Mad drama in my workplace kitchen today.
8:00 am. Someone steals co-worker A's unopened, still sealed carton of milk. Leaves empty carton in fridge. Co-worker A writes well thought out request on company web board, asking that whoever stole the milk please replace it and refrain from stealing again. She buys new milk.
10:00 am. Co-worker B checks on fridge. Someone has typed up a note that reads : "I took some of you milk" and taped it on co-worker B's milk. Co-worker B responds to Co-worker A's thread. concurring that it's very childish behavior. Building management is alerted.
12:00 noon. Building management lady posts sign on fridge saying that when the person responsible for the note is caught, they will be terminated per company guidelines on stealing.
2:00 pm. I am talking to co-worker C who sits right by the fridge. She says she has not seen anyone out of the ordinary at our fridge all day. She goes back to her desk, and I go to file room to put away some papers.
2:17 pm : I come back and there is a huge lot of people, including co-workers A,B and C in front of the fridge. Someone has handwritten a note (in green ink) that reads "*bleep* you, you can't fire what you can't catch" and taped it across the note from building management. Needless to say, people are shocked and confused since no one saw anyone out of the ordinary at the fridge. Building management lady comes back with VP of this division to confiscate the note.
2:25 pm : I respond to company web board and concur with co-workers A & B. I sit near the kitchen too, and I also have not seen anyone weird here all day. So it has to be a regular.
2:30 : In my shock and amazement that this childish behavior is occurring in a professional office environment, I take 2 minutes out of my day to share this bit of craziness on the DIS....
More later.

! i'm sure i wouldn't be laughing if i worked there, and i agree that it is very immature, but i thought it was funny since i'm not involved with the situation.
