Someone stole my blueberry toast strudels out of the freezer and a few months later, stole my plum jelly from the fridge.

Pisses me off.

My workplace refrigerator rant is the fact that I was the only one who would clean it out. That stopped a couple of months ago. Someone mentioned the other day that something in there smelled bad and my comment was whatever it is isn't mine. He responded that he thought I cleaned it out. I told him I used to until it became obvious that I was the only one doing it. Still hasn't been cleaned out to the best of my knowledge.

I place my lunch in roughly the same spot on the top shelf of the 3rd fridge every day. I went to get my lunch the other day, and it was gone. So just in case, I checked the other fridges, and found my lunch in fridge number 4 in the door. I assumed someone grabbed my lunch in error, or it was one of those [expletive] Cubs fans on my floor [expletive] with me.

My company provides snacks and sodas for either 25 or 50 cents. If you take it, you mark it on a piece of paper and at the end of the month, you pay your tab. I'm convinced everyone steals every now and then which is fine by me.

Stealing your entire lunch is wrong. I steal stuff that can't be detected easily - like mustard. We have locker rooms at work for an afternoon jog, and I'll break into a locker to get some shampoo. They can't tell stuff like that. I mean they suspect stuff, by putting crazy stuff around the shampoo thinking I can't remember how to put it back.

But other than that I just don't thing that's right.

This sounds like the basis for a really funny Seinfeld or Curb story arc.

Actually I stopped stealing mustard. "We" ran out a couple of weeks ago and I had to break down and buy my own. I keep it locked up in my office, you don't need to refrigerate mustard. Besides, only an idiot puts mustard in a community refrigerator.

Confession: In the past, I've used butter, on occassion, that someone put in the fridge door, for my pop tarts. But, just a modest amount once or twice. Didn't take the last serving or anything. Eating pop tarts w/o butter is pointless, afterall.

Maybe you should consider a kitty to pay for condiments and butter etc
