so ive recently had to use a communal staff fridge at work (normally have a small one in the office but its been taken away broken)and i gotta say it SUX.


Seriously u cheap bastards buy ur own food/drinks and label it and every1 will be happy.

oh no, u have to use my milk and food so at lunch i have to re-buy everything for me...LAME.

sorry i had to get that off my chest.

I may add notes on my stickers tomorrow such as "ive spat in this" etc., etc.,

any tips??

label your milk "breastmilk" guaranteed nobody will EVER touch it again

I have a little "lunchbox" in our community fridge, I keep my stuff in there. Seems like if people have to search through there to find something, they usually are to lazy to put in the effort. They just take the first thing they see. Works for me.

We have a full size fridge here and the lousy bastards have stolen/eaten other people's food.
Everyone here makes a good salary and they do that triflin' shit.

It solves a lot of problems if you bring only what you're going to eat that day.

Leaving stuff in a communal 'frig overnight or for days at a time is just asking for trouble.

That's a good idea.

I remember when I was a kid my babysitters daughter had milk in a container in the fridge...I drank some then spit it out. I realized it was probably breast milk. The daughter just had a baby...and the milk looked funny.

Buy your own little fridge?

I wrote a note on my sub sandwich once. It said "touch it and die!" I guess a few people seen it. They thought it was funny but all it really takes is one old fucking biddy to bitch about it and I could be in trouble for making threats so I've kept my note writing to a minimum. I've been bringing my own insulated lunchbag with an ice pack. It keeps things pretty cool. I even bring coffee creamer and butter. It stays cool for the whole day.

I know writing a threat is bad....so I write something like "don't you dare touch!" or "keep your hands off"

Mould effect zip-lock bags:

Until someone throws your sandwich away.

I am sooooo thankful I don't have those problems at my job.
I keep milk and yogurt in my work fridge at all times (milk for my tea and I have yogurt for breakfast every morning) and the only problem I have is remembering to check it's in the right fridge before the weekend so it doesn't get thrown out (we have two and they are cleaned out on Fridsy evenings, alternating one each week).

The worst is people who bring stuff or leave their half eaten lunch in the fridge and forget about it. By the end of the week there's a bunch of stinky, green stuff in there. I bring my own lunch pail and avoid the fridge altogether.

Aw man I forgot my lunch in the fridge!

I worked with a guy back in college who had one of those old fashioned lunch boxes with the clasp, he had this small lock that he would use. He was strange though.

I used to do that to my manager at my old job!
but she's a really good cook and would always bring too much lunch, plus we're friends so it was okay

This thread made me drive to work and rescue my food for tonight's supper.

Im thinking of putting my milk in a thermos...perhaps that will be a deterrent...

lunchbox = great idea will do.

at my office it was more of a science experiment. People would put stuff in there and not go back to retrieve it.

Put a "biohazard" sticker on it?

You don't know the men I know - they like the smell of ripe pits and crotch - this would not stop them.

Who said that?
