Breakroom Do's and Don'ts (mostly Don'ts)

[Roots-type]

As my time in the workforce marches on and I work for different companies, one thing remains a constant and a necessity: Breakroom Etiquette.

Much to my offense, I continue to find adults who are exceptionally unreflective in how they handle themselves in a shared workplace environment. This thread will hopefully serve as a place to discuss the Do's and Don'ts of the workplace breakroom. I'll start....


1. Do NOT, under any circumstances, think for a second that it's OK to microwave your leftover sauerkraut from the night before in the breakroom.

Push your chair under the table after you get up...

 

[Zinc03Cobra]

No fish. period.

 

[Sinister04L]

For **** sakes clean up after yourselves you disgusting slobs.

If you put something in the refrigerator don't leave it there until it smells like fish or sauerkraut LMAO!!!

I have literally fired people for not heeding my warnings about reheating fish in the office microwave.

 

[Blown 89]

Microwave whatever the **** you want in the breakroom IMO.

 

[VegasMichael]

If you take the last cup of coffee you better be the one to start another pot or your ass is mine.

 

[DriftwoodSVT]

Blow up your soup or pasta in the microwave, and leave the mess for the next person...

[HudsonFalcon]

Never take your pants off in the breakroom.

If finding the empty water jug on the cooler was a super power I'd be an Avenger.

Turns out people aren't big fans of microwaving broccoli.

We have a lady from the Philippines on staff. Once a week she reheats something that smells like fish head soup. Cannot go in breakroom for an hour afterwards so, 100% agreed on the no reheat fish rule!!!!

 

[BittenInBama]

Also, do not pop popcorn in microwave if you can't tell when to stop it BEFORE it burns!

 

[Relaxed Chaos]

Keep your dick and balls off the countertops.

One might think this to be obvious, but I had no idea until my meeting with HR

The empty water jug is huge in my office. Actually, we have few lazy asses that seem to take the last of everything without making copies or refilling. Leaving the copy machine out of paper is another. Idiots. I’ll add one
more. Do you need to reheat something that smells so damn good that everyone is drooling.

If you are going to watch porn atleast have it loud enough so the rest can beat it too.

 

[SSCOBRA03]

Don't leave dirty dishes in the sink.

no heating up fish in microwave should be posted as a rule at every single break room.

at a prior office some woman would come up from the 3rd floor to mine (5th), would heat up some sort of fish that would stink up the whole f'ing floor. mind you my office area was at opposite end of the break room.
