    There is a policy at my work, all the refrigerators are COMPLETELY emptied every month. You want that nice mug/Tupperware container? better get it out!


    Keeps things nice and tidy.

    Once a week I cruise the frige at home for lost civilizations or unknown substances in Tupperware containers, but I am terrified of the work fridge. Atilla the Hun (a nickname the CEO gave me) runs away in terror from that enemy.

    I think the best part is that the person who was cleaning the fridge, who was suffering from allergies, wasn't bothered by any of this.

    @PartOfIMAXConspiracy_GitEmSteveDave: People can become strangely sissified in an office: people are suddenly shocked by a single expletive, the faintest foul odor makes everyone cover up their faces as if it was nerve gas, everyone becomes overly sensitive to certain noise levels.

    Story makes me wonder whether it was the disinfectants or the fact that they apparently unplugged the fridge that caused the nasties. If I recall correctly, appliances have to be plugged in to work...

    @Thud: Indeed. When you call in for help, it's the first thing tech support personnel are trained to ask you...every damn time, over and over. "Yes, yes, goddammit, as I already told the FIRST technician, and then again with the SECOND technician, and now YOU, YES my stereo is plugged in, YES it's turned on, and YES I have the speakers connected! Now can we PLEASE move on to why there is a cloud of black smoke pouring out of its vents?"

    I imagine a lot of people who left didn't really feel ill. I would've ducked out along with them pretending to be extremely sick from the terrible smell. Unless everyone had pad thai and sesame chicken with lo mein in there, how bad could it really have been? Just the same, I can understand why no one in the office would clean it up. I sure as hell wouldn't get in there, unless I was being paid specifically to do it. Do it once, and they may expect you to clean it again when neglect kicks in in the future. Fuck that.

    @Kaiser-Machead: I helped a friend of mine clean her refrigerator once. It was gag worthy for sure. If the office had no designated fridge cleaner… it could get nasty. I could mail you evidence if you like.

    @Software_Goddess: I once helped clean out some guy's trailer, and this thing was sitting festering on its own in the middle of a Minnesotan winter. The fridge was stocked with a few things, but the power was off, so this thing sat for over 4 months stewing away in a Kenmore. When I opened that thing up, I could almost see the odor molecules rush out and hit me in the face. We discovered that there were a lot of meat products in there, but you wouldn't be able to tell, because they looked like tie-dye Chia pets. So we put on our quasi-hazmat gear and scrubbed that puppy to Sears floor model condition. After that day, I can take almost anything within reason, and even things that vomit on the border.

And in fact, this story is not old news, is it? It's really NEW news, like YESTERDAY really new news. What's old is JUST THOSE DAMN LUNCHES!!!

    @Zeus: Aw, why did you have to bring up such old, sad memories for me? This blender tragedy has already happened to somebody I loved...


    * sighs *


    Her name was "Maragarita". It was a devastating accident, only made better with time and a slice of lime, and sometimes with a salty rim. Since Margi, I've since hooked up with her sister, Mary. She sells expensive kitchen knives door-to-door and I sincerely hope no job-related accident befalls her.

    Huge question, though very quaint and pretty, who doesn't already have a Kitchen? And if you live someplace without a kitchen, how can you afford to buy this?


    Oh wait, you know, I guess there are rich people that rent out spare rooms and stuff and perhaps moving their senior folks in, so I can see it there.

    @Shamoononon has hebetudinous dog ★★★★★: Good for conversions of smaller places. Uncle's place was just converted so that the basement was also a living space, so it obviously did not have a kitchen. However, as my family is a gaggle of foodies, a kitchen-in-a-box is not really an option. Gotta cook with gas :D
