Workplace fridges...rant

Why do they always stink like something's died in there!? Do people have stinky fridges full of rotten food at home too?!

People have started putting names on food in our workplace fridge.
I had a great tuna sandwich called Dave yesterday.*


*I may have nicked this joke from off this forum, not sure.

I cleaned ours out a few years ago. It's not my turn again until the other 70 odd people in the dept have done their share. Most of them just open the fridge, use the milk, go "ew that's disgusting in there" and close it again.

Some of my colleagues store a lot of food all week, personally I dont need to use it, except to get milk.
I cleaned the thing out at Christmas as no-one else could be arsed, I got a few brownie points.

Its when you get blood from cuts people have, left uncleaned in there you should be worried.

You wouldn't want to look inside our works microwave then ... the spinney glass plate thingy has a symphony of different bits of different meals stuck to it (and sticking up from it).

One of these days a colleague who actually uses the microwave will have a brainwave and clean it out ... although I'm not holding my breath ... it's been nearly a year already since the last time it was cleaned!

Find an alternative to having milk and you need never open the fridge or worry about its content.

Edit: Oh, hang on, they'd need to go in the fridge wouldn't they ...

An OFSTED Science inspector was not happy to discover that we kept our sandwiches and milk in the same fridge as the dissection rats.

We couldn't see what all the fuss was about, the rats were vac packed in formaldehyde and couldn't be contaminated by our food and drink.

In out kitchen at work we have a fridge. I can't understand why people leave half a pint of milk in it that is two months out of date, next to the fridge is the bin.

Working in a food production business, our lunch fridges are pretty immaculate... How ever, some sad gits nick food out of them so my lunch just goes in my locker

Then report it to a supervisor on health and safety grounds as you are concerned that someone might get ill ? or it does not bother you enough ?

I used to take fruit teas to work so that I didn't have to brave the fridge. There were dead things in our office fridge. Our floor manager tasked me with cleaning it. I did clean it and it took all of a Monday morning and I couldn't attend the meeting and take notes. He didn't ask again. I did point out that I didn't use the fridge at all and felt that someone who did use it should clean it.
I took everything out of the fridge and binned the lot. Cleaned it very well and then shut the door and walked away.
