My only problem is with the thieves who steal stuff in the fridge. We are having a big problem with that right now. I used to be guilty of smelling up the office with sardines so I quit. But they sure hit the spot in the afternoon sometimes when you skip lunch.
I go out for lunch every day therefore I don't have to deal with the douche sacks in the office kitchen. I have to get out of this place for an hour or two during lunch so that I don't burn the place down. I absolutely hate it here and I'm counting down the days until I quit. July 1 can't get here soon enough.
Just about every day. I'm serious. We talk about her all the time. No one knows her because she works on a different floor and the staircase entrance is right by the kitchen. I guess her floor doesn't have a kitchen? I wonder what her boss thinks of her taking 30 minutes a day to COOK BREAKFAST... And yeah, while I've never had my lunch stolen from the fridge, I know some other people who have. I can't imagine anyone working in a professional job STEALING someone's else's lunch from the fridge.
i wish people would take their **** home at the end of the day instead of leaving it in there. I wish the facilities pople would empty out and clean the fridge every week.
ima, you must put up a secret camera and youtube this short-order cook in your office. She must be one of those people who actually puts in 2 hours of work in an 8 hour shift and still complains. I usually relieve work office stress by taking the coffee pot into the restroom. That's all I'm saying.
If she is fat and needs to cook her own breakfast at the office kitchen, then wouldn't be more convenient and cost-effective if she just picked up breakfast on the way into work...versus cooking a full-fledged breakfast in the office kitchen? Next time you see her...ask her if she ever thought of just toasting a bagel or muffin (or 3 or 4 of them). It might give her a few more years to live. lol Are you sure she is not a secretary and her boss is wanting the breakfast made from scratch every morning? lol
Working in an office environment has shown me that the majority of people in this world are inconsiderate and selfish assholes. The concerns the OP mentioned have been exactly the same in every office I've worked (except for the short-order cook). No amount of signage helps either.
we get people who make coffee...drink one cup...but leave the pot on the burner thing all day long without turning it off. mmmm burnt coffee
Ha, the OP pretty much described my work environment's kitchen scene. There's this fat guy that brings a grill/skillet and makes bacon/sausage/eggs/pancakes often, maybe 3 times a week. There's also a fat chick who eats ramen noodles every morning. I am not kidding. Every morning it smells like ramen in the kitchen. Also I have this old dude who washes out the plastic containers that microwavable food comes in. I'm not sure if he keeps them or what, but he uses up the sink for like 30min. He also microwaves water in his cup while cleaning it. He also brushes his teeth in the bathroom and uses mouthwash. The kicker is, he doesn't wash his hands after using the restroom, not even leaving from a stall. We also have a problem with food missing from the fridge, but I bring and eat my lunch daily so that doesn't effect me.
Maybe everyone in your office knows you just sit around and post on Clutchfans all day and realize your only real value to the office is that you always make the coffee. That, and you're the token non-fat guy. I really feel for you having to spend 5 seconds making coffee. That must be brutal. You should quit your job. Now. Plus, the bacon makes the office smell good. If you're nice to her, she might share.
Why do you think she comes down to your floor to cook? Because her boss has no idea what she is doing with this 30 min each day. If she did it on her floor, she would be in trouble.
I just started working from home about 1 month ago... and I gotta say I love it. Friends told me I'd miss the social interaction with people on a day to day basis by not being in the office. The opposite is true. I find myself no longer dealing with b.s. like the OP proclaimed in this thread - and i love every minute of it!
what about the lady that brings her homemade arts and crafts garbage and displays it all over the f'n place, hoping someone will be dumb enough to buy some of it.
