    Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, “gee, i didn’t bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some”? These kinds of tactics don’t come from nowhere

      I literally had this argument with the coworker who would eat other people’s food:

      “ did you eat my fucking sandwich??”

      “Oh. It was yours?”

      “Why the fuck would you do that??”

      “Well i didn’t know it was yours”

      “But you knew for certain it wasn’t YOURS, since you didn’t make and bring it!”

      “People should label stuff if they don’t want it to get eaten”

      Most frustrating person i ever met. Laziest fuck ever too. This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet

        Duh, a sandwich is the kind of thing one would never expect being left around with the purpose of being someone’s personal lunch. You’re obviously in the wrong here complaining. Asshole.

      I don’t get how the people here are offended by this. Entitlement? It’s so fun to bring something in to just to find out it’s gone before you even opened it. Even with a god damn name label. If I bought a carton of milk, I wouldn’t mind sharing some, but not the entire thing for one person to make porridge from. At that point you cunts can just buy your own shit.

        Yeah, can you believe how some people are so entitled they *check notes* expect to be able to use the food they bought

    A more pertinent concern is having to work with the person whose behavior precipitated this reaction.

    One person locking their milk makes them a weirdo. Three means someone else is.

    The really offensive part is having >2 liters of milk, per person, in a work fridge. What the fuck do you need so much for? I bet that fridge smells like a mix of spoiled milk and utter distrust for other human beings.

      This picture makes my tummy hurt just looking at it. I have a bit of lactose intolerance, but even with lactose free milk…I couldn’t imagine just pounding down a tall glass of milk.

      It is British milk. Even as a Brit myself it astonishes me how much tea some people drink in a day. That shit must literally ooze from the pores of some people.

        I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain …

        Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.

          In the US most employers used to provide coffee and some kind of creamer free for employees.

          About 25-30 years ago the capitalists realized their employees wouldn’t quit over not having free coffee, so they stopped providing free coffee.

          Maybe you got the custom from them, but they have decivilized while y’all have maintained?

        so I’ve had tea in Ireland and the UK, and my observation is that most people just use an ounce of milk for a cuppa, right?

        how much tea is this type of freak, that needs this much milk at work, drinking?

    How about fixing the problem by having the management provide free milk? It’s about a pound a day for them and everyone is happier.

      Then you run into the problem of people using excessive amounts of free milk leaving others without the chance to even get any. Better and safer to bring your own if you rely on it.

    Why does one of the jugs have an infection warning on it? Are these bio samples at a lab and the locks are a safety measure?

      I worked at a hospital, and sometimes the Emergency Dept nurses would be cheeky and use the biohazard bags and stickers for their food items. nobody is going to eat my cookies if they have to blindly trust someone being a joker lol

    I work at a place that went from having bbq’s and get togethers to… well, nothing in about five years. Yesterday we got a company wide e-mail to tell us the CEO is GTFO’ing and being replaced by an external hire. I’m not worried at all though. In fact, I’m kinda hoping to be fired for the severance. Fuck this job :D

      My story exactly. Company still has summer parties but they cut a lot of benefits, started firing people and the level of gaslighting went up dramatically. I was looking for something else but fortunately stayed long enough to get fired and cash out. Found new job in 1.5 months. I’m almost grateful to them for being such assholes.

    Who can be bothered to steal someone else’s semi-skimmed milk anyway‽ Full cream or bust.
