We Kid You Not Childfree Forums

So our office is finally getting our big kitchen back. We had to tear out drywall last winter due to water damage and mold issues. It has taken almost a year to get contractors (though when they started it has only taken a couple weeks of actual work)
The kitchen looks GOOD. And we will be getting new appliances today. (Everything in there was like 25 years old or older)

Not the PAM

One of my co-workers (not the one I normally bitch about) is all up in arms. There was a page a minute ago that if you had ANY food in the back area (where we moved the old fridge) to remove it immediately. Groovy. However, she put her lunch in that fridge and pitched a fit about moving it. We have another small fridge in a coffee area up front. It has been our main kitchen for almost a year. It is a little larger than most dorm fridges, but still a fridge.
Nope, she can't move her stuff. She called the head guy of the building maintainance to ask to leave her stuff in it.
Now what happens if the guy forgets to call her if the movers come before lunch. Or if the gals who have been on the committee go back to clean out the fridge and toss co-worker's lunch.
(We were told yesterday to remove everything. You would have thought she would remember and either plan to go out or bring her lunch in a insulated bag with an ice pack.)

What the hell does she have in there that she just can't move? o.O

Lettuce and salad dressing.
Yeah, I didn't get it either.

She sounds like someone who needed something to complain about today. I can think of no good, rational reason for her behaviour!

Congrats on the new kitchen... that sounds lovely!

Control issues, IMO. Some people feel that they have no power over anything in their lives, so they will make any attempt to try to assert themselves....even if it does make them look like total idiots!

I swear, when I listen to the petty shit that people carry-on about, I just think about how nice it must be that these menial issues are the biggest problems in their life.

She should just move the damn food instead of acting like some brat (and wasting everyone's time).

beachbum hit the nail on the head - that's really petty crap for her to complain about! She sounds like a flake.

Congrats on the new kitchen, though!

It's definitely control issues. It's probably the one area in her life where by god she can make other people listen. It's a stereotype but I've found that middle aged women are the absolute worst in this regard.

I wish that was my biggest pet peeve of the day. Seesh.

And Eddy is the winner.
Yeah, it was a weird silly thing to freak about. And why I had to get drug into it, I don't know.

But on the other hand, the kitchen is about 95% done and the new stuff is really nice.
