So apparently people don't like it when you microwave shrimp at work.

this and broccoli. Double whammy if some asshole reheats both at once.
At my old workplace, some sales guy did this. The whole building reaked for hours. Everyone there stopped by his cube to tell him off with a big FU.
It was like the scene in Airplane where people were waiting in line to "calm" the panicked woman down.

Jesus, bring a sandwich like a normal person.

I think his name is DCal430, not Jesus. :sneaky:

I'm enjoying this thread. Cube monkeys putting up with a company telling them what they can eat. 😀

This isn't about anyone telling someone what to eat - I hardly think you can call what's happening here authoritarian. This is about basic common courtesy to others.

wrap your food in aluminum foil, slide it into a paper bag and nuke it in a microwave will really get people to talking. And not in a good way.

Had a older co-worker do that at a place I used to worked at, started a fire in the microwave.

We had some idiot that froze a can of mountain dew then tried to defrost it in the micro, can exploded, blew door open and caused a huge mess..

At my last two jobs people were always abusing the mini-kitchen. Coffee pot was a sick disgusting mess. Microwave even worse. Sink had god-knows-what in it.
Sad thing is the cleaning people took care of it each night. EVERY SINGLE DAY those fucking assholes fucked it up again.
Fuckers.

I couldn't cut it in an office environment. Too many pussies for me.

First time someone confronted me over my popcorn reeking I'd laugh in their face and then we could go from there if they'd like.

It very leaves a very strong smell that finds its way through the halls. Not everybody wants to smell your popcorn.

I think it's more because people will overcook it and you get that burnt popcorn smells that never seems to dissipate.

Too busy digging ditches, probably used to foul smells. You're such a bad ass.

had a co-worker that microwaved her wendy's burger..in the foil wrapper. we got like 30 mins off work while the fire alarms went off and we had to leave the building. and we got a brand new microwave! 😀

Use MRE heaters. The little girls will long for the days when you cooked in the microwave instead.

 

[gothamhunter]

That stuff smells 🙁

Especially if you hate fish. I hate fishy flavored and smelling stuff... Yuck.

 

[Rubycon]

Yes inside (unvented) ovens should never be used for smelly foodstuffs. I agree, popcorn is probably the worst whether it burns or not!

Galley ovens power vented outside don't have this issue. 🙂

Some places have a no popcorn policy in place. Do it and you are terminated.

Nope sorry I don't dig ditches even though I'm not above doing that. And yes I am a bad ass. Real life. I keep myself in top physical condition and have never been one to shy away from a fist fight.

ALL seafood should be banned from the workplace.

 

[pcgeek11]

Kim Chee with shrimp and rice.

 

[brainhulk]

shrimp paste

If they have a proper cafeteria/mess hall, etc. then I don't have a problem with it. What's gross is people sitting at their desk using their PC/telephone and eating. D:

i'm missing the gross part? are you just talking about seafood?

i'll stand there and eat a sammich (yes that's how it's spelled) with one hand and turn wrenches with the other. i always figured that was worse.

Sitting at a desk and eating is just gross. I can always tell if people do that by crumbs in their keyboard, soda pop spit on their monitor (must be reading jokes on ATOT - not!) :biggrin: Crumbs in the telephone mouthpiece slits though are the worst! The only thing that could possibly top that is a mouse in a glue trap that gets rolled over by a chair wheel and looks like a meatball sub for a kids meal. D:³

Speaking of turning wrenches I've seen mechanics eating a sandwich with fingers dirty enough they leave grease prints on their bread and don't care! :biggrin:

 

[Whisper]

I've seen at least a few microwaves that had signs "prohibiting" people from warming up fish and shrimp. I can understand why, but I laughed when I saw all the exclamation marks.

mmm, grease just adds a little extra special flavor that you just don't get elsewhere! (Sadly, I do know what grease tastes like.)

You have to know how to do it. Mouse and keyboard get pushed away, and you keep a clean hand for the computer, and one to eat with. There's little I hate worse than a sticky tactile experience. Guitars are the worst. I used to hate when someone played my guitar with grubby fingers, and left funk(not the good kind) on the strings.
