Writes Libby in Green Bay, Wisconsin: “In my office, about 100 people share one communal fridge. One person has been bringing a gallon of milk for months and completely ignoring how much room it takes up. Apparently, someone had had enough of their inconsiderate nonsense.”
After all, the considerate Wisconsinite would just hitch his dairy
cow up in the breakroom like everyone else.

UPDATE: The office dairy lover responds!

Writes Patrick in Wisconsin: “A member of our office staff prefers a lighter blend, while the rest of us tech guys prefer a cup of coffee that will actually wake us up.”
After the original laminated note spurred this tempest in a coffee pot, Patrick says that Ms. “Three Scoops” upped the ante by bringing in a second coffeemaker for her own personal use. The notes, however, remain.

Stephen in Maryland build this contraption after his sixth or seventh soda was stolen out of the office fridge. “My boss told me there was nothing I or he could do about it,” Stephen says, but he thought he’d give it a shot anyway. “I went a little overboard,” he admits, “But so far, no one’s been able to defeat the system.”

Ana in Kentucky spotted this epic on the faculty fridge at the school where she works.
![Dear Coke-I-leave-on-the-door-thief, As a child who grew up in the depression era, I come from humble beginnings. I have learned to take pleasures in the simple things in life; the river, the trees in spring, the wonderment in children's eyes...As I move forward through another morning, my caffeine deprived brain and I ponder silently the consequences of your actions. Have you no pride? Have you no shame? As a part time Aid and Para Professional, my compensation for said duties is not as lucrative or rewarding as the joy my heart feels when a student finally reaches their potential academically, spiritually, and emotionally. I beg you, kind sir or ma'am, to consider the effects your actions have on my ability to produce God-fearing citizens of this democracy. May I suggest that you help yourself to any of the half-empty Sprite bottles or outdated rotten apples that I tend to leave in the same general vicinity as my valued Coke product? May you never feel the pain of eating peanut butter at 10am and having nothing to drink except something called "water." To close, I would like to you close your eyes and quietly contemplate a world where cans of Coke are allowed to sit freely and chill, literally...a world where somewhat hard working people who need caffeine before noon dance to the music of 12 ounces of pure joy...a world where children's lives are changed through jump rope, dodgeball, and rogue games of tag. Now, imagine that world cold and empty, crumbling because of your actions. Did you picture the Deathstar? (George Lucas INC, all rights reserved). Me too, friend. Believe me, that's not the kind of world we want [redacted] to be. I deserve a better world, friend, and so do the 6 or so children who actually listen to me on a daily basis. I guess you could say I'd like to buy the world a Coke and furnish it with love. That includes you friend of friends. May you reconsider your decisions, and may God continue to bless America. And stop stealing my drink, it's annoying. Dear Coke-I-leave-on-the-door-thief, As a child who grew up in the depression era, I come from humble beginnings.

Explains Johnny in Alabama: “My friend Lauren left this for my brother Jared when she let him stay at her house for a few weeks. Every day she would come home and have a glass of milk and iced coffee. One day, she discovered that Jared had emptied the milk once already and had replaced it with milk from the gas station. It wasn’t the ‘weird expensive milk that she buys,’ and to make matters worse, he hadn’t checked the expiration date. The second time it happened he accidentally put the empty carton back in the fridge and came home later to find this note” — complete with a ‘hidden’ message.
