I chucked somebody's tupperwear this morning...

[Dids]

... as part of a war I'm having with a nameless, faceless enemy at work.

Somebody, or multiple somebodies, apparently enjoys some kinda 237 grain hot cereal for breakfast. The sort of stuff that if you don't instantly wash the cup after you eat it, will fuse to the cup and require a sandblaster to remove.

Whoever this person had the nasty habit of setting their chosen eating vessel in the sink in our kitchen and leaving it there for mulitple days. (probably a 2-3 hour soak would be more than enough, and I'm fine with that)

I find standing water with nasty cereal sitting in the sink kinda gross, so a couple times I would clean out the mug and set it aside. The last time I did this, I was just getting sick of it, so after I cleaned the cup I left a note inside of it asking the person to clean up after themselves and not leave others with that burden.

This appeared to stop things, either that or the culprit moved off this floor or stopped working here. The mug and note stayed in the break room, but no others appeared.

About a week ago a new mug showed up. I gave it a day to be removed, it wasn't, so I cleaned it, set it next to the old mug, and moved the note into the new mug.

This morning I came in to find a tupperwear dish soaking in the sink, the new mug and note gone. Same nasty ass cereal in the dish. Now I know that people have goofy personal attachments to their mugs, so I'm not going to do anything there, but tupperwear, that's disposable, so dispose of it I did.

My next step, should this continue, is probably an email to everybody on the floor with a picture of the offending object and an explanation that if this is your mug/dish, you are a lesser human being.

keepin' it real all day long

I thought there was some rule against using OOT as your personal, long-winded, lame-ass blog.

I'm [censored] awesome to work with. I'm just nitty about how people use public spaces. As I explained in another thread, this room doesn't get regular janitorial service, so it's up to us to keep it clean. When people leave their nasty rotting [censored] in the sink, I want it to stop.

[guids]

I suggest you buy this.

[A S U]

There's a nit like you in every office.

We had someone at work who would send out blanket e-mails about stupid stuff such as this. You may be shocked to learn that noone liked this person.

Points

1- I'm very well liked at work.

2- The note I left in the mug was hilarious

3- The email will be funny as well.

4- For all of you who think this is nitty, do you just ignore the nasty [censored] in the sink you use each morning?

The only thing I question is how you know the tupperware had been in the sink for more than a couple of hours if you first saw it when you arrived in the morning. Assuming it had been there for a day or more, throwing it out is a no brainer.

[Lazy Meatball]

this is very nitty and douchey.

I think you should find another sink to use. assuming you use this sink and don't just clean stuff in it out of compulsion.


ps. How long is the drive from Seattle to Vancouver? I'm considering summer vacation options.
