Inconsiderate coworkers wrecking my hard work

grentea

So what your saying is your co-workers bring food to share with the office. They put the food in the kitchen (last I checked, that's generally where food goes), but you just can't stand it because you need to get your water from there and the sight of food in a kitchen makes you eat it?

This is like how, after 37 breakup songs, you kind of get the feeling that Taylor Swift is the problem...

Get a grip. Bring your own water. Or fill your water up in the bathroom sink. There's no HR violation here. No grounds for firing. In fact, HR would probably get your complaint and laugh at you because you're being ridiculous.

LOL! I'm convinced Taylor swift dates guys just so she can write songs about them! I mean John Mayer, come on! Everyone thinks he is an a hole.

OP has probably lost a few calories running from this thread......

I wanted to test out a new brownie recipe before I make it for the holidays, so I baked a pan yesterday and my husband and I ate some. Ok. We ate a lot. And they were amazing. But right now, there's a half pan of brownies sitting in my kitchen and I haven't touched them today. Why? Because I know I can eat them if I want, and I might have one or two for dessert, but if I eat them like I did yesterday, every day, my pants won't fit. And as delicious as those brownies were, I like having pants that fit better. It's a matter of priorities.

It doesn't matter who brought the treats or where they're located. They could be right under your nose, and if you decide not to eat them, you won't.

For that matter, I've also taught my dog the "leave it" command, and he'll ignore a treat until I tell him he can have it. Don't be less disciplined than a Pekingese.

Haha that is a good point! I will have to think of it this way from now on

would you smoke crack if it was "shoved" in your face, probably not. Just say no, it's pretty easy

Maybe if I was in a drunken stupor.

Well done.

Just because you see it doesn't mean you have to eat it.

WOW at some of the responses.

OP ignore the haterz!! They're just jealous.

I think you should not only throw the sabotage in the garbage, but report the perpetrators to HR! Good luck! :flowerforyou:

Yes, please report this to HR...they could all use a good laugh.

If they want to have a treat counter, fine, but it should not be next to the only source of water. Nobody is stopping them from putting their cake on their desk.

I agree, OP! They shouldn't use a public space for their disgusting food. Would people be okay with someone sitting naked on the break room table saying, "Come help yourself, ladies?" NO!!! They would file sexual harassment!

Talk to your boss about this, OP. Maybe they'll lose their jobs!

I really think that comparing cake to a naked person is going way too far. I don't even know how you went from cake to that.

It's pretty clear to me really.

Cake ---> Sponge Cake ---> Twinkies ---> Ding Dongs ---->..... Dongs. Naked.

I seriously just chortled in my office. out loud.

That's quiet possibly the funniest thing I've read all day.


now I can't help but think of dongs and nekkid when I'm eating cake. OMG. Sexy cake.

But only once, and then I'm totally clean.

Ok, MAYBE twice, but that's it :laugh:

Nobody is stopping you from bringing water bottles from home either. Sheesh.

And just a wee bit angry that all these strangers are asking me about it.

You should try to have their actions empower you. Take the higher ground knowing it will bother them that you're ignoring their actions whether they are intentional or not. I will bet you that eventually ask you why you don't indulge in their "treats" and this will set you abart from the sheep. Good Luck!
