    To: Subject: We need to have a talk about the fridges Hi Coworkers, The fridges in the lunchroom are now clean-ish. They are not perfect, because I do not have an extra 3 hours to deep clean them. But they are 99% better. Ya'll are some filthy animals. I mean that as nicely as possible, you disgusting creatures Executive team, please look away for a second.... Ok, now that the adults are gone, I have this to say: I am really nice to ya'll. I go out of my way to make your work lives easier.

    HOWEVER, I need everyone to remember that I have the power to make your lives juuuust inconvenient enough to anger you but not get fired. Creativity is also one of my strengths. Next time I see a banana so decomposed in the fridge that it's a pile of goo, I might just have to accidentally play Barbara Streisand music over the PA system all day long. Next time I find a Tupperware and think, "hmm, who put a terrarium in the fridge?", I might order nothing but Cracker Barrel meatloaf for six consec

I once had a roommate who would finish eating at our kitchen table and seemingly out of instinct just get up and go upstairs, leaving his plate and everything else exactly as he left it on the table. Like now that he lives alone and theirs no one there to say anything, I wonder if his place is a pigsty or if he's been forced

    Subject-Estimate6187 · 8 hr. ago This reminds me of my common area kitchen in our lab building. There were some people in our floor that treated the kitchen like their own personal pigpen, and they frequently left hordes of food in the fridge rotten and spoiled. I even posted an anonymous note on the fridge begging them to respect the common area, only for it to be removed the next day. The worst was when there was this disgusting brown liquid that pooled in the fridge cabinet and no one cleaned

Plenty of reminders on clean out day. 65 Reply Share Why_So_Slow. 4 hr. ago Ours did it every Friday early afternoon. All food containers ended up in trash, with people's evening food (canteen closed, no shop around). Fresh food, glass containers, closed new items, all of it. You had to take your food out of the fridge before the cleaning crew came and put it back afterwards, because the cleaners worked

    dezie1224 - 8 hr. ago This is my workplace and the main culprit is our head of HR. The woman is a pig. She leaves her dirty dishes in the sink, her food rotting in the communal fridge. She ng sucks. fɩ 58 Reply Share persondude27.4 hr. ago Healthcare We had an office manager who was the owner's niece. She was like 35. She drank other peoples' drinks (one person was on a specialty weight-loss smoothie program), didn't do dishes, would leave things in the fridge for weeks

    (and then getsed when we threw things out on the 14th and 28th, even though it was CLEARLY marked that today was throw-out day). The straw that broke the camel's back was when her lunch leftovers got thrown out. They'd been DoorDashed so there was a date on them, and it was like 4 days before we threw them out. So she, being the office manager, decided no one got to use the refrigerator (except for her). Fine. No one used the refrigerator. People brought in coolers, departments had mini-fridges,

    After about four months, she called an EMERGENCY meeting regarding "disrespect" in the office. Turn out that since no one was using the fridge (but her), because we weren't allowed to, no one was cleaning it out regularly. Apparently the funk of her rotting food had gotten so bad that she vomited when she opened it. She tried to pin it on the people who used to clean it, but everyone responded in turn, "No one is using it. We're not allowed to. Why would we need to clean it? It should be empty."

    more_pepper_plz. 6 hr. ago It's always the terrible HR lady who thinks they're above everything. I had the same issue when I was an admin assistant. She thought that meant personal maid. She would leave her dirty lunch dishes in the sink (only person) because "well someone else will wash theirs later so it's not hard for them to do mine too." She would also cut a 1/4 wedge out of multiple pieces of fruit in the fruit bowl and leave the rest to rot in the bowl. 16 Reply Share ...

    STORSJ1963. 6 hr. ago This seems to be a common problem. I was working for a well known banking, finance & mortgage company. The fridge & microwaves were thoroughly disgusting. So, I took it upon myself to clean them because I didn't want to get sick. Once clean, in an effort to keep them clean, I taped a note to the front of the fridge to the effect that we are not children anymore, your mother doesn't work here and we all need to be responsible adults, be considerate of our coworkers and clean
