Maybe they wouldn't have to do that if you'd stop stealing the milk, Brenda

Imagine working in an office where you need to do that? Who says to themselves, "gee, i didn't bring that thing so it must be OK for me to have some"? These kinds of tactics don't come from nowhere
You know what, I wouldn't even bother if it happened once. I wouldn't like to be in the same situation, and while I would ask first, I understand we're not the same. The moment it happens the second time, though... Pure laxative with white food colouring.
I don't get how the people here are offended by this. Entitlement? It's so fun to bring something in to just to find out it's gone before you even opened it. Even with a god damn name label. If I bought a carton of milk, I wouldn't mind sharing some, but not the entire thing for one person to make porridge from. At that point you cunts can just buy your own shit.
I'm offended because this is indicative of a much larger problem(distrust amongst coworkers) and I don't think people should be so satisfied with this band-aid solution.
This feels like a microcosm of society as a whole right now. 3 individuals taking individual action that won't solve the root problem.
And I can easily imagine the boss(or anyone with actual authority) having their own personal fridge and just ignoring the situation entirely no matter how often it's brought up.
You can feel fully justified in doing something and still hate having to do it.

Yeah, can you believe how some people are so entitled they *check notes* expect to be able to use the food they bought

New interview question: "please show me the inside of the common refrigerator."
A more pertinent concern is having to work with the person whose behavior precipitated this reaction.
One person locking their milk makes them a weirdo. Three means someone else is.
Plot twist: one guy brought in 3 locked milks.
Or one guy keeps bringing in milk, and another guy keeps locking that guy’s milk.
Jim?
Whenever his milk starts going off at home, he locks it up and brings it to the office to see how long people will respect the locks before throwing away rotten milk.
I think that's the point if you read between the lines. I don't think this shit post is arguing that those who lock their milk aren't the victims here.
But on second reading idk
I remember solving something similar using an opaque bottle with "GI supplements, don't drink" written in sharpie. Especially since the first time it was actually true and they didn't believe the warning.

The really offensive part is having >2 liters of milk, per person, in a work fridge. What the fuck do you need so much for? I bet that fridge smells like a mix of spoiled milk and utter distrust for other human beings.
udder distrust. it was right there
Just because it’s there, doesn’t mean you have to milk the pun for all it’s worth.
don't be so sour... milk is for everyone
this thread is really curdling

It is British milk. Even as a Brit myself it astonishes me how much tea some people drink in a day. That shit must literally ooze from the pores of some people.
I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain ...

“This is the lockpicking lawyer and what I have for you today is”
Where is the barbed wire?
Why does one of the jugs have an infection warning on it? Are these bio samples at a lab and the locks are a safety measure?
I worked at a hospital, and sometimes the Emergency Dept nurses would be cheeky and use the biohazard bags and stickers for their food items. nobody is going to eat my cookies if they have to blindly trust someone being a joker lol
How about fixing the problem by having the management provide free milk? It's about a pound a day for them and everyone is happier.
Trent the milk guzzler arrives at 6 and drinks it all.
Fuck you Trent!

I work at a place that went from having bbq's and get togethers to... well, nothing in about five years. Yesterday we got a company wide e-mail to tell us the CEO is GTFO'ing and being replaced by an external hire. I'm not worried at all though. In fact, I'm kinda hoping to be fired for the severance. Fuck this job :D
My story exactly. Company still has summer parties but they cut a lot of benefits, started firing people and the level of gaslighting went up dramatically. I was looking for something else but fortunately stayed long enough to get fired and cash out. Found new job in 1.5 months. I'm almost grateful to them for being such assholes.
Just bring a empty jug and stab the bottom and enjoy your free milk buffet.
