On the pure, naked FURY of somebody 'borrowing' a splash of your milk from the workplace communal refrigerator

On the pure, naked FURY of somebody 'borrowing' a splash of your milk from the workplace communal refrigerator

It was bound to happen sooner or later. I open the workplace communal fridge to find my personal milk supply on a different shelf and somewhat emptier than I had left it.

Time, I think, for the Red Dwarf Gambit:

Take that, you milk-swilling curs.

It didn't taste like dog milk.

I've been debating debating over my work milk for a long time now. You see, there's coffee club milk, which is a free for all and is marked with CC, and then there's other people's milk, some of which is labelled, others aren't. I've always maintained it's ridiculous labelling milk, as if it isn't yours, you shouldn't touch it. I have the orange milk from Sainsbury's and the colour of the bottle used to put people off, but not any more. I'm considering salting some, but I'm not that mean. It's most annoying when someone either uses it all up, opens and unseals your fresh bottle (you might have been meaning to take it home!), or leaves you with so little it's not enough for a cup of tea. I buy myself milk because I want it to be there, not so I can get part way through the tea making process before discovering I have to either let my brew go cold whilst I walk to the shop to fetch more, drink the tea black (*greuuugh!*) or forgo my assam pleasure.

The bastard milk thieves. And supposedly this is a building full of highly intelligent, motivated and competent individuals.

I think you are being had on the communal fridge bit. It appears to be cleaner than any communal work fridge I've ever known and a lot emptier. Where is the tub of pasta salad and year old yoghurt?

TRT - Do not equate intelligent with mature or ethical. Or smart.

An easy solution to this in student halls was to add green food colouring, making it look mouldy. Nobody would chuck it out, but also nobody would put it in their milk.

Unfortunately green doesn't work in offices, some busybody assumes it IS mouldy and chucks it out. Blue works quite well because it's weird enough that people don't want to try it and red works quite well because it looks more like strawberry milk afterwards and no right-minded person wants that in their tea/coffee!

Why don't all offices come equipped with a tethered cow? I'm gonna put it to Hillary Duvet. Imagine the 'water cooler' flirting, but with a farting cow as the meeting point.

I thought it was law there was an office cow. But I'm staying well away from the titties on ours.
