    It is British milk. Even as a Brit myself it astonishes me how much tea some people drink in a day. That shit must literally ooze from the pores of some people.

    Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.

      How about fixing the problem by having the management provide free milk? It's about a pound a day for them and everyone is happier.

      Then you run into the problem of people using excessive amounts of free milk leaving others without the chance to even get any. Better and safer to bring your own if you rely on it.

        Whenever his milk starts going off at home, he locks it up and brings it to the office to see how long people will respect the locks before throwing away rotten milk.

          Maybe they wouldn't have to do that if you'd stop stealing the milk, Brenda

            I don't get how the people here are offended by this. Entitlement? It's so fun to bring something in to just to find out it's gone before you even opened it. Even with a god damn name label. If I bought a carton of milk, I wouldn't mind sharing some, but not the entire thing for one person to make porridge from. At that point you cunts can just buy your own shit.

              I bet each of those cheap ass locks could easily be shimmed open with a piece of a soda can in a few seconds. I would open each one and just leave it on the shelf next to each bottle. I don’t even drink milk. Just to let them know their obnoxious system is pointless

                    Just because it’s there, doesn’t mean you have to milk the pun for all it’s worth.

                      The really offensive part is having >2 liters of milk, per person, in a work fridge. What the fuck do you need so much for? I bet that fridge smells like a mix of spoiled milk and utter distrust for other human beings.

                      This picture makes my tummy hurt just looking at it. I have a bit of lactose intolerance, but even with lactose free milk.....I couldn't imagine just pounding down a tall glass of milk.

                        Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, "gee, i didn't bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some"? These kinds of tactics don't come from nowhere

                        I literally had this argument with the coworker who would eat other people’s food:

                        “ did you eat my fucking sandwich??”

                        “Oh. It was yours?”

                        “Why the fuck would you do that??”

                        “Well i didn’t know it was yours”

                        “But you knew for certain it wasn’t YOURS, since you didn’t make and bring it!”

                        “People should label stuff if they don’t want it to get eaten”

                        Most frustrating person i ever met. Laziest fuck ever too. This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet

                          I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain ...

                              Duh, a sandwich left in the fridge is the kind of thing no one would ever expect being someone's personal lunch. You're obviously in the wrong to complain about it. Asshole.

                                I work at a place that went from having bbq's and get togethers to... well, nothing in about five years.
                                Yesterday we got a company wide e-mail to tell us the CEO is GTFO'ing and being replaced by an external hire.
                                I'm not worried at all though. In fact, I'm kinda hoping to be fired for the severance. Fuck this job 😄

                                My story exactly. Company still has summer parties but they cut a lot of benefits, started firing people and the level of gaslighting went up dramatically. I was looking for something else but fortunately stayed long enough to get fired and cash out. Found new job in 1.5 months. I'm almost grateful to them for being such assholes.

                                    In the US most employers used to provide coffee and some kind of creamer free for employees.

                                    About 25-30 years ago the capitalists realized their employees wouldn't quit over not having free coffee, so they stopped providing free coffee.

                                    Maybe you got the custom from them, but they have decivilized while y'all have maintained?

                                        I remember solving something similar using an opaque bottle with "GI supplements, don't drink" written in sharpie. Especially since the first time it was actually true and they didn't believe the warning.

                                          I literally had this argument with the coworker who would eat other people’s food:

                                          “ did you eat my fucking sandwich??”

                                          “Oh. It was yours?”

                                          “Why the fuck would you do that??”

                                          “Well i didn’t know it was yours”

                                          “But you knew for certain it wasn’t YOURS, since you didn’t make and bring it!”

                                          “People should label stuff if they don’t want it to get eaten”

                                          Most frustrating person i ever met. Laziest fuck ever too. This guy couldn’t walk without dragging his feet

                                          When I was in the Navy, a dude kept eating my fucking chips and salsa. It was a small work center, we all knew whose shit was whose in our tiny fridge. So one day I put really fucking hot hot sauce in my salsa and left it in the fridge. Motherfucker has the gall to get pissed at me like I'm the asshole. He didn't eat my salsa again after that.
