My dept. at work is made up of about 30 folks and most of us enjoy cooking and we often have food-days, or sometimes folks just bring something in to share w/ us all. Like all work-environments, we have one co-worker who brings in food and we're all always leery (!) of her dishes. We've found hair in her food contributions, and she tends to be really cluttery (and filthy-dirty!) in her work-station and her area in our community fridge is pretty badly-kept. We're always sorting thru her stuff and tossing-out aged and moldy items. She can't seem to politely wipe the mouths of community ketchup/mustard bottles, nor wipe messes or rinse/dry the community sink in our little kitchen. She also leaves opened half-full cups and bottles of soda, tea, juice and water in her work-station, then finishes them when she returns from time-off. She often brings in sandwiches w/ mayo (miracle whip) on them and instead of chilling them, leaves them out on her desk 4-5 hours and eats them. She has mentioned she prefers eating potato salad made from peeled/chopped potatos still hot just after they come out of the boiling water and are tossed with mayo, mustard, etc, and prefers to eat it while still warm rather than after it's chilled. Of course I have concerns about all of these things, and not to sound mean, but she's one of those co-workers that if she dropped to the floor this moment, it would be an annoyance just to have to stop what I was doing to turn and check her pulse! (Is that awful, or what? Ha!)
I just know that she's one of those people who- if you were to visit her at home- you'd be shocked! She's proll'y got covered pots on her stove-top w/ luke-warm food in them and spoons sticking-out, half-eaten platters of grub still on the table hours past meal-time w/ flies buzzing all over it- just sitting there waiting to be eaten at supper-time in a few hours. UGH!
