‘Pantry Queen’ coworker screams and cries at colleagues for leaving the office ice cube tray empty: ‘[She] stormed out of the pantry’

We all have that one coworker (and it's not the office manager) who tries to run their workplace like the Navy. No, Stacy, you don't have full rein over the soap choices in the communal bathroom. Hey, Andrew, the office pantry is not the place to take out your at-home frustrations on—the same sentiment applies to your coworkers, too.

Each workplace has someone like this. This specific colleague might not be as abrasive as the colleague in the story below, but they come pretty dang close. Why do folks think they're entitled to treat their coworkers like kindergartners? Then, they come to realize that they're the ones who are actually acting like the children they believe exist around them. It doesn't make any sense… But, then again, in their minds, they don't need to make sense. They just need to scream, and scream loudly.

The narrator in the next story describes their colleague as the "Pantry Queen". This colleague visits the office pantry at least eight times per shift, and she admits that she needs to be in the pantry for at least 15 minutes, too. Well, this pantry-centric colleague loses it when their picture-perfect setting—the pantry, of course—is tainted: Someone forgot to fill the ice cube tray. All heck breaks loose. Scroll to read.
