For Pete's Sake!
We have one of those small office fridges here at work. A fridge I'm constantly throwing stuff out of since everyone thinks that the food they leave in the fridge magically apparates away or something. Anyway, some dear coworker decided it would be cool to put an opened, nearly full can of coke on the top shelf. Guess who just knocked it over, not knowing it was open?? Right in one! I just spent ten minutes on my hands and knees cleaning coke up from all over the inside of the fridge and the surrounding floor.
I'm just waiting for him to demand, "Who threw out my coke?!??!"
I am not pleased.

Don't know who it was. I said, "he" since I'm the only female that works here, and I know it wasn't me! :)
Posted by: Ith at June 25, 2004 12:31 PMIs it possible the reason they think the fridge miraculously cleans itself of old food items is because you're always doing it? I decided long ago to avoid the office politics and of the fridge and the microwave, regardless of the cost to me. Just not even going near them.
Posted by: Norman at June 25, 2004 2:55 PMNo, I need to use the fridge. I don't leave the warehouse at lunch so I need the room. As small as it is, if you need room for your stuff it means tossing the mouldering piles of rotting food left by others :)

Our office has fridge clean-out days every second Friday, when our mailroom/all-purpose guy gets to throw EVERYTHING out. People may get cranky about losing their day-old Chili's leftovers, but they sure learn to mark the clean-out days on their calendars after that. I hate when I'm covering the mailroom duties and end up having to do the tossing out...I don't want people to hate me. :-)
Is that the same person who didn't include you in the donut run?
It must be a member of Greenpeace, they wanted to recycle the can AND the Coke inside of it.
