Why bother with the bottle… why not just spit straight onto the salad?

And why is there a shopping bag from Coach in the refrigerator, anyway?

What’s the yellow liquid in the unmarked bottle?
Next time, just put the milk in a red biohazard bag labeled “Stool sample.” No one will touch it. Or the fridge. On second thought, they’ll probably haul your milk – AND the fridge – out and bury it in the HAZMAT landfill.
*sigh* Never mind.

If you’re going to introduce contaminants, why keep it in the fridge? That one’s going to come back and bite him in the ass…

Hey, it’s a Commie fridge.
To each according to his need applies.
Damned aristocrats spitting into their salad dressing so the proletariat cannot share in the pleasure of a delectable salad is just wrong.

It’s so annoying when people write that because you know nobody actually spits into their own food like that. It wouldn’t discourage me from eating it at all.

See, what you do is spike some food with ipecac and leave it there for the unsuspecting food-stealing bastards to eat. That’ll show them what for.

Is it just me, or does Matt in Los Angeles look like he doesn’t have to be a giant douche if he doesn’t want to, but he just really enjoys douching himself up?

If the spitter is hot, it would actually encourage me to use the food. Kinda like applying the transient property to face sucking.

2% milk for coffee? Someone has no fscking clue. It is the fat in the milk that makes the coffee taste better. 2% milk is just some kind of bleach for the coffee and placebo when it comes to taste. You could just wank into the coffee if you like it bleached.
People with a 2% milk spleen deserve spit in it.

My husband always says never to mouth off to the fast food drive through person because they spit in your food if you get uppity about something. Obviously this crosses over to other domains.

oi!
Let me get this straight, all this spitorama over a kraft salad dressing?
That coach bag must be owned by original note writer.

I think it’s obvious that if you don’t put your name on a condiment or other multi-use product, it’s open to communal use.

I wonder if the nameless lunch in the ziploc bag feels inferior to the Coach bag lunch.

What I love about this note is that the rebuttal seems to imply some long suffered jerkiness from the note writer. It leaves one to wonder what other PA notes the person might have written.

Yeah, well I just had a threesome with both your moms just (since you suck) and I used this bottle of dressing as a butt plug.

It may simply be a social experiment. Plastic roaches in there would work without the need for notes.

If only the red addition had said:

It would have been PA and it would have rhymed! Double PA points!

One of my biggest pet peeves– Brand-name bags used to carry lunch. “Oh this? I just grabbed a random bag to carry my lunch. Nothing special”.
Cringe.

Thanks, Matt, for telling us you keep your 2% milk for your coffee in the fridge; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so funny.

I’ve been thinking about it, and I’ve come to the conclusion that if I did spit in my salad dressing, I would be too grossed out to use it myself.

Screw the spit in the salad dressing, I am more concerned about the pee in the bottle to the right.
As least the PAN gave the communal fridge thief a warning.

The festering spit in the salad dressing would either
A: Become infused with all of the unnatural crap in the dressing and become a super flu such as the world has never seen
-or-
B: Use it’s digestive juices to inhale the bottle of dressing, until there is nothing left but a speck of basil.
So perhaps no one is using the dressing, the spit is just dissolving it.
Ew

I don’t blame someone being pissed off about other people helping themselves to the food products they specially bring to work.
I’m lactose intolerant and eat my breakfast at my desk in the morning. I keep a container of almond milk in the fridge and I have had it mysteriously drain overnight. Frankly, if I bring something and write my name on it, people should fuck off and leave it be.

hm….the bottle isn’t even opened yet. I think I saw one other person out of the 40 before me that noticed. It isn’t even open, so your concerns about the multiplying bacteria inside from the “spit” are irrelevant.

That is so disgusting, why not buy a mini freg. and keep your food in it.
No need to spit. Save it for digesting your food.

Instead of spitting in the food, he should punch his loser roommate in the face. Stealing food is weak. Punch the thief in the face.

haha RB im guessing you’re the sort of person that would leave a note? you’re ridiculous, and so’s the person who wrote this note in the first place. the second comment though – classic. its funny even if they didnt actually spit in it, just for the fuming it would cause. hopefully then the loser hoarder would move out
