Holy cow, that person has too much time on their hands. I would bet anything that the style and voice of the note writer left his/her office mates with 0% doubt as to who wrote this smarmy piece of PA. So nice try signing it as a plastic bag…your anonymity is a farce.

That’s an awful lot of wah, no question, but on principle I’m with the notewriter 100%. Any moron who puts their thermally insulated carrier inside the refrigerator should be flagged to HR with serious questions about exactly how they managed to get hired by ${company}. It’s clearly not for their big brain.

  You mean like a thermally insulated carrier? Do you frequently lug your refrigerator up to the local ice rink because, well, it should go somewhere cold, right?

  While I think the notewriter is over-reacting and this is a non-issue, the entire point of getting a thermal container is to bypass the nasty no-man’s-land office fridge to keep your lunch cold right on your desk. Thermal container + ice pack = cold lunch at my desk with no risk of theft and no need to face the disgusting fridge.
  
  I just don’t understand Thermal Backpack.

  The backpack is for those of us who ride bikes or walk to work. It’s much easier to carry than one of those little lunch boxes.
  
  I’ve yet to see a thermal backpack, though. I used to carry a backpack, but they’re just heavy. Instead, I started carrying my food in the pockets in my jersey, and that’s plenty of space. Plus, I’m not outside in the heat long enough for my food to go nasty.

  @Beatus,
  Women who are breastfeeding still need to pump the milk even when the baby is not present. Once she returns to work, a woman needs to have a place to keep the milk until she can later give it to the child.

  Actually, no. Food stays fresher and colder in a refrigerator where the items have air moving around them.

  Specific heat: dQ = km dT where dQ is the amount of heat required to be added or removed from a material with mass m having a specific heat constant k in order to change its temperature by dT.
  
  You can approximate the specific heat constant of the frozen material in a freezer with the specific heat constant of water ice (since things like meat is made up mostly of water (our bodies are almost 70% water)). Thus, a higher mass would result in requiring more heating to change its existing temperature (say from 0C) to something higher. More heat is added to the freezer from the environment outside the freezer whenever people open the door. This heat must then be removed by the freezer. The freezer compressor is controlled by a thermostat. So the compressor will only cycle on if the temperature reaching the thermostat increases above the setpoint. A full freezer where the contents are already frozen both prevents the escape of cold air and reduces the amount of heat loss/temperature change.

  So, basically, if you stuff a bunch of new stuff in the fridge, it will take a while to cool down. Once it’s all cooled down, though, it will stay colder longer, and when small things are added, the small things will cool faster.

The note is way too wordy and a little pissy, but seriously, people do need to try to be a little more considerate of others. If multiple people are using a fridge, it’s common courtesy to not take up an entire shelf with your own crap. As someone that has 13 roommates, I sympathize with the note-writer — fridge etiquette is important. Better to say something to try to improve the situation than to do the truly passive aggressive thing and just squish their monster bag by piling your own stuff on top of it. ha ha

  I just can’t help but picture a version of “capture the flag”. Daily. Every meal. Eventually somebody would get the idea to hunker down at “base” to protect their perishables. They paint themselves “almond” to match the appliances and remain motionless in the background. Another roommate cautiously enters, gun held at the ready. Seeing no one in the kitchen, he moves quickly to make lunch. He reaches in to grab another roommate’s special organic milk, when the disguised roommate springs out from hiding and silently garrotes him.

  Unless you’re running a youth hostel or a one-room medieval hotel (Those are surprisingly fun if you have no issue with personal space, but can be shocking if you wake up at 3 a.m. ), 13 roommates is just too many.
  
  Or, y’know, unless they’re kittens. 13 kittens would be very welcome in a house, as long as they stayed adorable and didn’t piss everywhere.

We have several folks in our production labs who bring in and refrigerate a gallon container of rice each, which they eat over the course of a week. They get in before the office workers, so we in the office often get in to find all our stuff moved to the counter so they can fit their stuff in the TWO reefers. The day I found my insulin moved and left out on the counter (two tiny vials, in one ziploc bag) I went to the production manager and blew up. She had a review of what can go in the communal reefers, with stickers on the doors. Now we don’t have several 12-packs of soda and half a dozen BOXES OF CEREAL in there. No more gallon jugs of soy sauce in there. No more loaves of bread and packages of trail mix.
(to keep my medicine effective, I bought a small “dorm room” reefer and plugged it in under my desk. Holds my insulin, a couple of sodas, and my lunch. I’m good.)

Team note writer; Considering an insulted lunch bag would probably be in the fridge for only a few hours the food inside wouldn’t be affected by the fridge temperature anyway. Because it is made for that very purpose, to insulate against the outside temperature! Your food is better off by just putting it in the refridge or putting an ice pack inside the insulated bag.
And yes, I have an insulated bag offender at my place of work too.

Team Note Writer. The breakroom at the supermarket I work at is usually just fine–no one ever has problems fitting things inside the fridge.

But then. Then. Third shift comes in, and for some reason well beyond me, it seems like EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM has one of these massive bags, and into the fridge they all go, crushing and displacing whatever was in there. And I swear to god they completely ruin the efficiency of the fridge–everything in there, especially kept in the door, feels warm when they’re in there.

I just…why? Why is that necessary? First and second shifters have those bags too, but they don’t put them in the fridge! What is it about third shift that makes it necessary? Do food-spoiling demons invade the back rooms after midnight? I need to know!

Half my office brings those thermal things. We manage to fit them all in the fridge, along with everyone else’s tupperware, plastic bags, and the occasional retro metal lunchbox.

Team Note Writer all the way. One guy at work here takes up a LOT of room in the community fridge with his military grade backpacking-through-Nepal-sized lunch bag. It’s crazy. Then at lunch time, all that is in there that needs to be refrigerated is salad. The crackers and other stuff is all dry goods you’d keep in a pantry.

On hot summer mornings when I go to the gym before work, I pack my food in an insulated bag, but when I get to work, I Take out items and put them in the fridge, and keep the bag at my desk.

Coupla things, my fellow PAN’ers:

1. You’re all talking about insulated lunch bags like they can keep ice cubes frozen, and that’s surely not the case with the two I have. They keep things cool for long enough to get to work, but it’s certainly not enough to keep something tender (like milk for my tea) from spoiling.

2. Plastic bags in the refrigerator are WORSE than insulated lunch bags because they don’t hold their shape. The stuff inside kind of falls sideways and then the bag’s “footprint” is twice as big. PAPER lunch bags FTW.

3. Anywhere I’ve worked with a nasty fridge, I’ve cleaned it out. It works like this: wait a few weeks to make sure there isn’t cleaning schedule already in place. Then put up a note on Monday saying that EVERYTHING will be thrown away on Friday after a specific time. THEN DO IT. Stay late on Friday and clear the crap out of that sucker, and be ruthless. (I recently worked on a floor that a large group had moved off of, and they all left behind their fridge crap, and nobody else cleared it up. Wow was there ever lots of room in the fridge after I took care of that little problem. The best part is there was a note on the fridge saying that it got completely cleared out monthly or weekly or something, but it never actually happened.)

  1. Milk can stay out of the fridge and in a room-temperature environment for at least six hours before spoiling, even without an insulated bag. Of course, cold milk usually tastes better, but it isn’t rotten. If it’s going into tea, it’s going to be warmed at that point anyway.
  
  2. It all depends on the size and shape of the items INSIDE the plastic bag. A two pint container inside a plastic bag takes up a lot less room than a two pint container inside a two quart insulated bag.
  
  3. Good. We do that, too. Fortunately, most of my coworkers dine out every day for lunch. The five of us that don’t are respectful and we keep everything clean, except the two people with huge insulated bags that literally take up half of an entire shelf. Since there are only a few of us, it’s really a non issue.
  
  There’s one thing that has been pointed out, that you have clearly overlooked, and that is that insulated bags are insulated from heat, AND from cold. Putting an insulated bag into the fridge will not keep your milk as cold as taking the milk out of the bag and putting it into the fridge by itself. There’s really no reason to keep an insulated bag in the fridge, as it does nothing but take up space. Sure, a plastic bag is annoying as hell, too, since things fall all over the place, but at least the food inside the plastic bag is really cold when removed from the fridge.

Over-the-top note, but I have to sympathize. My workplace has just two refrigerators for its 140+ employees and some people just don’t think about that when they shove their enormous insulated containers in there. And I do mean shove – many times I’ve had to go fishing in the back of the fridge for my leftover soda or whatever because someone in a hurry decided to just cram their lunch onto the shelf without looking rather than rearrange others’ food to make a space. That probably peeves me more than the size issue, to be honest.

Yeah, it’s pretty rude to shove your large piece of crap into the communal refrigerator. It’s also pretty rude to write such an arrogant whiny rant anonymously, rather than maturely address the issue face to face.

Anyone else love the comments on the note?
+1
-1

I’d put good money on the -1 being from Thermal Backpack himself.

lol this is not that serious. Who writes a novel like that over the size of a lunch bag. Maybe he was just really hungry?

I like how they hung the note up INSIDE the refrigerator.

I put my thermal bag in the fridge, but it’s only slightly bigger than the tupperware inside, and it keeps the crazy OCD manager from throwing it away before I can eat it.

  I put mine in the fridge too, because I’m guessing that people don’t want to look at my gross food in the tupperware because I don’t want to look at their gross food. I also do it because I live in Texas, and the drive to work will cause pathogens to grow at a rate I’m uncomfortable with. Yes, milk can be drank after sitting out for 6 hours, but if you do it a lot you’re probably going to get sick.

Conceptually I agree with Team Notewriter, but I’m not on board with it execution-wise. Writing an essay when “Please don’t take up excessive space in the fridge so that other people can’t fit there stuff in there” will do is obnoxious.
