I work at a company that has been at the same location for 20+ years, basically the building was built for us. The Office Manager was there watching them pour the foundation (probably telling the construction crew how they were doing it wrong), and has worked here the entire time. She is a lovely woman, bless her heart, but she has MAJOR control issues.
The company graciously provides a lunchroom, microwaves, oven, and refrigerator, for employee use. Every few months or so, the ENTIRE company gets an email about "proper food labeling procedures for lunchroom refrigerator", or "refrigerator clean-out schedules", or "reminder not to eat food that is not yours", or "dirty dish left in lunchroom". Not only are 100+ employees treated like children, but the Office Manager becomes personally offended if you even question the practice.
Three days ago I left food in the refrigerator that was not "properly" labeled and it was thrown out during that evening's "clean-out". REALLY!?!? The sliced ham and buns were careefully packaged, less that six hours old, and meant for me to bring home for my kids to make lunch sandwiches. I did not label it because I meant to bring them home that day, but I forgot. PENALTY!!!!!
The next day, I posted the following sign on my office door:
(I know, very passive-aggressive)
----
WARNING - I if you eat your lunch in the refrigerator, I may eat it!
Consider yourself warned, lie you are warned that if your food is not labeled to the Office manager's specifications, it may be thrown out for no good reason. Apparently we care more about treating employes like small children than keepig good food from goingto waste, and wasting money!

Some folks laughed when they saw it, the Office Manager didn't even get the joke......
So, look out, I may eat your lunch.
