Office Food Etiquette: An Open Letter - Page 2

Unless you lived in my womb for nine months and subsequently came out of my private parts, don't expect me to do your dishes for you. You can do them yourself*, and you can also put them away after.

* Note: piling up your dirty dishes at your desk is not good enough. Crusty old pasta or cereal is gross. It attracts bugs, it stinks, and when you have ten bowls at your desk, guess what? There aren't any left for ME to use.

Can you please throw out your food when it starts to rot in the fridge? Again, I'm not your mother, and since you will probably leave the gross old Tupperware that contained your uneaten soup for me to clean, please throw away the soup before it gets absolutely disgusting.

Snacking is not an acceptable reason to never pick up the phone. I'm sick of picking up the phone all the time just to find out it's one of your many boyfriends. You snack all day long, anyway. Swallow, and pick up the phone.

Thank you.
