Pixy stix, chex mix, cut-up zucchini and oyster crackers

This is what's in the breakroom this morning. People often dump their leftovers there, free for the taking. Apparently, someone had a party this weekend (maybe with kids and adults).

Someone made a zucchini man, with oyster-cracker eyes, pretzel arms and features drawn on with Pixy Stix-and-water icing. He clearly has too much time on his hands.

What gross things have you seen in breakrooms recently?

2. No matter how tempting it is... and I KNOW it is plenty tempting....

Do NOT snort the Pixy Stix.

3. It would be worse to snort the Chex mix.

4. Well, perhaps.

But as I've no experience doing lines of Chex Mix, I cannot comment.

6. So...

8. Uh. Yeah.

After the 6th or 7th line, it really starts to hurt.

Try explaining it to your boss when you've just brought your face up from the table after inhaling a bunch of powder and you now have a nosebleed.

10. I think I probably won't.

Was this on a dare? Bet? Just because you're nuts?

12. Dare.

Of course, the conversation began with me asking my co-worker "hey, you dare me to snort 8 Pixy Stix?"

It all went downhill from there. ;)

5. Ours pretty much stays empty.

These guys usually eat everything they bring. When they don't, and I have to throw out stuff, I sure as heck can't recognize whatever it is. It is really gross, but all abandoned-for-weeks food is.

9. There are some horrifying science experiments in the fridge

Every six weeks or so, the fridge gets cleaned out...except for the door. The cleaning crew forgets the door more often than not. So, there is yogurt in the door from two years ago.

11. The cleaning crew cleans out the fridge?!

I hate hate hate my cleaning crew now.

:grr:

Seriously? Yogurt from two years ago? I have to wonder why the hell no one throws anything out, as I'm throwing all that stuff out. I mean the trash can's not 10 steps away from the fridge, so wtf?

7. I refuse to enter our breakroom

Someone is inevitably burning the holy hell out of something in the microwave or toasting something akin to expired eggs in the little oven. Plus, I swear, some of these folks eat with their feet and throw food at each other. It's like the monkey house at the zoo.
