    Do you work at my office??? :laugh: I'm laughing because I just refilled my candy jar that the entire floor shares in, and over the past couple weeks there's been a mean bug traveling through the office. I left a bottle of hand sanitizer up there with a note, specifically because it's just that time of year.

    Was afraid people would think I was being nuts. Guess this confirms it. :blushing:

    I have a co-worker that has a candy dish on her file cabinet which she fills with wrapped candy for everyone. Sitting next to the candy dish is a bottle of hand sanitizer. Most people do not think to use it before taking the candy since the candy is wrapped (boxes of nerds, suckers, tootsie rolls ect). She gets mad because no one uses the sanitizer and is making a HUGE fuss about it. How she doesn't want to get sick and then bring germs home to her kids too. Although I can totally understand wanting people to sanitize first....Quite frankly I wouldn't think to use the sanitizer either. I'm thinking that if you're going to be this fussy about your candy dish...why have one in the office for everyone. Any thoughts??? Discuss.......

    Discussing, maybe she thought it was a polite, yet ingenious way to avioid spreading germs, so she is :mad:


    ^^^ I could understand candy dish sanitizer ladies point of view BUT she literally talked of nothing else all morning and she finished it off by having a panic attack. People who are that germiphobic shouldn't bring in food for the whole office to share.

    Your co-worker is a lunatic. If there's going to be a candy dish in your workplace, it should be out in a common area and refilled with items purchased by the company ... not something someone puts on their desk in order to rope people into conversation/gossip. We have 2 candy dishes at my work, 1 for chocolate and 1 for hard candy. The chocolate one had plain M&M's loose in it for people to just grab a handful for the longest time until someone complained about "germs" so they put a paper cup in there to scoop the M&M's out... which honestly makes zero sense considering you're still touching the cup and the cup is still touching the candy...

    Boycott her candy dish if she's going to be germ phobic.
