Food in the fridge is fair game

Recently I forgot my lunch, so I cruised over to the office fridge, which I like to refer to as Space Invader's Smorgasboard. I helped myself to a Lean Cuisine from Slave Driver's multi-pack stash in the freezer, then I tested a few bites of Big Mug Betty's pasta salad and kifed a few grapes from Fall Guy. Erupter put his usual note about defenestrating* whoever was stealing from his lunch (I wrote "It was Power Monger" on his note). Then I polished off one of the Ding Dongs in Mr. Obolete's lunch (he'll just think he already ate one as a snack - he has a lot of senior moments).

A lot of people think it's wrong to borrow from other people's lunches, but honestly, I'm doing them a favor, helping them cut calories and leaving more room in the fridge by not bringing my own lunch. That also saves electricity, so it's part of my own green initiative.

* Defenestration means to kill someone by pushing them out a window. Really, check it out at dictionary.com.
