Writes our submitter from Portland, Oregon: “People steal out of the fridge all the time, so I’m not sure why someone thought money would be safe taped to barbecue sauce.”

The best part of this note is the fact a rainbow winged unicorn is taking a shit on everything.
Epic.

There are just so many other places you could have put that $2.00.

Ummmm, that’s not a reindeer, and it looks like it should poop rainbows instead of little black turds, anyway. Huh…

In keeping with the holiday spirit, it should be, “You filthy animal,” and you should instruct him to keep the change.

Definitely Pegasus, not a unicorn. The “faint horn” is the left wing…

Why am I not surprised over the top, bitchy, passive-agressiveness combined with a fundamental failure in basic judgement is coming from the US capitol of both?

Sorry, but if I found $2 taped to a bottle of BBQ sauce in my work fridge, I would take it just to teach that silly person a lesson. I’d leave the (no doubt HFCS-laden) sauce, though.

A winged unicorn is an alicorn, in case anyone was wondering

uncreative
The term “alicorn” is catching on for a winged unicorn, but “alicoorn” used to just be the term for the horn of a unicorn. A unicorn has an alicorn. The term for a winged unicorn used to be “winged unicorn”. Given that the usage of “alicorn” as a winged unicorn is very modern, some people don’t accept it yet and your mileage will vary.
Why did somebody tape $2 to their barbecue sauce?

Of course, it’s possible they wrote the note and then STOLE their own $2, just to make a point.

I dunno, maybe the outrage is merited if it was a Canadian $2 bill. They’ve been out of circulation for years, and are worth a lot to collectors.

While I understand the frustration and temptation leading to make a sign and posting it, does she not realize that she looks like an idiot to her coworkers and, most likely, superiors, who also use the kitchen? I’d be embarrassed if my boss’s boss saw me do something like this.
Guess I’m glad I’m now unemployed.

1) if I left BBQ sauce in the work fridge I would assume other people are going to use it
2) if I left $2 taped to BBQ sauce in the work fridge I would assume it wouldn’t be there by the next day
3) if I left a note like that i would assume my coworkers are going to make fun of me and think I’m mentally unstable…. And as a joke a coworker would probably give me $5 and call me a cheapskate

Reindeer are not the same as unicorns. Also don’t leave cash unattended in public venues, it will get taken, no matter where you tape it.

Perhaps the poster thought a BBQ bottle was a valid form of money retention storage? I mean, they put a uniponiflyinicorn up there and called it a reindeer…

If you fertilize your lawn with the unipegapony’s manure, sew some seeds, and water the plant with BBQ sauce, you can grow your very own money tree. If you sing to the tree, it will produce $2.00′s bills instead of the usual $1.00′s bills. And if you place a $2.00′s bill on Shel Silverstein’s grave, he won’t eviscerate you when the zombies finally attack.

Guys, the BBQ sauce is taped to the $2.00′s, not the other way around.
See how that changes everything?

I’ve got a dating question.
I’m a 56 YO straight man, single, haven’t had sex in 4-1/2 years.
A woman asked me out, someone I like and would have asked out but have (had?) given up on women.
I am an accomplished cook and want to make her dinner at my house, but she seemed slightly put off by this. Does it make me look cheap or is she worried I am going to jump her or something? Really, I’ve given up on restaurants and can make better food cheaper without all the hoopla.
She is about my age, maybe slightly younger and pretty ‘earthy’, as in nearly no makeup and naturally graying hair which is just my style. She fishes. She FLY fishes. Read that twice.
Ladies?

Dinner in someone’s home is for when there’s an established rapport, a couple of dates under your belt. You do that AFTER you know you want to keep dating this person some more. First date is way too soon.

And I always found that “third date rule” (sex on the third date) is ridiculous, but cooking for her on the third date might send her that message, so just be awares.

1. Plus: She asked you out. Don’t try to take over the date. If she makes the first move to pay for the dinner date, let her, don’t fight it or get pushy. We can pay for our dates when we initiate. : )
2. I’m rooting for you!!!

On which date is it appropriate to go fishing? You could go ice fishing, I guess. Then you could go home and cook the fish.

Everyone was right, she wanted to take ME out.
This is new to me, but I like it fine.
Wednesday night.
I pick her up, she selects the place and pays.
Going very slowly, haven’t dated in years and years. We’ve know each other for a year, she actually said “I gave up on you ever figuring it out!”.

Did something happen to the victims’s pockets and/or wallet? Oh man, someone sewed my pockets shut, guess I better tape my $2 to the BBQ sauce jar! *sigh* I can’t wait to be reunited with my $2. The things I am going to spend it on!
Better use some extra tape here to properly secure my windfall.

Whoever stole this money was a dick, but I really have to scratch my head at the decision to store your money in the /refrigerator/ of all places.

I read that as $200 and about crapped myself.
“WHO PUTS $200 IN A FRIDGE?!”
I suppose it’s still a valid question for $2, but it seems less important somehow.
