will make it easier to clean out. However, every morning I open the fridge and more crap is in there. It’s multiplying and I don’t understand how.

You need to come to my office. We have two full size refrigerators with that problem. I used to post a memo on the doors and tell them to take what they want out by Friday at 4pm because I would be cleaning them out. They wouldn’t comply. Then I realized that I never gave birth to any of these yahoos and stopped with the advanced warning. Now, when I see penicillin growing, I just toss it. Dish and all. A friend has the perfect word for these people…cow-orkers. They aren’t co’s…they are cows.

Just disgusting the things peope leave..and you know they wouldn’t do that crap at home! Lazytards!
