how can a thread that doesn't reference another user be a troll attempt

the mods continue to amaze me with their incompetence

What was that old game show where contestants would eat celebrity leftovers? I think it was on MTV.

Well, if you really think about it, if, say, we were dating...at some point (maybe many times) you might have had my dong in your mouth.

What's more disgusting?

I don't factor in the saliva residue

I haven't been sick since 1998, so I'm not too worried about it

^^Yeah, that is true homey. But I wouldn't dare eat after my coworkers, that's just gross. I don't know them that well.

Truth be told, I probably wouldn't eat after my husband either. Even though I've had his cock in my mouth.

I've NEVER worked in an office where it was ok to take others' food, at least not without asking first, and I wouldn't want anyone to take mine. The things I leave in there are for me to eat. I paid for them. Sometimes it's really great leftovers from a good meal I cooked the night before.

I'm assuming this is a joke, though, so I don't know why I'm responding

as a rule, no eating of other people's food unless it is labeled as give-away

and especially do not steal their corningware with mashed potatoes they brought for lunch THAT day (still feeling bitter about that one 3 years later)

IS it her job? i would not expect that of an administrative assistant unless it was actually a known part of her job. i would expect people to act like adults and clean up after themselves. but we know THAT doesn't work. my mom was the office manager at her offices and always had to deal with fridge shit. she just would throw everything away and if people whined she'd be like, fuck you don't make a mess. at least you offer to help though...yay for one grown up

and we have a communal fridge at school and we've since had to institute a TEAM of students to manage it and clean it out once a month because people cannot deal with their own shit. it is just ridiculous, in my opinion. do people let their home fridges get like this? i am assuming yes because otherwise they'd probably be grossed out/embarrassed/etc to do it somewhere else. especially in a small office where people KNOW who you are. at least at school it is a lot harder to pinpoint the moldly leftover crowd.

Nah, I really don't think it's her job either, but no one else is gonna do it. Which is why I offer to help and we go buy those big gloves and send out an email saying "Everything in the fridge is getting thrown away at 2pm on Friday unless it's labelled."

i don't use the one at school anymore - too disgusting. plus my shit gets taken and i don't have time to conduct an investigation and confront the perpetrator(s). and by confront i obviously mean steal their food.

Yeah, this is definitely trolling.
No one is that stupid and selfish.... (I sure hope not)


Look at the formula:

1) start topic about community property, with the suggestion that anything is fair game. "Your's is mine, mine is your's."
2) wait for inevitable response from the overwhelming majority of private-property defenders (This is america)
3) say shit like, "I see TWW is a crowd of possessive infants...ITS MINE !!! GIVE IT BACK !!!" as a rebuttal
4) back-pedal, claiming you meant less than "anything is fair game.... Your's is mine, mine is your's."
5) people keep feeding troll
6) get called out for trolling
7) deny being a troll based on a new definition: "how can a thread that doesn't reference another user be a troll attempt"
8) more troll feeding
9) troll gets satisfied
10) thread topic briefly changes direction
11) thread dies
12) troll revives thread
13) some that missed it originally began to feed troll
14) troll gets satisfied
15) thread dies for good

Every office I've worked at has a sign that says something to this effect:

"Taking someone else's food from this refridgerator qualifies as STEALING, and anyone caught stealing will suffer severe consequences"

most of the time its people just trash talking / venting steam, because they can due to internet anonymity.

i just liked taking about the dynamics of communal fridges, their epic grossness, and adults that don't know how to clean up after themselves

They know how, and their home fridges are probably fine

Its just that no one wants to clean up someone else's mess

If everyone had their own personal mini fridge, they'd probably all be immaculate

The problem in this office is that everyone forgets they bring stuff in, so it just sits there. Weeks later, it molds and decays and just gets nasty. So someone has to volunteer to go in and throw away the nastiness.

I swear, just last week I saw a few yogurts in the door that had been there awhile. They expired in March.

Ours was pretty ridiculous, but someone cleaned it out recently.

I'm a firm believer in the "eat what you bring" rule - you just never know about other people's food...

I kind of see it this way: A lot of people see their lunch hour as the only "me" time they get during a busy work day. So, you bring in nice food and really enjoy yourself. The thought of getting the fuck away from the database, sitting down and enjoying that half a panini when nobody can tell you what to do can be a good motivator to keep yourself productive.

Honestly, the anticipation of the panini can be actually better than the act of eating it, but you do need to actually have the panini to round out the anticipation. If you have built up the panini and then don't get it, the rest of your day really is shot, because of the aniticpation letdown. The plans are ruined, now you have to figure out something else to do for lunch, possibly calculate how long you have to go and return from a restaurant, and that hour you were supposed to be relaxing can actually turn into more stress.

What's the solution? Lunch should just be lunch? I'm all for enjoying the little things in life, personally, and a good meal that feels like a treat always boosts my mood. I suppose the problem is the negative reaction in case the lunch is not there. Should it really be that big a deal? Probably not, but Slave up there should at least acknowledge that there's more going into food theft than losing a panini.

[Edited on June 18, 2009 at 11:50 AM. Reason : I can't believe how many times I just typed 'panini' when I've never eaten one.]
