That definitely qualified for a bio-hazard!

Our office fridge.

Three of us cleaned it out today -- I had volunteered to dispose of the food, since I can't smell.

Everyone on our floor was sent an email by the organizer of this dangerous expedition, and anything that wasn't marked/labelled got trashed. That was 98% of the "food," and I use that word loosely, in both the freezer and fridge.

Lots of disgusting items, but only one that made me scream at the top of my lungs as I was hauling it out. The entire building heard me for that one, actually.

But it's done. This time. And I came away with a very handy glass butter dish that no one claimed. If someone asks where it went I'll happily return it; otherwise, it's mine.  :-)

BTW, every cartoon/joke you've seen/read about the stereotypical office fridge is true!

Have a hazard-free weekend, everyone.  :-)


The cartoon I printed out and taped to the fridge, after we were done.

Ours gets like that, too. I try to remember to take my stuff out, but I think last time I left a bottle of pepsi because I was not sure if it was mine or not lol.

You can't smell? Can you taste? I knew someone who had no sense of smell or taste.

Ha! I do remember the break room refrig... and all it entailed. There were always signs on it telling people to 'clean up after themselves'.

I never used it. Only thing I drank at work was coffee and didn't even use the office pot for that... just Starbucks.
Kim, you can't leave us hanging like that! What was the disgusting item. I guess it's possible it was unidentifiable. It must have been really bad for a cat mom to think it gross. We deal in gross.

Our fridge gets tossed over every Friday. Stuff in it has to be initialed and dated, and everything else goes in the bin, containers and all.

Good on your for taking on the task, your nose comes in handy for a few tasks.
