      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.

    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

        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.

        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?

          The inside corner of his shoes were warped and smashed because he’d just slip his feet into his shoes and wiggle em in. Dude was so lazy I was convinced he never washed his water bottle and had mono or something cause the dude even spoke slow, like Kevin from the office

      So I have to cook for my clients every day. Leftovers from most meals are kept in our staff fridge because the guys will absolutely gorge themselves on them if left alone.

      Every fucking morning, our old nurse would come in and head straight for the fridge to make a plate of those leftovers. Never once brought in her own breakfast or lunch. If the behaviorist didn’t cook something for her for lunch when she was serving the guys, she’d go right back in the fridge.

      Say there was enough for a whole other meal and we planned to use it again, put a big label like “FOR FRIDAY’S DINNER.” It didn’t matter… You’d go in and there’d be a huge chunk missing. One day, she actually ate a half of a half-serving tray worth of meat. I went in the next day and flipped. “Oh, I didn’t know it was for today.” “IT HAS A LABEL ON IT THAT SAYS IT’S FOR DINNER! I HAVE NOTHING TO GIVE THEM NOW! YOU ATE HALF THE MEAT MEANT FOR 8 PEOPLE!” “Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t know…”

      It didn’t stop her, either… The worse part is that she was skinny as a twig.

      You know what, I wouldn’t even bother if it happened once. I wouldn’t like to be in the same situation, and while I would ask first, I understand we’re not the same. The moment it happens the second time, though… Pure laxative with white food colouring.

        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 people can notice weird cultural things and make jokes about it? Genuinely curious about your reasoning here.

        To me its much weirder that it’s normalized to drink baby milk from another species, to the point that it seems completely normal, but each to their own.

    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 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.
