Work Etiquette

If you are going to use the communal can opener to open your catfood errr, i mean tuna, please  have the common decency to rinse the sink out and wash the can opener after you got gross tuna juice all over it. 

I came around the corner and all I could smell was the tuna juices.  Chicky ate her lunch like 45 minutes ago.

Blah.

Gross, Mandy.

If your food spills over in the microwave, clean it up so all the spills don't build up over time. Both of our microwaves look like murder scenes when you open them. Disgusting.

Also-- It is common decency to do your own dishes. Don't leave them in the sink for weeks at a time, hoping someone else will do them.

I HATE tuna at work.  I have two co-workers that LOVE eating the Weight Watchers tuna noodle casserole dinners for lunch.  They eat them 2-3 times a week, and they sit in the middle of the office so the smell emanates everywhere.  And the microwave retains fish stink for a good long time afterwards too.  Vom.

If you drop food on the floor pick it up.

Yeah we have that problem in our breakroom too and the sink isn't that big so if this guy leave's his bowl soaking in the sink, I have to touch it to move it to get to the water.  Gross and annoying.

Yeah we have a dishwasher and people cannot be bothered to put their stuff in there.  Seriously.  How much harder is it to put a dish in the dishwasher than it is into the sink?! 

It's annoying.  The receptionist and I are always doing it.  I feel bad for her because it gets dropped onto her shoulders and that's not fair.

Our microwaves got so bad a couple years ago that our boss decided to just throw them out and get new ones.

Ughh. I work for a college, so we have a student kitchen and it gets SO disgusting over there. I heard one woman say that "they pay so much in tuition that the UNICO workers should just take care of it". So entitled.

Ditto on sharing office cooking items and not cleaning - I hate that.  One of the people at my work brought in her own microwave because she was sick of no one cleaning up after themselves- everyone judged her- I thought good for her.

but I will take that tuna smell any day over what I smelled this morning.

There is a tunnel connecting the red line and blue line (trains) in Chicago.  A homeless man panhandles there.. today it smelled like urine.  (not just a little.. like overwhelming- can you hold your breath for 90 seconds?)  There is absolutely no ventilation in the tunnel -  I am taking the bus tonight and hoping it smells ok by Monday!

Work microwaves are always gross.

We had a lot of people stealing food out of the fridge for a while. I had someone eat half my quesadilla once and put the rest back. WTF?

pumpkinpumpkin

That's fucking nasty. And I like canned fish. But it's still gross.

scoetto

I do not like canned fish. The smell or the taste. Icky.

mandysmear

Our microwaves are actually pretty clean.  Surprisingly.

MissLeahM

Do you know whose can it is? I'd be inclined to throw it in their personal trashcan.

lisarose7

One of my coworkers won't throw anything stinky in his own garbage...he uses mine instead.  Fortunately I know him well enough that when he does, I just go over and switch our trash cans if I can't stand the stink and tell him he's an ass...in work-appropriate language, of course.
